Power and Battery Problems

plug in the AC adapter.
If the battery doesn’t charge
•
Make sure the AC adapter is fully plugged into the power source and the computer,
and that the light on the adapter is on.
•
If you’re using a power strip, remove the AC adapter from the power strip and plug it
directly into a wall outlet.
•
Make sure the battery is fully installed and locked in place.
•
Move the computer away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the AC adapter and
allow the battery to cool down. If the battery gets too hot, it will not charge properly.

If available, try another battery and AC adapter.
