Battery Pack Operating Time
This appendix covers the following information concerning battery pack operating time:
Increase battery pack operating time
Conditioning a battery pack
Disposal of a used battery pack
Increasing Battery Pack Operating Time
Battery pack operating time differs depending on several variables. To avoid unnecessary replacement, consider the following variables when determining how long a charged battery pack should last:
Power management settings
Hardware configuration
Software applications
Installed options
Display brightness
Hard drive usage
Changes in operating temperature
Type and number of installed PC Cards
NOTE:
The power consumption requirements for PC Cards vary widely. Some cards drain the battery pack very rapidly.
Battery pack operating time can be increased by as much as 50 percent by controlling the energy required by the computer and the energy stored in the battery pack.
Minimizing the Energy Required
To minimize the energy required by the computer, follow these steps:
1. Set the power conservation levels in the Power Management utility to Maximum.
2. Customize the timeout value to work more efficiently with the applications. The amount of battery life depends on the values selected.

Compaq.com - Compaq Presario 1200 Series Maintenance and Service Guide - Models: 1255, 1257, 1260, 1262, 1266, and 1267
Maximizing the Energy Stored
To maximize the energy stored in the battery pack, follow these guidelines:
Condition the battery pack at least every 30 days to improve overall battery performance.
Keep a battery pack in the computer when using it with AC power to supply the battery pack with a constant
trickle charge.
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use.
Return to the top of this page.
Conditioning a Battery Pack
CAUTION: To avoid a loss of data, ensure that all data is saved before discharging a battery pack.
To condition a battery pack, complete the following steps:
1. Plug in the AC adapter and allow the battery to charge until the LED light on the display stops blinking. Your battery gauge may read 100 percent for a period of time before LED light on the display stops blinking. Do not unplug the AC adapter until the arrow disappears.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and allow the battery to drain until the computer reaches hibernation and turns itself off. Do not plug in the AC adapter during this process or you will need to restart with Step No. 1. You may use the computer while the battery is draining.
3. Your battery is re- conditioned.
4. Plug in the AC adapter and begin using the computer.
The table below shows the approximate battery pack charge times.
Approximate Battery Charge Time
Computer On Line Off Line
NiMH Battery Pack 4.0 hours premature termination 2:00 hrs
Li ion Battery Pack 4.5 hours premature termination 2:50 hrs

Compaq.com - Compaq Presario 1200 Series Maintenance and Service Guide - Models: 1255, 1257, 1260, 1262, 1266, and 1267
Disposal of a Used Battery Pack
In the interest of safeguarding our environment. Compaq Computer Corporation recommends that nickel metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li ion) battery packs be recycled. Battery packs should be handled in accordance with country, state, province, or local regulations.
CAUTION: Never attempt to open or service a battery pack. Opening a battery pack not only damages the pack and makes it unusable, but also expose potentially harmful battery components.

Preliminary Steps
Before running POST, complete the following preliminary steps:
1. If a power-on password has been established, type the password and press the Enter key. If the password is not known,
clear the password.
2. Run Computer Checkup.
3. Turn off the computer and its external devices.
4. Disconnect any external devices that you do not want to test. Do not disconnect the printer if you want to test it or use it to log error messages.
IMPORTANT:
If the problem only occurs when an external device is connected to the computer, the problem may be related to the external device or its cable. Verify this by running POST with and without the external device connected.
5. Install loopback plugs in the serial and parallel connectors if you would like to test these ports.
6. Ensure the hard drive is installed in the computer.
7. Ensure that the battery pack is inserted in the computer and the computer is connected to an external AC power source.
When the preliminary steps are completed, you are ready to run POST.

Electrostatic Discharge
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can
destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic
device exposed to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and will work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although it may function normally for a while, it is possible for the exposed device's internal layers to degrade, reducing its life expectancy considerably.
Networks built into multiple integrated circuits provide some protection,
but in many cases, the discharge can contain enough power to alter device parameters and melt silicon junctions.
Generating Static
This table shows the different electrostatic voltage levels generated by various
activities .
NOTE: 700 volts can degrade a product.

Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the disassembly and re-assembly of the computer.
Tool and Software Requirements
To service the computer, you need the following:
Compaq screwdriver kit (Spare Part No. 161946-001)
Torx T-9 screwdriver
3/16-inch and 5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)
Small, standard screwdriver
Small, Phillips screwdriver
Diagnostics software
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process it can damage the unit.
Compaq strongly recommends that each screw removed during disassembly be kept with the part from which it was removed, then returned to the original location.
IMPORTANT:
As each subassembly is removed from the computer they should be placed away from the work area to prevent damage.

Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the units are ribbon cables; they must be handled with extreme care to
avoid damage.
Use the following precautions when handling cables to avoid damage to the cable or computer:
Apply only the required tension to seat or unseat the cables during insertion and removal from the connector.
Handle cables by the connector whenever possible.
In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that the cables are routed in such a way
that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced.
Handle flex cables with extreme
care; they can tear easily.
CAUTION: When servicing these computers, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location
during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can cause severe damage to the unit.
Select the desired illustration.

Before beginning removal and replacement procedures, complete the following procedures:
1. Disconnect AC power and any external devices.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Remove any PC Cards.
WARNING: Metal objects can damage the battery pack as well as the battery contacts in
the battery compartment. To prevent damage, do not allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts. Place only the battery pack for the Compaq Presario 1200 Series Portable Computers into the battery compartment. Do not force the battery pack into the bay if insertion does not occur easily.
CAUTION: Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not open a battery
pack, as this damages the pack, makes it unusable, and exposes potentially harmful battery components. There are no field-serviceable parts located inside the battery pack.
NOTE:
The Compaq Presario 1200 Series Portable Computers have several screws of various sizes which are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal please keep respective screws with their associated sub-assembly.
