Possible Solutions
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 58.
Make sure you have the right password. Enter the setup util-
ity and verify the Security settings and modify them as
accordingly. See "BIOS Setup Utility" on page 58.
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 28.
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.
Pressing [A] while holding down the [Fn] key allows you to
change your selection of where to send your display video.

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