Possible Solutions
Check all I/O addresses located within the BIOS setup
utility and any other installed hardware or software to
make sure there are no duplications.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the pres-
ence and condition of the battery. See "Status Indica-
tors" on page 14. Install a charged battery or a Power
adapter.
Use the Status Indicator Panel to verify the presence
and condition of the battery. See "Status Indicators" on
page 14. If a battery is indicating a short, remove that
battery and operate from another power source or
replace that battery.
Check the Status Indicator Panel to determine the pres-
ence and condition of the battery. See "Status Indica-
tors" on page 14. Use a Power adapter until the battery
is charged.
Verify that your adapter is connected correctly. See
"Power Sources" on page 29.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for a line
switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC outlet. If
you are using an auto/airline adapter in a car make sure
the ignition switch is in the On or Accessories position.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move the mouse
to restore operation. If that fails, push the Suspend/
Resume button. Check your power management
settings, or close your applications and go to the Power
Savings menu of the setup utility to adjust the timeout
values to better suit your operation needs.
Install a power adapter and then push the Suspend/
Resume button. See "Power Sources" on page 29.
Verify the condition of the battery using the Status
Indicator panel, and replace or remove any battery that
is shorted. See "Status Indicators" on page 14.
Make sure the adapter is plugged in and the outlet has
power.
Replace the battery with a charged one or install a
Power adapter.
