3. Measure the resistance between battery terminal 5 and 7 (-). The resistance should be 4 to 30 KΩ. If the
resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack.
4. Depending on the voltage that you measure, do one of the following:
• If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, recharge the battery. If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V
dc after recharging, replace the battery pack.
• If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, discharge the battery pack until the voltage becomes less
than +11.0 V dc. Then recharge the battery pack. If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc, replace
the battery pack.
Note: Recharging will take at least three hours, even if the battery status indicator does not turn on.
5. Replace the system board if the new battery pack is not charged.
Checking the backup battery
Do the following:
1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac power adapter from it.
2. Turn the computer upside down.
3. Remove the battery pack (see “1020 Battery pack” on page 63).
4. Remove the backup battery (see “1080 Backup battery” on page 72).
5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following illustration.
Wire Voltage (V dc)
Red +2.5 to +3.2
Black Ground
• If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
• If the voltage is not correct, replace the backup battery.
• If the backup battery discharges quickly after replacement, replace the system board.
