User's Manual Battery If you suspect a problem with the battery, check the DC IN indicator as well as the Battery indicator. For information on indicators and battery operation see Chapter 6, Power. Problem Procedure Battery doesn't power the computer The battery may be discharged. Connect the universal AC adaptor to charge the battery. Battery doesn't charge when the universal AC adaptor is attached (Battery indicator does not glow orange.) If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging at once. Wait a few minutes. If the battery still does not charge, make sure the outlet is supplying power. Plug in an appliance and see if it works. If it doesn't, try another power source. Check whether the battery is hot or cold. If the battery is too hot or too cold, it will not charge properly. Let it reach room temperature. Unplug the universal 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. Connect the universal AC adaptor and replace the battery. Make sure the battery is securely seated. If the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life. Replace it. If you do not think the battery is at the end of its operating life, see your dealer. TROUBLESHOOTING 9-6
