Overheating power down
If the processor’s temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with 
either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any 
damage - in this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.
AC power
If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected 
you should check the status of the DC IN indicator. Please refer to 
Chapter 6, 
for further information.
Problem
Procedure
Computer shuts down 
and DC IN indicator 
blinks green
Leave the computer off until the DC IN indicator 
stops blinking.
It is recommended to leave the computer off until its interior reaches room 
temperature even though the DC IN indicator stops blinking.
If the computer has reached room temperature 
and it still does not start, or if it starts but shuts 
down quickly, contact your reseller, dealer or 
service provider.

This indicates a problem with the heat dispersal 
system - you should contact your reseller, dealer 
or service provider.
Problem
Procedure
AC adaptor doesn’t 
power the computer 
(DC IN indicator does 
not glow green)
Check the connections to make sure that the 
power cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the 
computer and a working power outlet.
Check the condition of the cord and terminals. 
If the cord is frayed or damaged it should be 
replaced, while if the terminals are soiled, they 
should be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.
If the AC adaptor still does not power the 
computer, you should contact your reseller, 
dealer or service provider.
