Is the Notebook Receiving Adequate Power?
If the power indicator light is off and the notebook cannot be
turned on, adequate power may not be available to the notebook.
On some models the power indicator light is the AC adapter light.
On other models the power indicator is the battery light. To
identify the power indicator light on your notebook, refer to your
model-specific documentation.
To make sure adequate power is available to the notebook:
■ If the notebook is running on battery power or is connected
to an external power source other than an electrical outlet,
connect the notebook to an electrical outlet using the
AC adapter. If the notebook turns on when connected to
external power but not when running on a battery pack,
recharge or replace the battery pack.
■ Make sure the power cord and AC adapter cable connections
are secure.
■ Verify that the electrical outlet is providing adequate power
by plugging another electrical device into the outlet.
■ Plug the notebook (through the AC adapter) into an outlet in a
different room and on a different circuit.
When the notebook is receiving adequate power, the power
indicator light (AC adapter light or battery light) turns on.
Is the Notebook Turned On?
The notebook may be in Standby or in Hibernation. To resume
the notebook from Standby or restore from Hibernation:
■ If your model has a power button, briefly press the power
button.
■ If your model has a power switch, briefly slide the power
switch as described in your model-specific documentation.
