Power and Battery Pack Problems

If the Notebook Turns Off Immediately After It
Turns On
Battery power is probably extremely low. Plug in the AC adapter
or insert a charged battery pack.
If the Notebook Keeps Beeping
The notebook beeps repeatedly or displays a warning when
battery power is low. Save your work, shut down Windows
immediately, and insert a charged battery pack or plug in the
AC adapter.
If the Battery Pack Does Not Charge
Make sure the AC adapter is fully plugged into the
■
power source and the notebook, and that the battery charging
light on the notebook is on.
If you are using a power strip, remove the AC adapter from
■
the power strip and plug it directly into a wall outlet.
Make sure the battery pack is fully installed and locked in
■
place.
Make sure you are using only the AC adapter included with
■
your notebook (or other approved adapter that meets the
power requirements of the notebook). Do not use a 60-watt,
3.16-amp adapter.
Move the notebook away from any nearby heat source.
■
Unplug the AC adapter and allow the battery pack to cool
down. If the battery pack gets too hot, it will not charge
properly.
If available, try another battery pack and AC adapter.
