difficult to determine the cause of a problem. Try disconnecting all of the devices and restarting the computer with all the
peripheral devices unplugged. A process of elimination (adding and removing devices and restarting where necessary) will
often find the source of a problem, although this may be time consuming.

Possible Cause - Solution
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.
Low Battery. Plug in the AC power source. If the computer doesn't start up
immediately, turn it off then on again.
The system is using too much power. If your OS has a Power Options scheme check
its settings. You may also be using a PC Card device that is drawing a lot of power.
The battery has not been fully discharged before being recharged. Make sure the
battery is fully discharged and recharge it completely before reusing.
Power Options have been disabled. Go to the Control Panel in Windows and re-
enable the options.
A peripheral device or PC Card is consuming a lot of power. Turn off the unused
device to save power.
Make sure the computer is properly ventilated and the vents/fan intakes are not
blocked. If this doesn't cool it down, put the system into Hibernate mode or turn it
off for an hour. Make sure the computer isn't sitting on a thermal surface. Make
sure you're using the correct adapter.
Make sure that your notebook is completely powered off before putting it into a
travel bag (or any such container). Putting a notebook which is powered on in a
travel bag may cause the vents/intakes to be blocked.
Possible Cause - Solution
The system is in a power saving mode. Toggle the sleep/resume key combination,
Fn + F4.
The screen controls need to be adjusted. Toggle the screen control key
combinations Fn + F8/F9. If you're connected to an external monitor, make sure it's
plugged in and turned on. You should also check the monitor's own brightness and
contrast controls.
The computer is set for a different display. Toggle the screen display key
combination, Fn + F7. If an external monitor is connected, turn it on.
The screen saver is activated. Press any key or touch the TouchPad.
You haven't installed the video driver and configured it appropriately from the
Control Panel.
