Always save your data even when you are using Sleep
mode. If your battery fully discharges, information that has
not been saved will be lost. Your computer can be
configured to warn you when the battery is running low see
"Setting battery notifications" on page

you do not leave the computer in Sleep mode for long

The AC power light is blinking.
If the AC power light is blinking, try the following steps:
1 Connect the AC adaptor to a different power outlet,
preferably in a different room. If the computer starts
normally, there may be a problem with the AC outlet
itself, or the voltage level available from it.
2 Verify that the AC adaptor is the correct unit for your
computer model. The computer may not be able to start
from an AC adaptor that is rated for less current
(amperage) than the computer requires, even if the rated
voltage is correct, and the plug fits correctly in the DC-IN
socket. The labels on the bottom of the computer and
the AC adaptor show the specifications for voltage ("V")
and current ("A") for each device. The voltage level must
match exactly. The amperage rating of the AC adaptor
must be equal to or greater than that required by the
computer.
The battery light is blinking when the computer is
on.
If the battery light is blinking when the computer is on, this
indicates a power mismatch. Do the following:
1 Check the OUTPUT specifications on the AC adaptor
(for example, DC 19V – 3.95A)
2 Check the INPUT specifications on the bottom of the
computer.
The output specifications of the AC adaptor must match
the input specifications of the computer.
