Do I need to remove the battery when using my AC Adapter?

It is not necessary to remove the battery when using AC power since the computer provides a "trickle charge" to the battery while on AC power. If, however, you plan to not use your computer at all for several days, it is not a bad idea to remove the battery. Just keep the battery in a cool and dry area.  A “trickle charge” means charging a battery at a similar rate as its self-discharging rate, thus maintaining a full capacity battery.  Most rechargeable batteries have a low rate of self-discharge, meaning they gradually lose their charge even if they are not used in a device

What can I do if my computer does not power on?
If your computer will not power on, below are a few steps you can follow to attempt to correct the issue.
If the computer will not power on:

·       Ensure that the power cord and/or AC adapter are plugged into the computer and that the connection is solid and not loose fitting.
For notebooks or netbooks, verify that the power cord is plugged into the AC adaptor completely.

·       If the power cord or AC adaptor is plugged into a surge protector, verify that the surge protector is powered on.

·       Attempt to use a different electrical outlet.

·       For desktops, check the voltage setting on the power supply (AC Adapters are auto switching).
