Battery doesn’t 

charge when the AC 

adaptor is attached

If the battery is completely discharged, it will not 

begin charging immediately, in these instances you 

should wait a few minutes before trying again. If the 

battery still does not charge, you should check that 

the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected to is 

supplying power - this can be tested by plugging 

another appliance into it.
Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the touch 

- if so, it will not charge properly and should be 

allowed to reach room temperature before you try 

again.
Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to 

make sure its connecting terminals are clean - if 

necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth lightly 

dipped in alcohol.
Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery, 

taking care to ensure that it is securely seated in the 

computer.
Check the DC IN/Battery indicator - if it does not 

glow, allow the computer to charge the battery for at 

least twenty minutes. If the DC IN/Battery indicator 

starts to glow after this period, allow the battery to 

continue to charge for at least another twenty 

minutes before turning on the computer. However, if 

the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be 

at the end of its operating life and should be 

replaced. However, if you do not believe the battery 

is at the end of its operating life, you should speak 

to your reseller, dealer or service provider.

Battery doesn’t 

power the computer 

as long as expected

If you frequently recharge a partially charged 

battery, the battery might not charge to its full 

potential - in these instances you should fully 

discharge the battery and then attempt to charge it 

again.
Check the Power saver option under Select a 

power plan in the Power Options.
