Preface
This maintenance manual describes how to perform hardware service maintenance for the Toshiba Personal Computer Libretto 100CT.
The procedures described in this manual are intended to help service technicians isolate faulty Field Replaceable Units (FRUs) and replace them in the field.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important information to your attention. Each of these messages will be italicized and identified as shown below.
DANGER: “Danger” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in death or serious injury if the safety instruction is not observed.
WARNING: “Warning” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in bodily injury if the safety instruction is not observed.
CAUTION: “Caution” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in property damage if the safety instruction is not observed.
NOTE: A Note contains general information that relates to your safe maintenance services.
Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety precautions are adhered to strictly.
Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully fastened, it could loosen and create a short circuit, which could cause overheating, smoke, or fire.
If you replace the battery pack, RTC battery, or backup battery, be sure to use only the same model battery or an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of the wrong battery can cause the battery to explode.

Conventions
This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight terms and operating procedures.
Acronyms
On the first appearance and whenever necessary for clarification, acronyms are enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example:
Read Only Memory (ROM)
Keys
Keys are used in the text to describe many operations. The keytop symbol, as it appears on the keyboard, is printed in boldface type.
Key operation
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify such operations by the keytop symbols separated by a plus (+) sign. For example,Ctrl + Pause (Break) means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same time press Pause (Break). If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.
User input
Text that you are instructed to type in is shown in the boldface type below:

1.8.3 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor that is mounted on the system board. The microprocessor controls whether the charge is on or off and detects a full charge when the Universal AC Adapter and battery are connected to the computer. The system charges the battery using quick charge or trickle charge.
Quick Battery Charge
The battery quick charges when the Universal AC Adapter is connected and the system is powered off or in suspend mode.

If any of the following occurs, the Main Battery quick charge process stops.
1.The Main Battery becomes fully charged.
2.The AC adapter or Main Battery is removed.
3.The Main Battery or output voltage is abnormal.
Trickle Battery Charge
When the main battery is fully charged and the AC adapter is attached, the microprocessor automatically changes quick charge 1 or 2 to trickle charge.
1.8.4 RTC Battery
The RTC battery provides power to keep the current date, time and other setup information in memory while the computer is turned off. Table 1-8 lists the charging time and data preservation period of the RTC battery.
