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.

If you frequently recharge a partially charged
