The AC adapter and power cable work correctly, but the
battery will not charge
The battery doesn’t charge while the computer is consuming full
power. Try turning off the computer.
The main battery may not be inserted correctly in the computer.
Turn off the computer, remove the battery, clean the contacts
with a soft dry cloth (if necessary) and replace the battery.
The battery may be too hot or too cold to charge properly. Its
temperature needs to be in the range 5 degrees to 50 degrees
Centigrade. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery
reach room temperature and try again.
If the battery has completely discharged, it will not begin charging
immediately. Leave the AC adapter and power cable connected,
wait 20 minutes and see whether the battery is charging.
If the battery light is glowing after 20 minutes, let the computer
continue charging the battery for at least another 20 minutes
before you turn on the computer.
If the battery light does not glow after 20 minutes, the battery
may have reached the end of its useful life. Try replacing it.
The battery appears not to power the computer for as
long as it usually does

operating system Power Management utility. Have you added a
device, such as a PC Card or memory module, that takes its
power from the battery? Is your software using the hard disk
more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was the
battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect
how long the charge lasts.
