Troubleshooting

Power

When the computer is not plugged into an AC outlet, the battery pack is the 

primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other 

power resources, including intelligent power supply, Real Time Clock 

battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent 

power problems. This section provides check lists for AC power and the 

battery. If you cannot resolve a problem after following them, the cause 

could lie with another power resource. In such case, contact your dealer.

If the computer’s internal temperature becomes too high, the computer will 

automatically  shut down.

If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected, 

check the DC IN indicator. Refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up 

Modes, for more information.

AC adaptor doesn't 

power the computer 

(DC IN indicator does 

not glow green).

Check the connections. Make sure the cord is 

firmly connected to the computer and a power 

outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If 

the cord is frayed or damaged, replace it. If the 

terminals are soiled, wipe them with cotton or a 

clean cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the 

computer, contact your dealer.
