If Something Goes Wrong

Problems when you turn on the computer

The computer displays the 

WARNING RESUME FAILURE/Windows Error 

Recovery – Windows did not shut down successfully

 message.

To continue, select 

Start Windows normally

. This can happen if 

the computer was put into Sleep mode and the battery has 
discharged. If you performed a shutdown before this message was 
displayed, a program or driver may have prevented Windows

®

 from 

shutting down.

Data stored in the computer’s memory has been lost. Data stored in 
the computer’s internal storage drive may not be affected.

Always save your data even when you are using Sleep mode. If 
your battery fully discharges, information that has not been saved 
will be lost. Your computer can be configured to warn you when the 
battery is running low see 

“What to do when the main battery runs 

low” on page 118

. 

If you are running on battery power, it is recommended that you do 
not leave the computer in Sleep mode for long periods of time.

To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into a live wall 
outlet for several hours. For more information see 

“Charging 

batteries” on page 114

. 

The AC power light is blinking.

If the AC power light is blinking, try the following steps:

1

Cut off power to the computer by disconnecting the AC adaptor 
and removing the battery. The error condition will be 
interrupted, and the AC power light will stop flashing.

2

Put the battery back into the computer. Do not connect the AC 
adaptor. Try turning the computer on again. 

If the computer starts normally, the AC adaptor may be 
defective and will need to be replaced. 

If the AC power light starts flashing, remove the battery, and 
continue with the steps below.

3

Connect the AC adaptor to the computer. Leave the battery out 
of the computer. Try turning the computer on again. 

If the computer starts normally, the battery may need 
charging, may be depleted, or may be defective. Turn the 
computer on, insert the battery, and then leave the computer 
running for several hours, which will deliver a slow, steady 
“trickle-charge” to the battery. Once the battery has been 
trickle-charged, it may begin working correctly again.
