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 DC/DC card.

Checking the Car-Battery Adapter

1. Unplug the Car-Battery Adapter cable from the

computer.

2. Plug the Car-Battery Adapter into the cigarette lighter

socket.

Note: If the adapter is already plugged in, reseat it.

3. Measure the output voltage of the Car-Battery

Adapter cable. See the following figure:

If the voltage is correct, the Car-Battery Adapter
is working correctly. Check that the computer
runs with the AC Adapter. If it runs correctly
with the AC Adapter, check the system board. If
the problem still remains, replace the following
FRUs one at a time.
