If the AC power light is blinking, try the following steps:
1
Cut off power to the computer by disconnecting the AC adaptor
and removing the battery. The error condition will be
interrupted, and the AC power light will stop flashing.
2
Put the battery back into the computer. Do not connect the AC
adaptor. Try turning the computer on again.
If the computer starts normally, the AC adaptor may be
defective and will need to be replaced (see the Toshiba Web
site at accessories.toshiba.com).
If the AC power light starts flashing, remove the battery, and
continue with the steps below.

If the computer starts normally, the battery may need charging,
may be depleted, or may be defective. Turn the computer on,
insert the battery, and then leave the computer running for
several hours, which will deliver a slow, steady "trickle-
charge" to the battery. Once the battery has been trickle-
charged, it may begin working correctly again.
