c. Replace the DC/DC card. d. If the problem is not corrected, replace the system board. e. If the problem persists, go to "Undetermined Problems" on page 48. 2. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the ac power outlet and wait 5 minutes or longer to allow the overvoltage protection circuit to be fully discharged and initialized. 3. Plug the AC Adapter cable into the ac power outlet. 4. Measure the output voltage of the AC Adapter. 5. If the voltage is still not correct, replace the AC Adapter. Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defect. Battery Checkout: If the error is due to the battery, do the following: 1. Turn off the computer. 2. Remove the battery and measure the voltage between the battery terminals 1 (+) and 4 (−). Terminal 1 4 Voltage (V dc) / Signal +0 to +13.5 Ground (−) 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 has been discharged. Recharge the battery. If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after recharging, replace the battery. Note: The voltage of the battery could show 0 V because of the overdischarge protection circuit. Try to trickle charge the battery by attaching it to the computer with the AC adapter. 30 IBM ThinkPad 380XD, 385XD
