charge when the AC  | begin charging immediately, in these instances you  | 
adaptor is attached.  | 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 its 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 TOSHIBA Support.  |
