103 - Troubleshooting
Possible Solutions
Push on the front of the optical drive tray until it latches. If
that doesn't work, pull out the modular drive latch to remove
the device from the bay, then re-insert the drive until it
latched; this ensures that the drive is properly seated.
Install DVD Player software. (See "Media Player Software" on
page 73 for more information.)
Verify the drive designator used by the application is the
same as the one used by the operating system. When the
operating system is booted from a DVD/CD, drive designa-
tions are automatically adjusted. Note that the drive designa-
tion can be changed with the Disk Management tool located
at Administrative Tools -> Computer Management.
Wipe the disc with a non-abrasive CD cleaning cloth and
reinsert. If it still will not work try another DVD/CD-RW/CD-
ROM in the drive.
This is normal. However, you may disable this feature.
Provide power to the Port Replicator.
Remove and re-dock your LifeBook Tablet PC.
