The battery recharging
time (for Model B & C
computers) is longer
than expected.
The computer has been working under a heavy load, and the system is allowing the system to
cool to a safe temperature before charging begins. Model B & C computers under a heavy load
(e.g. using applications which require a lot of video processing), while running on battery power,
will take time (3 to 20 minutes before charging begins) to recharge the battery when plugged in to
the AC/DC adapter. This is due to safety considerations which dictate that the battery should only
start to recharge when the computer has reached a safe temperature to do so.
Make sure you save your work when the battery LED is blinking orange, and plug in the AC/DC
adapter. The battery LED will change from blinking orange to orange when the battery starts to
charge (3 to 20 minutes before charging begins).
The computer feels too
hot.
Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the Vent/Fan intakes are not blocked. If this
doesn’t cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it off for an hour. Make sure the
computer isn’t sitting on a thermal surface (see
). Make sure
you’re using the correct adapter.
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a travel bag (or any
such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a travel bag may cause the Vent/Fan
intakes to be blocked.
