Power Failures

You turn on your
LifeBook notebook and
nothing seems to
happen.
Your LifeBook note-
book turns off all by
itself.
Possible Cause
The card may have been installed
while an application was running,
so your LifeBook notebook is not
aware of its installation.
Your software may not have the
correct software driver active.
You may have the wrong I/O
address selected for your PC Card
device.
Your PC Card device and another
device are assigned the same I/O
address.
The card may have been
"removed" using the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility.
The installed primary battery is
completely discharged, there is no
optional second battery installed
or there is no power adapter (AC
or Auto/Airline) installed.
The primary battery is installed
but is faulty.
The battery or batteries are low.
The power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) is not plugged in properly.
The power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) has no power from the
AC outlet, airplane seat jack, or
the car's cigarette lighter.
The power adapter (AC or auto/
airline) is faulty.
You have a battery failure.

Possible Solutions
Close the application and restart your LifeBook
notebook.
See your software documentation and activate the
correct driver.
See PC Card documentation to determine the
required I/O address. Change the BIOS settings. (See
BIOS Setup Utility on page 29 for more information)
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS
setup utility and any other installed hardware or
software to make sure there are no duplications.
If the Unplug or Eject Hardware utility has been
used to "remove" the PC card, the system will not
recognize the card, even if it is still present in the
slot. Physically remove the card and reinstall it in the
slot. If that is not successful, reboot the system.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the batteries. (See Status
Indicator Panel on page 14 for more information)
Install a charged battery or a power adapter.
Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence
and condition of the batteries. (See Status Indicator
Panel on page 14 for more information) If a battery is
indicating a short, remove that battery and operate
from another power source or replace that battery.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the
presence and condition of the batteries. (See Status
Indicator Panel on page 14 for more information) Use
a power adapter to operate until a battery is charged
or install a charged battery.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. (See
Power Sources on page 27 for more information)
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for a
line switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC
outlet. If you are using an auto/airline adapter in a
car make sure the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessories position.
Try a different power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.
Verify the condition of the batteries using the Status
Indicator Panel, and replace or remove any batteries
that are shorted. (See Status Indicator Panel on
page 14 for more information)
