108 If Something Goes Wrong Power and the batteries Power and the batteries Your device receives its power through the AC adaptor and power cord/cable or from the system battery. Power problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty AC adaptor or power cord/cable will neither power the device nor recharge the batteries. Here are some typical problems and how to solve them: The Power light does not come on when you plug in the AC adaptor and power cord/cable. Make sure the AC adaptor and power cord/cable are firmly plugged into both the wall outlet and the device. If the Power light still does not come on, check that the wall outlet is working properly by plugging in a lamp or other appliance. The AC adaptor and power cord/cable work correctly, but the battery will not charge. The battery does not charge while the device is consuming full power. Try turning off the device. The battery may not be inserted correctly in the device. Turn off the device, remove the battery, clean the contacts with a soft dry cloth (if necessary) and replace the battery. See "Removing the battery from the device" on page 33. The battery may be too hot or too cold to charge properly. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach room temperature and try again. If the battery light does not glow after a few minutes, the battery may have reached the end of its useful life. Try replacing it. The battery appears not to power the device for as long as it usually does. If you frequently repeat shallow charge and discharge, the battery meter may become inaccurate. Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again. Check the power options. For more information, see "Optimizing battery life" on page 37. Have you added a device, such as a memory module, that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the internal storage drive more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect how long the charge lasts.
