    Power system checkout
    To verify the symptom of a problem, do the following:
    1. Power off the computer.
    2. Remove the battery pack.
    3. Connect the ac adapter.
    4. Check that power is supplied when you power on the
    computer.
    5. Power off the computer.
    6. Disconnect the ac adapter and install the charged
    battery pack.
    7. Check that the battery pack supplies power when you
    power on the computer.
    If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one
    of the following power supply checkouts:
    v“Checking the ac adapter”on page 29
    v“Checking operational charging”on page 29

    v“Checking the backup battery”on page 31
    v“Checking the sub-battery”on page 31
    Checking the ac adapterYou are here because the computer fails only when the ac
    adapter is used:
    vIf the power problem occurs only when the port
    replicator is used, replace the port replicator.
    vIf the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the
    power cord of the ac adapter for correct continuity and
    installation.
    vIf the computer does not charge during operation, go to
    ″Checking operational charging.″
    1. Unplug the ac adapter cable from the computer.
    2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the ac
    adapter cable. See the following figure:
    Pin Voltage (V dc)
    1 +15.5 to +17.0
    2 Ground
    If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac adapter.
    If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:
    vReplace the system board.
    vIf the problem persists, go to“Product overview”on
    page 35.
    Note:Noise from the ac adapter does not always indicate
    a defect.
    Checking operational chargingTo check operational charging, use a discharged battery
    pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% of the total
    power remaining when installed in the computer.
    Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator
    or icon does not turn on, remove the battery pack and let it
    return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery pack. If
    the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace
    the battery pack.
    If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the
    system board. Then reinstall the battery pack. If the
    reinstalled battery pack has not been charged, go to the
    next section.

    General descriptions29 
    						
    							Checking the battery packBattery charging does not start until the Power Meter
    shows that less than 95% of the total power remains;
    under this condition the battery pack can charge to 100%
    of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being
    overcharged or from having a shortened life.
    To ensure a maximum battery charge continue charging
    the battery for about 30 minutes after the charge indicator
    reaches 100%.
    To check the status of your battery, move your cursor to
    the Power Meter icon in the icon tray of the Windows
    taskbar and wait for a moment (but do not click), and the
    percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get
    detailed information about the battery, double-click the
    Power Meter icon.
    Note:If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able
    to charge. Remove it from the computer and leave it
    at room temperature for a while. After it cools down,
    reinstall and recharge it.
    To check the battery pack, do the following:
    1. Power off the computer.
    2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
    between battery terminals 1 (+) and 5 (). See the
    following figure:
    Terminal Voltage (V dc)
    1 + 0 to + 16.8
    5 Ground ()
    3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack
    has been discharged.
    Note:Recharging will take at least 3 hours, even if the
    indicator does not turn on.
    If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after
    recharging, replace the battery.
    4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the
    resistance between battery terminals 4 and 5. The
    resistance must be 4 to 30 K.
    If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery
    pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system
    board.

    							Checking the backup batteryDo the following:
    1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter
    from it.
    2. Remove the battery pack (for the removal procedure,
    see“1010 Battery pack”on page 56).
    3. Remove the backup battery (for the removal procedure,
    see“1060 Backup battery and sub-battery”on
    page 73).
    4. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the
    following figure.
    Wire Voltage (V dc)
    Red +2.5 to +3.2
    Black Ground
    vIf the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
    vIf the voltage is not correct, replace the backup battery.
    vIf the backup battery discharges quickly after
    replacement, replace the system board.
    Checking the sub-batteryDo the following:
    1. Recharge the sub-battery; it might have been
    discharged.
    2. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter
    from it.
    3. Remove the battery pack (for the removal procedure,
    see“1010 Battery pack”on page 56).
    4. Remove the sub-battery (for the removal procedure,
    see“1060 Backup battery and sub-battery”on
    page 73).
    5. Measure the voltage of the sub-battery. See the
    following figure.
    Wire Voltage (V dc)
    Red +6.0 to +9.0
    Black Ground
    vIf the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
    vIf the voltage is not correct, replace the sub-battery .
    vIf the sub-battery discharges quickly after replacement,
    replace the system board.
