What to do if you have battery or other power problems

Problem: Nothing happens when I press the FlipStart power button.
Suggested troubleshooting steps:
 Ensure you have charged the battery before trying to use the FlipStart without an AC
adapter.
 Ensure that you have inserted the AC adapter plug into the AC port on the rear of the
computer rather than into the audio jack on the right side of the computer.
 Disconnect and reconnect the battery plate on the bottom of your FlipStart to ensure a
good connection. See Charging the battery before using unplugged (on page 18).
 Check that the AC adapter is firmly connected to the power source and receiving power.
Problem: The battery seems to run down quickly. What can I do to maximize battery life?
Suggested troubleshooting steps:
 Try turning off unused wireless radios and adjusting your power options. For more
information, see Using power management (on page 42).
Problem: The battery is not charging correctly.
Suggested troubleshooting steps:
 Detach and re-attach the battery on the bottom of your FlipStart to ensure a good
connection.
 Ensure that you have inserted the AC adapter plug into the AC port on the rear of the
computer rather than into the audio jack on the right side of the computer.
Warning! Do not disassemble the battery or attempt to repair damage yourself. Doing
so may result in increased risk of fire, explosion, or leakage, which could result in
personal injury or death.
Warning!
There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent battery type as recommended by FlipStart. Labs.
