1.7 Batteries
The computer has the following 2 types of batteries:
Main Battery Pack
Real Time Clock (RTC) Battery
Table 1-4 lists the specifications of these batteries.
The main battery pack serves as the computer's main power source when the AC adapter
is not attached. The main battery maintains the state of the computer so that it can
resume it.
1.7.2 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by WINBOND NPCE781L. When AC adapter and battery
pack are attached to the computer, the NPCE781L controls the charge on/off state and
detects a full charge.
Battery Charge
When the AC adapter is attached, the battery is charged by off-state charge when the
system is powered off or by on-state charge when it is powered on.
Table 1-5 Quick/Normal Charging Time
State Charge Time
Off-State Charge 3/6/12 Cell About 4 hours max
On-State Charge 3/6/12 Cell About 4~10 hours max
NOTE: The time required for normal charge depends on the power consumption by the
system. Using the fluorescent lamp and frequently accessing the disk consume much
power and lengthen the charge time.
A full charge is detected only when the battery is being charged by quick or normal
charge. A full charge is detected when either of the following conditions is met:
1. The current in the battery charging circuit drops below the predetermined
value.
2. The charging time exceeds the fixed limit.
1.7.3 RTC Battery
The RTC battery provides power to keep the current date, time and other system
information in memory while the computer is turned off.
The basic flowchart in Figure 2-1 serves as a guide for identifying a possibly faulty FRU.
Before going through the diagnostic flowchart steps, verify the following:
Ask the user if a password has been registered and, if so, ask him or her to enter the
password. If the user has forgotten the system password, use a jump wire to make a
short circuit on M/B B500 location, then turn the computer power on. When booted,
the computer overrides password protection and automatically erases the current
password.
Make sure the Windows® 7 Home Edition has been installed on the HDD. Any other
operating system can cause the computer to malfunction.
Make sure any piece of optional equipment has been installed.
If the diagnostic program cannot detect an error, the error may be intermittent. Run the
continuous test program repeatedly to isolate the problem. Check the log utilities function to
confirm which diagnostic test detected the error, then perform the appropriate
troubleshooting procedures as follows:
