93 - Troubleshooting
Power Failures
You turn on your LifeBook
notebook and nothing
seems to happen. 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. Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 28.Install a charged battery or a Power adapter.
The battery is installed
but is faulty. Use the Status Indicator panel to verify the presence and condi-
tion of the batteries. If a battery is indicating a short, remove that
battery and operate from another power source or replace that
battery.
The battery is low. Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the presence and
condition of the batteries. See “Status Indicator Panel” on
page 28. Use a Power adapter to operate until a battery is
charged or install a charged battery.
The power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) is not
plugged in properly. Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See “Power
Sources” on page 46.
The Power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) is faulty. Try a different Power adapter or install a charged optional second
battery.
The Power adapter (AC
or auto/airline) has no
power from the AC out-
let, airplane jack, or the
car’s cigarette lighter. 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.
Your LifeBook notebook
turns off all by itself. You have a battery fail-
ure. 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 28.
