battery charge indicator turns off.

Protecting from power source problems

During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into your
notebook can increase to far above normal levels and cause data loss or
system damage. Protect your notebook and peripheral devices by
connecting them to a surge protector, which absorbs voltage surges and
prevents them from reaching your notebook.
Warning
Do not attempt to disassemble the AC adapter. The
AC adapter has no user-replaceable or
user-serviceable parts inside. The AC adapter has
dangerous voltages that can cause serious injury
or death. Contact Gateway about returning
defective AC adapters.
If the battery charge indicator does not turn off after
three hours, contact Gateway Customer Care at
support.gateway.com.
High voltages can enter your notebook through
both the power cord and the modem connection.
To protect your notebook and avoid electrical
shock, use a surge protector. If you have a
telephone modem, use a surge protector that has
a modem jack. If you have a cable modem, use a
surge protector that has an antenna/cable TV jack.
During an electrical storm, unplug both the surge
protector and the modem.
