To check the battery pack, do the following: 1. Power off the computer. 2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 7 (-). See the following figure: 3 4 5 6(-) 7(-) 2(+) 1(+) Terminal 1 7 Voltage (V dc) + 0 to + 12.6 Ground (-) 3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged. If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after recharging, replace the battery. 4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the resistance between battery terminals 5 and 7. The resistance must be 4 to 30 K Ω. If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system board. 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 65). 4. Remove the backup battery (see "1100 Backup battery" on page 74). 5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure. Wire Red Black Voltage (V dc) +2.5 to +3.2 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. 32 Hardware Maintenance Manual

To check the battery pack, do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 7 (-). See the
following figure:

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged.
If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after recharging, replace the battery.
4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the resistance between battery terminals 5 and 7.
The resistance must be 4 to 30 K Ω. If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the
resistance is correct, replace the system board.
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 65).
4. Remove the backup battery (see “1100 Backup battery” on page 74).
5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.

•
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.
