1. Judges that the DC power supply (AC adapter) is connected to the computer.
2. Detects DC output and circuit malfunctions.
3. Controls the battery icon, and DC IN icon.
4. Turns the battery charging system on and off and detects a fully charged battery.
5. Turns the power supply on and off.
6. Provides more accurate detection of a low battery.
7. Calculates the remaining battery capacity.
8. Controls the transmission of the status signal of the main battery.
The power supply output rating is specified in Table 1-7.

1.9 Batteries

The computer has three types of batteries as follows:
Main battery pack
RTC battery
The battery specifications are listed in Table 1-8.

Main battery battery G71C000AJ110 Lithium-Ion 10.8 V 48Wh, 6 cell RTC battery GDM710000041 NiMH 2.4 V 16 mAh
Capacity

1.9.1 Main Battery

The removable main battery pack is the computer’s main power source when the AC adaptor is not attached. The main battery maintains the state of the computer when the computer enters in sleep mode.
Qosmio F60 Series Maintenance Manual (960-796) [CONFIDENTIAL] 1-29
1 Hardware Overview

1.9.2 Battery Charging Control

Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor. The microprocessor controls whether the charge is on or off and detects a full charge when the AC adaptor and battery are attached to the computer. The system charges the battery.
Battery Charge When the AC adaptor is attached, there are two types of charge: When the system is powered
off and when the system is powered on. Table 1-9 lists the charging time required for charges.
Table 1-9 Time required for charges
Battery type Power on (hours) Power off (hours)
Battery(48Wh, 6 cell)
about 3.0 to 10.5
About 2.0
NOTE: The time required when the system is powered on is affected by the amount of
power the system is consuming. Use of the fluorescent lamp and frequent disk access diverts power and lengthens the charge time.
If any of the following occurs, the battery charge process stops.
1. The battery becomes fully charged.
2. The AC adaptor or battery is removed.
3. The battery or output voltage is abnormal.

Check 1 Make sure the AC adapter is firmly plugged into the DC IN jack. Check 2 Make sure the battery pack is properly installed. If it is properly installed, go to
Check 3.
Check 3 The battery pack may be completely discharged. Wait a few minutes to charge the
battery pack while connecting the battery pack and the AC adapter. If the battery pack is still not charged, go to Check 4.
Check 4 The battery’s temperature is too high or low. Leave the battery for a while to adjust
it in the right temperature. If the battery pack is still not charged, go to Check 5.
Check 5 Replace the battery pack with a new one. If the battery pack is still not charged, go
to Procedure 5.

2.3.5 Procedure 5 Replacement Check

The power is supplied to the system board by the AC adapter. If either the AC adapter or the system board was damaged, perform the following Checks.
To disassemble the computer, follow the steps described in Chapter 4, Replacement Procedures.
When AC adapter is connected: Check 1 AC adapter may be faulty. Replace the AC adapter with a new one. If the problem
still occurs, perform Check 2.
Check 2 System board may be faulty. Replace the system board with a new one.
When AC adapter is not connected: (When driving with battery pack)
Check 1 Battery pack may be faulty. Replace it with a new one. If the problem still occurs,
perform Check 2.
Check 2 System board may be faulty. Replace it with a new one.

2.4 System Board Troubleshooting

This section describes how to determine if the system board is malfunctioning or not. Start with Procedure 1 and continue with the other procedures as instructed. The procedures described in this section are:
Procedure 1: Message Check Procedure 2: Debugging Port Check Procedure 3: Diagnostic Test Program Execution Check Procedure 4: Replacement Check
Qosmio F60 Series Maintenance Manual (960-796) [CONFIDENTIAL] 2-23
Troubleshooting Procedures

2.4.1 Procedure 1 Message Check

When the power is turned on, the system performs the Initial Reliability Test (IRT) installed in the BIOS ROM. The IRT tests each IC on the system board and initializes it.
If an error message is shown on the display, perform Check 1. If there is no error message, go to Procedure 2. If MS-DOS or Windows OS is properly loaded, go to Procedure 4.
Check 1 If one of the following error messages is displayed on the screen, press the F1 key
as the message instructs. These errors occur when the system configuration preserved in the RTC memory (CMOS type memory) is not the same as the actual configuration or when the data is lost.
If you press the F1 key as the message instructs, the SETUP screen appears to set the system configuration. If error message (b) appears often when the power is turned on, replace the RTC battery. If any other error message is displayed, perform Check 2.
(a) *** Bad HDD type ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(b) *** Bad RTC battery ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(c) *** Bad configuration ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(d) *** Bad memory size ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(e) *** Bad time function ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(f) *** Bad check sum (CMOS) ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
(g) *** Bad check sum (ROM) ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key ......
Check 2 If the following error message is displayed on the screen, press any key as the
message instructs. The following error message appears when data stored in RAM under the resume function is lost because the battery has become discharged or the system board is damaged. Go to Procedure 3.
WARNING: RESUME FAILURE. PRESS ANY KEY TO CONTINUE.

If any other error message displays, perform Check 3.
Check 3 The IRT checks the system board. When the IRT detects an error, the system stops
or an error message appears. If one of the following error messages (1) through (17), (23) or (24) is displayed,
go to Procedure 4. If error message (18) is displayed, go to the Keyboard Troubleshooting Procedures. If error message (19), (20) or (21) is displayed, go to the HDD Troubleshooting

2.4.2 Procedure 2 Debugging Port Check

Check the D port status by a debug port test. The tool for debug port test is shown below.
Figure 2-2 A set of tool for debug port test
The test procedures are follows:
1. Not a Serial Port model should connect a debug port test cable to connector CN3490
of a system board.
2. Connect the RS-232C Cross-cable to the PC that displays the test results.
4. Boot the computer in DOS mode.
5. Execute GETDPORT.COM in the text menu in CPU REAL mode. (Insert the FD for
starting D port into FDD and input “FD starting drive:>dport”.) The D port status is displayed in the following form;
6. When the D port status is FFFFh (normal status), go to Procedure 4.
