Battery

If you suspect a problem with the battery, you should check the status of

the DC IN indicator as well as the Battery indicator. Please refer to

Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes, for more information on these

indicators, together with general battery operation.

Problem Procedure

Battery doesn’t

power the computer

The battery may be discharged - connect the AC

adaptor to recharge the battery.

Battery doesn’t

charge when the

AC adaptor is

attached (Battery

indicator does not

glow orange).

If the battery is completely discharged, it will not

begin charging immediately, in these instances you

should wait a few minutes before trying again. If the

battery still does not charge, you should check that

the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected to is

supplying power - this can be tested by plugging

another appliance into it.

Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the

touch - if so, it will not charge properly and should

be allowed to reach room temperature before you

try again.

Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to

make sure its connecting terminals are clean - if

necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth lightly

dipped in alcohol.

Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery,

taking care to ensure that it is securely seated in

the computer.

Check the Battery indicator - if it does not glow,

allow the computer to charge the battery for at least

twenty minutes. If the Battery indicator starts to

glow after this period, allow the battery to continue

to charge for at least another twenty minutes

before turning on the computer. However, if the

indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at

the end of its operating life and should be replaced.

However, if you do not believe the battery is at the

end of its operating life, you should speak to your

reseller, dealer or service provider.

Battery doesn’t

power the computer

as long as expected

If you frequently recharge a partially charged

battery, the battery might not charge to its full

potential - in these instances you should fully

discharge the battery and then attempt to charge it

again.

Check the Power saver option under Select a

power plan in the Power Options.
