If Something Goes Wrong Power and the batteries 101 Power and the batteries Your device receives its power through the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord or from the system battery. Power problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty USB/AC adaptor or power/docking connector cord 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 USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord. Make sure the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord 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 USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord 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 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. The device does not power on. Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again. Check the power options. For more information, see "Optimizing battery life" on page 29. 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. If the device still does not power on, contact your service provider immediately. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries.

Power and the batteries
Your device receives its power through the USB/AC adaptor and
power/docking connector cord or from the system battery. Power
problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty USB/AC adaptor or
power/docking connector cord 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
USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord.
Make sure the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord
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 USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord
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 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.
The device does not power on.
Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again.
Check the power options. For more information, see
“Optimizing

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.
If the device still does not power on, contact your service provider
immediately.
After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at
maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for
