Checking the Battery Pack

1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage

between battery terminals 1 (

+

) and 4 (

). See the

following figure.

Note: Signal lines not used in these steps are used

for communication between the system and
the battery.

3. If the voltage is less than

+

11.0 V dc, the battery pack

has been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.

If the voltage is still less than

+

11.0 V dc after

recharging, replace the battery.

Note: If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is

not defective.

4. If the voltage is more than

+

11.0 V dc, measure the

resistance between battery terminals 3 and 4. The
resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.

If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery
pack.

If the resistance is correct, replace the subcard.

Checking the Backup Battery

1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC Adapter

from the computer.

2. Turn the computer upside down.
