Battery doesn’t

charge when the AC

adaptor is attached

(Battery indicator

does not glow amber)

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
Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the

touch. If the battery is too hot or too cold, it will

not charge properly. Make it reach room

temperature.
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,

make the computer charge the battery for at least

20 minutes. If the Battery indicator glows after 20

minutes, let the battery continue to charge for 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.

Battery doesn’t power

the computer as long

as expected

If you frequently recharge a partially charged

battery, the battery might not charge to its full

potential. Fully discharge the battery, then try to

charge it again.
Check the power consumption settings in Power

Management. Consider using a power saving

mode.
