Checkpoint
Have you been pressing any
of the keys?
Is it set to output to the CRT?
Cause and Solution
On this computer, if the power management functions are set
and no key is pressed for a certain period of time, the CPU
stops and the LCD panel backlight goes out. (In this state,
pressing any key lights up the backlight again.) If the computer
stops too frequently, change the BIOS setup settings.
Switch over to the LCD display with the [Fn] + [F10] keys.

Checkpoint
Is the AC adaptor con-
nected?
Is the battery overheated
(The
on the LCD display
flashes.)?
Is the computer too cold
(The
on the LCD display
flashes.)?
Was the charging stopped
midway?
Cause and Solution
Check that the AC adaptor is correctly plugged into the power
socket and into the computer.
If the ambient temperature is high and the battery temperature
becomes too high during use, the battery protection function
may be triggered to stop the charging.
If the battery temperature falls too low, the battery protection
function may be triggered to stop the charging.
If you use the computer and disconnect the AC adaptor
between the start of charging and the time the
LCD turns
off, then the battery will not become fully charged.
Once you start charging do not remove the AC adaptor until the
LCD turns off.
