Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC is sturdy and subject
to few problems in the field. However, you may
encounter simple setup or operating problems that you
can solve on the spot, or problems with peripheral
devices, that you can solve by replacing the device. The
information in this section helps you isolate and resolve
some of these straightforward problems and identify
failures that require service.
IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
If you encounter a problem that you are having diffi-
culty in solving, go through the following procedure
before pursuing further troubleshooting:
1. Turn off your Tablet PC.
2. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into your
Tablet PC and to an active AC power source.
3. Make sure that any card installed in the PC Card slot
is seated properly. You can also remove the card
from the slot, thus eliminating it as a possible cause
of failure.
4. Make sure that any devices connected to the external
connectors are plugged in properly. You can also
disconnect such devices, thus eliminating them as
possible causes of failure.
5. Turn on your Tablet PC. Make sure it has been off at
least 10 seconds before you turn it on.
6. Go through the boot sequence.
7. If the problem has not been resolved, refer to the
Troubleshooting Table, that follows, for more
detailed troubleshooting information.
8. If you still have the problem after taking all of the
above approaches, please check our Web site at
us.fujitsu.com/computers for possible known

successfully tested by the Power On Self Test. (This can
only appear if you have an SRAM PC Card installed.)
*Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn
Extended memory not working or not configured prop-
erly. If you have an installed memory upgrade module,
verify that the module is properly installed. If it is prop-
erly installed, you may want to check your Windows
Setup to be sure it is not using unavailable memory
until you can contact your support representative.
nnnn Extended RAM Passed
Where nnnn is the amount of memory in kilobytes
successfully tested.
*Failing Bits: nnnn The hex number nnnn
This is a map of the bits at the memory address (in

if you continue. Contact your support representative.
*Fixed Disk x Failure or Fixed Disk Controller
Failure (where x = 1-4)
The fixed disk is not working or not configured prop-
erly. This may mean that the hard drive type identified
in your setup utility does not agree with the type
detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the setup utility
to check for the hard drive type settings and correct
them if necessary. If the settings are OK and the message
appears when you restart the system, there may be a
serious fault which might cause you to lose data if you
continue. Contact your support representative.

2. Select one of the items from the list, and follow the
instructions that appear on the screen. Note that
only one application may be installed at a time.
3. Repeat step 2 to install additional applications.
RESTORING THE FACTORY IMAGE
The Restore Disc that came with your system contains
two utilities:
■The Recovery utility allows you to restore the original
contents of the C: drive.
■The Hard Disk Data Delete utility on this disc is used
to delete all data on your hard disk and prevent it from
being reused. Do not use the Hard Disk Data Delete
utility unless you are absolutely certain that you want
to erase your entire hard disk, including all partitions.
BOOT Priority Change
Before restoring an image, you must first verify that your
system is set up to boot from the DVD drive. To verify/
change the boot-up priority (rather than booting-up
from the hard drive or an external floppy disk drive),
perform the following steps:
1. Start your system and press the [F2] key when the
Fujitsu logo appears. You will enter the BIOS Setup
Utility.
2. Using the arrow keys, go to the Boot menu.
3. Arrow down to the Boot Device Priority submenu.
Press [Enter].
4. If “Optical Media Drive” or “CD-ROM Drive” is not
at the top of the list, arrow down to the drive in the
list, and press the space bar (or the + key) to move it
to the top of the list. (The system attempts to boot
from the devices in the order in which they are
listed.). Note that the BIOS for some systems will
indicate “CD-ROM Drive”, even when a DVD drive
is connected.
5. If you have an external DVD drive connected,
proceed to the next step; otherwise, proceed to
step 7.
6. If you have an external DVD drive connected:
• Select the Advanced menu in the BIOS window.
In order to install applications and/or
drivers from the DAR DVD, you will need to
connect an external DVD drive to your

Fujitsu Support web site at http://
us.fujitsu.com/computers to check for the
most current information, drivers and hints
on how to perform recovery and system
updates.
• The use of this disc requires that you
have a device capable of reading DVDs
attached to your system. If you do not
have a built-in DVD player, you will need
to attach an external player. For more
information on available external
devices, visit our Web site at:
us.fujitsu.com/computers.

