Hardware Maintenance Manual

Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not

light on, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall

the battery pack. If the charge indicator or icon is still off, replace the battery

pack.

If the charge indicator still does not light on, replace the system board. Then

reinstall the battery pack. If it is still not charged, go to the next section.

Checking the battery pack

Battery 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 check 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 it), 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 be charged.

Remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After

it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.
