Battery and Power Management
This chapter describes power management and proper battery operating practices for Presario 1200 Series Notebooks. These practices include conservation of AC power and effective control of energy to extend the operating life of the battery. The following Power Mode sections also outline the correct methods of starting and shutting down the Notebook in various situations.

Power Modes

Presario 1200 Series Notebooks have three levels of low power: Hibernation, Standby, and Full Off.

Hibernation

Hibernation mode helps conserve battery life and protect data. The Notebook automatically enters Hibernation when the battery has little power left, or when the Notebook (operating on battery power) is in Standby mode for more than one hour. As the Notebook enters Hibernation, it automatically stores the contents of its memory to the hard drive before shutdown. When the Notebook wakes from Hibernation, it returns to its former state.
Note: When the Notebook enters or wakes from Hibernation mode, a Progress window is displayed.
To activate Hibernation mode, press the Power
To resume from Hibernation mode, press the Power

Standby

Standby is a low-power mode, also referred to as Sleep mode. The Notebook maintains system information and open files while in Standby mode. Selecting Standby instead of turning off the Notebook when your have finished working has two advantages: 1. It allows the Notebook to wake up faster than it would if it had been turned off; 2. It saves more power than the Active-On mode.
CAUTION: Unsaved information is lost if the Notebook is turned off prior to system wake-up, or if a power loss occurs while using the AC adapter.
Ä
Ä
ÄÄ
To activate Standby/Sleep mode, press Fn+F4 or click Start. Select the Shut Down option, and then Standby.
To resume from Stand/Sleep mode, press any key.

Full Off

Full Off mode consumes no power. The battery charges continuously if the battery is installed while the Notebook is in Full Off mode and if the Notebook remains plugged into external AC power.
Note: Unsaved information is lost if the Notebook is turned off without first saving the data.
To activate Full Off mode, complete the following steps:
1. Click the Start button on the Windows taskbar.
2. Click Shut Down, then select Shut Down from the options.
To r es um e f ro m Full Off mode, press the Power button once.
CAUTION: The Notebook must be turned off (Full Off mode) when installing or replacing components. Follow the instructions for putting the Notebook into

Full Off mode. Be sure to unplug the Notebook from the outlet, and remove the battery pack (refer to the removal procedures section: Battery Pack) before servicing any parts.

Power Settings

Power management modes can be initiated based on the amount of time passed since the last system activity. System activity includes keyboard strokes, mouse movement, CD/DVD playback, and modem usage.

Power Schemes

Different patterns of Notebook use determine the level of power management needed. The Power management settings can be selected using several predefined Power Schemes. To access these options, select Power Management on the Control Panel, then click the Power Schemes tab. The default Power Schemes are Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop, and Always On. Power Schemes can also be customized by changing the following options:
System Standby: the length of inactivity before the Notebook goes into Standby mode
Turn Off Monitor: the length of inactivity before the screen times out and goes blank
Turn Off Hard Disks: the length of inactivity before the hard drive goes into low-power mode
Important: The setting for the Hard Disk must be less than or equal to the setting for the System. If the Notebook is on a network, Compaq recommends that System Standby be set to Never.
The following table shows the default settings for each Power Scheme.

Recovering From a Loss of Electrical Power

Loss of electrical power causes the Notebook to turn off automatically. This may cause loss of data because the Microsoft Windows operating system is not able to close all the files and programs properly.
Loss of power may be caused by one of the following:
Interruption of electrical power service
Accidental disconnection of the power cord

If power surges or sags, the display and status lights may flicker, and the Notebook may automatically restart. If an improper shutdown occurs, the Microsoft Windows utility program, ScanDisk, runs automatically once power is restored. ScanDisk determines whether the improper shutdown has caused any errors on the hard disk. These errors may occur if the Microsoft Windows operating system is not able to close all files correctly before the shutdown. If no errors are found, the restart process continues. If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the instructions on the screen to continue the restart process. Work or information that was not saved before the loss of power or shutdown may be lost.
If a power failure occurs, or if the power cord disconnects while the Notebook is turned on, turn it off until normal service is restored. The next time the Notebook is turned on, ScanDisk may run to check the hard disk for errors caused by improper shutdown.

Increasing Battery Pack Operating Time

Battery pack operating life is affected by several variables. To avoid unnecessary replacement, consider the following when determining how long a charged battery pack should last:
Power conservation settings
Hardware configuration
Software applications
Installed options
Display brightness\\Server\projects\Compaq_Port\Portable TimesheetHard drive usage Changes in operating temperatures
Type and number of installed PC cards
Note: Power consumption requirements for PC cards vary widely. Some cards drain the battery pack very rapidly.
Battery pack operating life can be increased by as much as 50 percent by controlling the energy required by the Notebook and the energy stored in the battery pack.

Minimizing the Energy Required

To minimize the energy required by the Notebook, follow these guidelines:
Set the power conservation levels in the Power Management utility to Maximum.
Customize the time-out value to work more efficiently with the applications. The length of battery life depends on the values selected.

Maximizing the Energy Stored

To maximize the energy stored in the battery pack, follow these guidelines:
Condition a Battery Pack at least every 30 days to improve overall battery performance.
Keep a battery pack in the Notebook 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.

Conditioning a Battery Pack

CAUTION: To avoid loss of data, make sure that all information is saved before completely discharging a battery pack.
Ä
Ä
ÄÄ
To condition a battery pack, complete the following steps:
1. Plug in the AC adapter and allow the battery to charge until the fast charge arrow on the status display disappears. The battery gauge may read 100% for a period of time before the arrow disappears.
Note: Do not unplug the AC adapter until the arrow disappears.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and allow the battery to drain until the Notebook enters Hibernation mode. The Notebook can be used normally during this process.
Note: If the AC adapter is connected while the battery is draining, the process must be repeated, beginning with Step 1.
The battery is now reconditioned. Plug in the AC adapter and begin using the Notebook.

Removal Sequence

This chapter describes the removal and replacement process for the Presario 1200XL Series Notebook.

Electrostatic Discharge

When removing or replacing parts, be careful to discharge static electricity before touching the internal Notebook components. 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 that has been exposed to electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not seem to be affected and work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although it may function normally for a period of time, it may have been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

Generating Static

The table below shows the amount of static electricity generated during common activities associated with servicing computers.
Electrostatic Voltage

Tool and Software Requirements

The following items are required to service the Notebook:
Torx T-9 screwdriver
5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs)
Small standard screwdriver
Small Phillips screwdriver
Diagnostics software

Screws

The screws used in the Notebook are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws removed during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it away from the work area to prevent damage.
Note: Compaq Presario 1200XL Series Portable Notebooks have several screws of various sizes that are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal keep respective screws with their associated subassembly.

Connectors and Plastic Parts

Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during disassembly and reassembly. When handling plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the instructions. Most of the connectors in these Notebooks are ZIF Connector