Care and Maintenance
Care and Maintenance
If you use your LifeBook T Series Tablet PC carefully,
you will increase its life and reliability. This section
provides some tips for looking after the Tablet PC and
its devices.
LIFEBOOK T SERIES TABLET PC
Caring for your Tablet PC
■Your Tablet PC is a durable but sensitive electronic
device. Treat it with care.
■Make a habit of transporting it in a suitable carrying
case.
■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Any
unauthorized service performed on the computer will
void the warranty.
■ Always follow installation instructions closely.
■Keep it away from food and beverages.
■If you accidentally spill liquid on your Tablet PC:
1. Turn it off.
2. Position it so that the liquid can run out.
3. Let it dry out for 24 hours, or longer if needed.
4. If your Tablet PC will not boot after it has dried
out, call your support representative.
■Do not use your Tablet PC in a wet environment (near
a bathtub, swimming pool).
■Always use the AC adapter and batteries that are
approved for your Tablet PC.
■Avoid exposure to sand, dust and other environmental
hazards.
■Do not expose your Tablet PC to direct sunlight for
long periods of time as temperatures above 140° F
(60° C) may damage your Tablet PC.
■Keep the covers closed on the connectors and slots
when they are not in use.
■Do not put heavy or sharp objects on the computer.
■If you are carrying your Tablet PC in a briefcase, or
any other carrying case, make sure that there are no
objects in the case pressing on the lid.
■Do not drop your Tablet PC.
■Do not touch the screen with any sharp objects.
Cleaning your Tablet PC
■Always disconnect the power plug. (Pull the plug, not
the cord.)
■Clean your Tablet PC with a damp, lint-free cloth. Do
not use abrasives or solvents.
■Use a soft cloth to remove dust from the screen. Never
use glass cleaners.
Storing your Tablet PC
■If storing your Tablet PC for a month or longer, turn
the Tablet PC off, fully charge the battery, then remove
and store all Lithium ion batteries.
■Store your Tablet PC and batteries separately. If you
store your Tablet PC with a battery installed, the bat-
tery will discharge, and battery life will be reduced. In
addition, a faulty battery might damage the Tablet PC.
■Store your Tablet PC in a cool, dry location.
Temperatures should remain between 13º F (-25º C)
and 140º F (60º C).
Traveling with your Tablet PC
■Do not transport your Tablet PC while it is turned on.
■Do not check your Tablet PC as baggage. Carry it with
you.
■When traveling with the hard drive removed, wrap the
drive in a non-conducting materials (cloth or paper).
If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to
install the drive if needed. Never put your hard drive
through a metal detector. Have your hard drive hand-
inspected by security personnel. You can however, put
your hard drive through a properly tuned X-ray
machine.
■Take the necessary plug adapters if you're traveling
overseas. Check the following diagram to determine
which adapter you'll need or ask your travel agent.

KEYBOARD
Caring for your Keyboard
The keyboard of your computer is a very sensitive
instrument. It is made up of many switches that are
activated when you press on the keys. The keyboard is a
major component of the heat dissipation system in a
Tablet PC. Due to heat and size considerations the
keyboard is not sealed. Because the keys are so close
together, it is not easy for the user to see when liquids
have fallen onto the circuitry below the keys.
Attempting to clean the keyboard with a spray on
cleaner or rag soaked with cleaner the liquid can drip
onto the circuitry sight unseen. Once the liquid seeps
between the layers of circuitry, it can cause corrosion or
other damage to the circuits. This can result in keys
which no longer operate, or which, when pressed, record
the wrong characters and other similar failures.
There is no repair for this problem other than replace-
ment. The solution is to become aware of the issue and
take appropriate steps to protect your keyboard.
To clean the keyboard, use a rag dampened slightly with
cleaning solution. Use extreme care to prevent liquid
from dripping between the keys. Spraying directly on the
keys should be avoided. The spray should be applied first
to the cloth, and then the cloth wiped over the keys.
BATTERIES
Caring for your Batteries
■Always handle batteries carefully.
■Do not short-circuit the battery terminals (that is, do
not touch both terminals with a metal object). Do not
carry lose batteries in a pocket or purse where they
may mix with coins, keys, or other metal objects.
Doing so may cause an explosion or fire.
■Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate or incin-
erate the battery.
■Recharge batteries only as described in this manual
and only in ventilated areas.
■Do not leave batteries in hot locations for more than a
day or two. Intense heat can shorten battery life.
■Do not leave a battery in storage for longer than six
months without recharging it.
Increasing Battery Life
■Keep brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
■Set the power management for maximum battery life.
■Put your Tablet PC in Standby mode when it is turned
on and you are not actually using it.
■Limit your CD-ROM access.
■Disable the Windows CD auto insert function.
■Always use fully charged batteries.
■Eject PCMCIA cards when not in use.
OPTIONAL FLOPPY DISK DRIVE AND
FLOPPY DISKS
Caring for your Floppy Disks
■Avoid using floppy disks in damp and dusty locations.
■Never store a floppy disk near a magnet or magnetic
field.
■Do not use a pencil or an eraser on a disk or disk label.
■Avoid storing the floppy disks in extremely hot or cold
locations, or in locations subject to severe temperature
changes. Store at temperatures between 50º F (10º C)
and 125º F (52º C).
■Do not touch the exposed part of the disk behind the
metal shutter.
Caring for your optional Optional Floppy Disk
Drive
■To clean, wipe the floppy disk drive clean with a dry
soft cloth, or with a soft cloth dampened with water or
a solution of neutral detergent. Never use benzene,
paint thinner or other volatile material.
■Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in extremely hot or
cold locations, or in locations subject to severe
temperature changes. Store at temperatures between
50º F (10º C) and 125º F (52º C).
■Keep the floppy disk drive out of direct sunlight and
away from heating equipment.
■Avoid storing the floppy disk drive in locations subject
to shock and vibration.
■Never use the floppy disk drive with any liquid, metal,
or other foreign matter inside the floppy disk drive
or disk.
■Never disassemble or dismantle your floppy disk drive.
OPTIONAL CD DRIVE AND CDs
Caring for your CDs
CDs are precision devices and will function reliably if
given reasonable care.
■Always store your CDs in its case when it is not in use.
■Always handle CDs by the edges and avoid touching
the surface.
■Avoid storing any CDs in extreme temperatures.
■Do not bend CDs or set heavy objects on them.
■Do not spill liquids on CDs.
■Do not scratch CDs.

