If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately. Wait a few minutes.
If the battery still does not charge, make sure the outlet is supplying power. Plug in an appliance such as a lamp and see if it works. If it doesn't, try another power source.
Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the touch. If the battery is too hot or too cold, it will not charge properly. Let it reach room temperature.
Unplug the AC power cord and remove the battery to make sure the terminals are clean. If necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth dipped in alcohol.
Connect the AC power cord and replace the battery. Make sure it is securely seated.
Check the battery icon. If it does not glow, let the computer charge the battery for at least 10 minutes. If the Battery Icon glows after 10 minutes, let the battery continue charging the battery for at least another 10 minutes before turning on the computer.
If the icon still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life. Replace the battery.
If you do not think the battery is at the end of its operating life, see your dealer.
