Possible Cause
The Suspend/Resume/Power On
button is disabled from the
Advanced submenu of the Power
menu of the setup utility.
You did not hold the button
in long enough.
There may be a conflict with the
application software.
The boot sequence settings of the
setup utility are not compatible
with your
configuration.
You have a secured system
requiring a password to load
your operating system.
Internal hard drive was
not detected.
Power On Self Test (POST) has
detected a problem.
BIOS setup changes were not
saved when you made them and
exited the BIOS setup utility
returning it to previous settings.
The BIOS CMOS hold-up
battery has failed.
Something is pushing on the
Closed Cover switch.
The notebook is set for an
external monitor only.
The display angle and brightness
settings are not adequate for
your lighting conditions.
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 23
for more information)
Make sure you have the right password. Enter the setup
utility and verify the Security settings and modify them
as accordingly. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 23 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.
See the Power On Self Test (POST) messages to deter-
mine the meaning and severity of the problem. Not all
messages are errors; some are simply status indicators.
(See Power On Self Test Messages on page 47 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 6
for location)
Pressing [F10] while holding down the [Fn] key allows

order are: built-in display only, external monitor only,
both built-in display and external monitor.
Move the display and the brightness control until you
have adequate visibility.
