Solving Common Problems

Battery Problems

The battery does not charge (Battery Charge indicator does not light amber).
* Make sure that the AC adapter is properly connected.
* Make sure that the battery is not too hot or cold. Allow time for the battery pack to return to room temperature.
* Make sure that the battery pack is installed correctly.
* Make sure that the battery terminals are clean.
The operating time of a fully charged battery becomes shorter.
* If you often partially recharge and discharge, the battery might not be charged to its full potential. Initialize the battery
to solve the problem (see "Initializing the Battery Pack" in Chapter 3 for instructions).
The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not match the actual operating time.
* The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using the computer.
If the actual operating time is much less than the estimated time, initialize the battery (see "Initializing the Battery Pack"
in Chapter 3 for instructions).

The DVD drive cannot read a disc.