Care and Maintenance
■Never write on the label surface with a ballpoint pen
or pencil. Always use a felt pen.
■If a CD is subjected to a sudden change in tempera-
ture, cold to warm condensation may form on the sur-
face. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free
cloth and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use
a hair dryer or heater to dry CDs.
■If a CD is dirty, use only a CD cleaner or wipe it with a
clean, soft, lint free cloth starting from the inner edge
and wiping to the outer edge.
Caring for your Optional CD-ROM Drive
Your CD-ROM drive is durable but you must treat it
with care. Please pay attention to the following points:
■The drive rotates the compact disk at a very high
speed. Do not carry it around or subject it to shock or
vibration with the power on.
■Avoid using or storing the drive where it will be
exposed to extreme temperatures.
■Avoid using or storing the drive where it is damp or
dusty.
■Use of a commercially-available lens cleaner kit is

When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is
performed to avoid interference or data theft. This
grouping is performed with "Network name (SSID)". In
order to improve security, the network key is set
allowing no communication unless "Network name
(SSID)" coincides with the network key.
NTSC
National TV Standards Commission. The standard for
TV broadcast and reception for the USA.
Open system authentication
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN.
Since there is no check of network key upon authentica-
tion, clients can connect to the access point without
submitting correct network keys. However, in case of
actual communications, the same network key must be
set. Open system authentication is sometimes called
Open key authentication.

identical. Sections that differ between the two devices
have been noted in the text:
Intel PROSet Wireless LAN card (WM3B2915ABG)
Atheros Wireless LAN card (WLL4070)
Characteristics of the WLAN Device
The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the
mainboard of the mobile computer.
It is a dual-band radio that operates in two license-free
RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an
FCC license to operate. It operates in the 2.4 GHz
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band.
Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower
and middle bands of the 5 GHz Unlicensed National
Information Infrastructure (UNII) bands (for
IEEE802.11a).
operating mode, IEEE802.11b.
Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code
Keying (CCK) when the WLAN device is operating in
IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi-
sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in
IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi certified and operates at
the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in
IEEE802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in
IEEE802.11b mode.
The maximum communication range indoors is
approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that
range will increase or decrease depending on factors
such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter-
ference from external RF sources.
The specific WLAN devices support some or all of the
following encryption methods - WEP, TKIP, AES,
LEAP, EAP-TLS and PEAP encryption.
WIRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS DEVICE
Ad Hoc Mode
(See Figure 5-1)
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture
where wireless network connectivity between multiple
computers is established without a central wireless
network device, typically known as Access Point(s).
Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in
a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are
also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks
are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing
network connectivity between multiple computers.
Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti-
cation, and encryption key settings are identically

