Troubleshooting
Power
When the computer is not plugged into an AC outlet, the battery pack is the
primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other power
resources, including intelligent power supply, Real Time Clock battery. These
resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent power
problems. This section provides check lists for AC power and the 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,
check the DC IN indicator. Refer to Chapter 6, Power System, for more
information.
Problem Procedure
AC adaptor doesn't
power the computer
(DC IN indicator does
not glow green).
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.
