To verify if a battery pack or an ac power adapter is functional, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer.

3. Turn on the computer. If the computer can be turned on, it means that either the battery pack or the ac
power adapter is functional.

still powered on, it means that the ac power adapter is functional.
5. Turn off the computer.
6. Disconnect the ac power adapter and turn on the computer. If the computer can be turned on, it
means that the battery pack is functional.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one of the following power supply checkouts:
•
“Checking the ac power adapter” on page 26
•
“Checking the external battery pack and the operational charging” on page 27

the power cord of the ac power adapter for correct continuity and installation.
• If the computer does not charge during operation, go to “Checking the external battery pack and the
operational charging” on page 27.
