Troubleshooting
Power
When the computer is not plugged into an AC adaptor, the battery pack is
the primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other
power resources, including intelligent power supply and Real Time Clock
battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent
power problems. This section provides check lists for the AC adaptor and
the main battery. If you cannot resolve a problem after following them, the
cause could lie with another power resource. In such case, contact your
dealer.
Overheating power down
If the computer’s internal temperature becomes too high, the computer will
automatically shut down.
AC power
If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected.
Please refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-up Modes for more
information.
Battery
If you suspect a problem with the battery, check the DC IN and the battery
indicator. For information on indicators and battery operation see
Chapter 6, Power and Power-up Modes .
Problem Procedure
AC adaptor doesn’t
power the computer
Check the connections. Make sure the cord is
firmly connected to the computer and a power
outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If
the cord is frayed or damaged, replace it. If the
terminals are soiled, wipe them with cotton or a
clean cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the
computer, contact your dealer.
Problem Procedure

the computer
The battery may be discharged - connect the AC
adaptor to recharge the battery.

If the battery is completely discharged, it will not
begin charging immediately. Wait a few minutes.
If the battery still does not charge, make sure the
outlet is supplying power. Test it by plugging in
an appliance. If it doesn’t work, try another power
source
