Problem Possible Cause - Solution
You turned on the power
but it doesn’t work. Battery missing / incorrectly installed. Check the battery bay, make sure the battery is present and
seated properly (the design of the battery only allows it to go in one way). Make sure there’s
nothing interfering with the battery contacts.
The battery LED power
indicator
, is blinking
red.
Low Battery. Plug in the DC power source. If the computer doesn’t start up immediately, turn it off
then on again.
You are losing battery
power too quickly. The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme (see “Power
Schemes” on page 3 - 4 ) check its settings. You may also be using an ExpressCard device that
is drawing a lot of power.
Actual battery operating
time is shorter than
expected. The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the battery is fully
discharged and recharge it completely before reusing (see
“Battery Information” on page 3 -
9 ).
Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-enable the
options.
A peripheral device or Express Card is consuming a lot of power. Turn off the unused device to
save power.
