    Battery Not Charging or Not Recognized
    * Shut down the system
    * Remove the AC adapter connection and battery from the PC
    * Hold down the AlienHead power button for 10 seconds
    * Place the battery back into the system and plug in the AC Adapter
    * Turn on the system and enter Windows. The battery should be recognized now and charging. If the battery is recognized but not charging, toggle FN+F2 until it shows that the battery charging is enabled. Verify this by checking the status bar that the battery is charging
