Preface
This maintenance manual describes how to perform hardware service maintenance for the
Toshiba Personal Computer satellite PORTEGE Z830 Satellite Z830 Series Maintenance
Manual (960-883) Series
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 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.

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 key top 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 key top symbols separated by a plus (+) sign. For example, Ctrl + Pause (Break) means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same t i me press Pause (Break). If
three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.

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

1.8.2 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.

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.

NOTE:
1. Before replacing the system board, execute subtest03 “DMI information save”
in 3.3 Setting of the hardware configuration in order to save the DMI
information from system board to floppy disk.
2. After replacing the system board, execute the subtest04 “DMI information
recovery” and subtest08 “System co nfiguration display” in 3.3 Setting of the
hardware configuration in order to copy the DMI information and system
information from the floppy disk.
3. Also update with the latest EC/KBC as described in Appendix H “EC/KBC
Rewrite Procedures”.
4. After replacing the LCD, update with the latest EC/KBC as described in
Appendix H “EC/KBC Rewrite Procedures” to set the SVP parameter.
The implement for the Diagnostics procedu r es is referred to Chapter 3. Also, following
implements are necessary:
1. Phillips screwdrivers (For repl ace ment procedures)
