Possible Cause
The LifeBook notebook is set
for an external monitor only.
The power management time-
outs may be set for very short
intervals and you failed to
notice the display come on
and go off again.
Power On Self Test (POST)
has detected a failure which
does not allow the display
to operate.
The system may be password-
protected.
The notebook has gone into
Video timeout, Standby mode,
Suspend mode or Save-to-Disk
mode because you have not
used it for a period of time.
Something is pushing on the
Closed Cover switch.
The power management time-
outs may be set for very short
intervals and you failed to
notice the display come on
and go off again.
A foreign object, such as a
paper clip, is stuck between the
display and the keyboard.
If the spots are very tiny and
few in number, this is normal
for a large LCD display.
If the spots are numerous or
large enough to interfere with
your operation needs.
Your external monitor
is not compatible with
your LifeBook notebook.
Possible Solutions

allows you to change your selection of where to

choice. The choices, in order are: built-in display
only, external monitor only, both built-in display
and external monitor.

your operation needs. (See BIOS Setup Utility on
