Checking the Status of the Computer

The computer's main status lights, located on the front of the computer, report power status, battery
status, and drive activity
The keyboard status lights, located above the keyboard, indicate the states of the keyboard locks.
In addition, the battery module has five lights on its back (flat) side that indicate its charge level. To
see these lights, you must remove the battery and press the pad next to the lights. The number of lights
that turn on indicates the charge.
