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 light on
the
adapter 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.
