Note: This information includes references to power adapters
and batteries. In addition to notebook computers, some
products (such as speakers and monitors) ship with
external power adapters. If you have such a product, this
information applies to your product. In addition,
computer products contain a coin-sized internal battery
that provides power to the system clock even when the
computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information
applies to all computer products.
Conditions That Require Immediate Action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some
product damage is serious enough that the product should not
be used again until it has been inspected and, if necessary,
repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the
product when it is turned on. On very rare occasions, you
might notice an odor or see a puff of smoke or sparks vent from
your product. Or you might hear sounds like popping,

an internal electronic component has failed in a safe and
controlled manner. Or, they might indicate a potential safety
issue. However, do not take risks or attempt to diagnose the
situation yourself. Contact the Customer Support Center for
