Possible Solutions
Move the AC cord to a different outlet, check for
a line switch or tripped circuit breaker for the AC
outlet. If you are using an auto/airline adapter in
a car make sure the ignition switch is in the On or
Accessories position.
Try a different Power adapter or install a charged
optional second battery.
Slide your power switch firmly to the Off position,
pause 10 seconds or more and then firmly to the
On position.
Press any button on the keyboard, or move the
mouse to restore operation. If that fails, push the
Suspend/Resume button. Check your power
management settings, or close your applications
and go to the Power Savings menu of the setup
utility to adjust the timeout values to better suit
your operation needs.
Install a power adapter and then push the Suspend/
Resume button. (See Power Sources on page 39 for
more information)

Status Indicator panel, and replace or remove
any batteries that are shorted. (See Status Indicator

has power.
Replace the battery with a charged one or install
