Troubleshooting
The following suggestions may help you determine why the
computer will not start up:
■ If the computer is plugged into an AC outlet, be sure that
the AC outlet is providing adequate power by plugging
another electrical device into the outlet.
■ If the power light on the front of the computer is blinking
rapidly, replace the AC adapter with one having a higher
power rating, and then plug the adapter into an AC
outlet.
✎
Use only the AC adapter provided with the computer
or one approved for this computer.
■
If the computer is running on battery power or is plugged
into an external power source other than an AC outlet,
plug the computer into an AC outlet using the AC
adapter. Be sure the power cord and AC adapter
connections are secure.
■ If the computer is running on battery power, try the
following procedures in the sequence provided:
❏ If the battery light on the front of the computer is
blinking, the battery has reached a low battery level,
which may not allow the computer to start up. Plug the
computer into an AC outlet using the AC adapter, start
the computer, and allow the battery to charge.
❏ Remove the primary battery and optional accessory
battery (if applicable) and plug the computer into an
AC outlet using the AC adapter. If you can turn the
computer on, one of the batteries may need to be
replaced.
