If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately. Wait a few minutes.	191
Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to make sure the terminals are clean. If necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth dipped in alcohol.	191
Check the Battery indicator. If it does not glow, let the computer charge the battery for at least 20 minutes. If the Battery indicator glows after 20 minutes, let the battery continue to charge at least another 20 minutes before turning on the computer.	192
If the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life. Replace it.	192
