3: Unplug your laptops AC adaptor from the laptop and turn it back on. If it does not turn on the battery will already be fully discharged and you can jump to step 6.

6: To recharge the battery you need to reconnect the AC adaptor to the laptop and power supply. The battery indicator light will glow to show the battery is charging.
