QMy battery charge icon is not accurate or a battery charge does not last as long as I think it should. What should I do?

ATry the following:

Allow the battery to return to room temperature.

Check your power management settings in the Windows Control Panel. See “managing your battery consumption” in chapter 4 for instructions.

Recalibrate the battery. See “recalibrating your battery” in chapter 4 for instructions.

Replace your battery.

QMy notebook won’t turn on. What should I do?

AThere are several simple steps you should try:

Press the Power button on your notebook.

If the battery-related status light blinks quickly when you press the power button, your battery is fully discharged. Connect to AC power and press the power button again.

If you are connected to AC power, check all of the cable connections to be sure that all cables are connected properly. If your notebook still won’t power up, disconnect all cables, reconnect them, and try again.

If you recently replaced or upgraded a component on your notebook, make sure that it was installed correctly.

If you recently replaced or upgraded the memory, make sure that you installed the right module for your model of notebook. Contact eMachines Customer Care to make sure you used the right type of memory module.
