ExpressCard Problems
A card inserted in the Express-
Card slot does not work or is
locking up the system.
Power Failures
You turn on your LIFEBOOK
notebook and nothing seems
to happen.
Possible Cause
The card is not properly
installed.
Your software may not have the
correct software driver active.
The card may have been
installed while an application
was running, so the notebook
is not aware of it.
You may have the wrong I/O
address selected for your card
device.
The installed primary battery is
completely discharged, there is
no optional second battery
installed or there is no power
adapter installed.
The primary battery is installed
but is faulty.
The battery or batteries are low.
The power adapter is not
plugged in properly.
The power adapter (AC or
auto/airline) is faulty.
Possible Solutions
Remove and re-install the card.
See your software documentation and activate the correct driver.
Close the application and restart your notebook.
See your ExpressCard documentation to determine
the required I/O address. Change the settings in the Device
Manager.

teries. See "Status Indicator Panel" on page 20. Install a charged battery or a Power
adapter.
