Troubleshooting

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 an intelligent power supply and 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 cases you should 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 adapter connected, 
check the DC IN indicator. Refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes, 
for more information.

AC adapter doesn't 
power the computer 
(DC IN indicator does 
not glow blue).

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 adapter still does not power the 
computer, contact your dealer.