(See Figure 5-2)
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi-
tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or
wired network devices by communicating through an
Access Point. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices
can communicate with each other or can communicate
with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks
operate in infrastructure mode because they require
access to the wired LAN in order to access computers,
devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and
databases.
How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device comes pre-installed in your mobile
computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be
necessary for you to remove or re-install it. The Oper-
ating System that your mobile computer comes with has
been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.
WIRELESS NETW O RK CONSIDERATIO NS
The Intel (WM3B2200BG) and Broadcom WLAN
devices are dual-mode wireless network cards (sup-
The Intel and Broadcom WLAN devices operate in the
2.4GHz ISM band; the Atheros WLAN device also
operates in the 5 GH z lower and middle UNII bands.
The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is
typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max-
imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than
80 feet, depending on factors such as access point
transmit power, number and density of obstructions,
or external RF interference.
Microwave ovens, cordless phones, and wireless cam-
eras may interfere with the operation of WLAN device
as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4 GHz fre-
quency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices operate in.
Interference by microwaves does not occur with
IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GH z RF
band.
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GHz fre-
quency range may interfere with the operation of
WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of
interference include reduced throughput, intermittent
disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is
HIGH LY recommended that these interfering devices
be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the
WLAN device.

Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network
keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured
correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID)
and network key to the same values as those of the access point.
Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access
Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if
necessary.

other wireless
networks
The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference
with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your
Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering
device.
Wireless network
authentication has
failed
Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security
settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly
typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly
chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate
but not authenticate to the wireless network.
Incorrectly
configured network
settings
Recheck the configuration of your network settings.
For the method of checking, refer to the following page:·“Connection to
the Network” on page 101.
Incorrect IP address
configuration
This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact
your network administrator for the correct settings.

Wireless LAN Glossary
Ad Hoc Mode
Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture
where wireless network connectivity between multiple
computers is established without a central wireless
network device, typically known as Access Points.
Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in
a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc
connection” on page 94.
Channel
Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN
device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22
MHz wide channels.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate
IP addresses to computers on a local area network.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A data query service that provides a mechanism with
which to translate host names into Internet addresses.
IEEE802.11a
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data
rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz
lower and middle UNII bands.
IEEE802.11b
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data
rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band.
Access point
Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and
wired network traffic.
IP address
The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet
Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a
network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted
decimal notation.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or
data communications network) which is confined to a
limited geographical area.
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)
A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE
MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as
twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F,
or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or
colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which
uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet
interface.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at
one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi-
ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to
correctly receive data, normal communications can be
restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.
Network key
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi-
cation. The personal computer uses the same network
key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore,
it is necessary to set the same network key as the other
side of communication.
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is
performed to avoid interference or data theft. This
grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In
order to improve security, the network key is set
allowing no communication unless “Network name
(SSID)” coincides with the network key.
Open system authentication
Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan-
dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire-
less client before allowing it to associate.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
A method of allowing the authentication protocol
adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used
over an Ethernet.
Protocol
A procedure or rule of delivering data among
computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by
making all conditions required for communication
including the method of data transmission/reception
and actions upon communication errors into proce-
dures.

Shared key authentication
802.11 network authentication method in which the AP
sends the client device a challenge text packet that the
client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and
return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no
key, authentication will fail and the client will not be
allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica-
tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who
detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal-
lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP
key.
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier
attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that
acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect
to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from
another, so all access points and all devices attempting to
connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A
device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can
provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast
in plain text, it does not supply any security to the
network.
Subnet mask
TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into
multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists
of the subnet address and the address of each computer.
Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address
comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set
among computers communicating with each other.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol)
A standard protocol of the Internet.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire-
less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE
802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the
official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is
interoperable with any other product also showing that
logo.

IP address information
If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:
If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the
network, set the IP address as follows:
[Obtain an IP address automatically]
If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in
the network, ask the network administrator to check the
IP address to be set for the computer.
If no access point is found in the network:
An IP address is expressed with four values in the range
between 1 and 255.
Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren-
theses is a subnet mask.
<Example>
Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)
Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0)
:
:
Computer X: 192.168.100.254 (255.255.255.0)
IP addressing is much more complicated
than can be briefly explained in this
document. You are advised to consult with
your network administrator for additional
information.
A DHCP server is a server that
automatically assigns IP addresses to
computers or other devices in the network.
There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc
network.
