due to frequent hard drive
access or DVD/CD-ROM

or a LAN PC card.
The power savings features may
be disabled.
The brightness is turned all
the way up.
The batteries are very old.
The batteries have been
exposed to high temperatures.
The batteries are too hot
or too cold.
The Suspend/Resume 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.

Possible Solutions
Use both the primary battery and an optional
second battery and/or use a power adapter for this
application when at all possible.
Check the power management and/or setup utility
settings in the Power Savings menu and adjust
according to your operating needs.
Turn down the brightness adjustment. The higher
the brightness the more power your display uses.
Replace the batteries.
Replace the batteries.
Restore the notebook to normal operating tempera-
ture. The Charging icon on the Status Indicator
panel will flash when the battery is outside its
operating range.
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 29 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 29 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
determine 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 61 for more information)
