1.7 Power Supply
The power supply supplies many different voltages to the system board and performs the following functions:
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 ba tt ery capacity.
8. Controls the transmission of the status signal of the main battery.
The power supply output rating is specified in Table 1-8

1 Hardware Overview
1.8.2 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 1-10 lists the charging time required for charges.
Table 1-6 Time required for charges
Battery type Power on (hours) Power off (hours)
Battery (8Cell 47Wh ) about 3.5 to 8.0 About 3.0
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.

Data preservation time
When turning off the power in being charged fully, the preservation time is as following Table 1-11.
Table 1-7 Data preservation time
Condition preservation time
Standby About 4 days (8Cell 47Wh)
Shutdown About 90 days(8Cell 47Wh )
1.8.3 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 1-12 lists the charging time and data preservation period of the RTC battery.

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 err o rs occur when the system configura tion 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 me ssa ge (b) appears often when the power is turned on, replace the RTC battery. If any other error message is dis pla yed, perform Check 2.
