Procedure
The battery may be discharged. Connect the AC
adaptor to charge the battery.
If the battery is completely discharged, it will not
begin charging at once. Wait a few minutes.
If the battery still does not charge, make sure the
outlet is supplying power. Plug in an appliance
and see if it works. If it doesn't, try another
power source.
Check whether the battery is hot or cold. If the
battery is too hot or too cold, it will not charge
properly. Let it reach room temperature.
Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery
to make sure the terminals are clean. If
necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth
dipped in alcohol.
Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery.
Make sure the battery is securely seated.
If the indicator still does not glow, the battery
may be at the end of its operating life. Replace it.
If you do not think the battery is at the end of its
operating life, see your dealer.
Check the power consumption settings in
TOSHIBA Power Saver Utility. Consider using a
power saving mode.
