Troubleshooting
Move the notebook away from any nearby heat source. Unplug the AC adapter and allow the battery pack to cool down. If the battery pack gets too hot, it will not charge properly.
If available, try another battery pack and AC adapter.

If the Notebook Does Not Respond When You Turn It On
Connect the AC adapter.
Reset the notebook by inserting the tip of a paper clip into the reset button on the bottom of the notebook. Then press the power button to turn it on.
If the notebook still does not respond, remove the battery pack and AC adapter, remove any PC Cards, and undock the notebook if docked. Then plug in the AC adapter again, and reset the notebook using the reset button.
If the Notebook Will Not Boot from Battery Power
Make sure the battery pack is properly inserted and fully charged. Check the battery charge by removing it and pressing the pad on the side of the battery pack. The lights show the charge level.
If available, try another battery pack.
