damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.

If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected
you should check the status of the

Check the connections to make sure that the

Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If
the cord is frayed or damaged it should be
replaced, while if the terminals are soiled, they
should be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the
computer, you should contact your reseller,
dealer or service provider.
