■The computer stops and does not proceed to display information or messages.

■A beep sounds, and after a few seconds no new messages appear.

■Random characters appear on the screen, and the system does not function normally.

Turn off the computer and check all cable connections. If the test fails again, contact your dealer.

Power

When the computer is not plugged into an AC adaptor, the battery pack is the primary power source. However, your computer has a number of other power resources, including intelligent power supply and Real Time Clock battery. These resources are interrelated and any one could affect apparent power problems. This section provides check lists for AC adaptor and the main battery. If you cannot resolve a problem after following them, the cause could lie with another power resource. In such case, contact your dealer.

Overheating power down

If the computer’s internal temperature becomes too high, the computer will automatically enter Hibernation or Resume mode and shut down.
