TROUBLESHOOTING

AC adaptor 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 adaptor still does not power the com- puter, contact your dealer.
