submenu of the setup utility.
You did not hold the button
in long enough.
There may be a conflict with

You have a secured system
requiring a password to load
your operating system.
Internal hard drive was
not detected.
The system may be password-
protected.

BIOS setup changes were not
saved when you exited the
BIOS setup utility, returning it
to previous settings.

The angle of the display
and the brightness settings
are not adequate for your
lighting conditions.
T r o u b l e s h o o t i n g
Possible Solutions
Enable the button from the setup utility.
Hold the button longer. This may need to be a few
seconds if your application is preventing the CPU
from checking for button pushes.
Close all applications and try the button again.
Set the operating source by pressing the [ESC] key
while the Fujitsu logo is on screen or use the [F2]
key and enter the setup utility and adjust the source
settings from the Boot menu. (See BIOS Setup
Utility on page 35 for more information)
Make sure you have the right password. Enter the
setup utility and verify the Security settings and
modify them accordingly. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
page 35 for more information)
Use the BIOS setup utility or Primary Master
submenu, located within the Main menu, to try to
auto detect the internal hard drive.
Check the status indicator panel to verify that the
Security icon is blinking. If it is blinking, enter your
password.
See the POST messages to determine the meaning
and severity of the problem. Not all messages are
errors; some are status indicators. (See Power On Self
Test Messages on page 70 for more information)
Make sure you select Save Changes And Exit when
exiting the BIOS setup utility.
Contact your support representative for repairs.
This is not a user serviceable part but has a normal
life of 3 to 5 years.
Clear the Closed Cover switch. (See Figure 2-4 on
page 8 for location)
Move the display and the brightness control until
you have adequate visibility.
