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 bodily 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: “Note” contains general information that relates to your safe maintenance
service.
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 come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause overheating,
smoke or fire.
If you replace the battery pack or RTC 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.
Chapter 1 Hardware Overview describes the SATELLITE T210/T215/PRO
T210/T215/PORTEGE T210 MAINTENANCE MANUALL Series system
unit and each FRU.
Chapter 2 Troubleshooting Procedures explains how to diagnose and resolve FRU
problems.
Chapter 3 Test and Diagnostics describes how to perform test and diagnostic operations
for maintenance service.
Chapter 4 Replacement Procedures describes the removal and replacement of the FRUs.
Appendices The appendices describe the following:
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify such operations
by the key top 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.

Hardware Overview
1.4 Batteries
The computer has the following two types of batteries:
Main Battery Pack
Real Time Clock (RTC) Battery
1.4.1 Main Battery
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 when the AC adapter is detached.
1.4.2 Battery Charging Control
Battery charging is controlled by EC KB926. When the AC adapter and battery pack are attached
to the computer, the EC KB926 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.
