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.
