Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the

battery to make sure the terminals are

clean. If necessary wipe them with a soft dry

cloth dipped in alcohol.
Connect the AC adaptor and replace the

battery. Make sure it is securely seated.

Check the Battery indicator. If it does not

glow, let the computer charge the battery for

at least 20 minutes. If the Battery indicator

glows after 20 minutes, let the battery

continue to charge at least another

20 minutes before turning on the computer.

If the indicator still does not glow, the battery may

be at the end of its operating life. Replace it.
If you do not think the battery is at the end of its

operating life, see your dealer.
