circuit. Try to trickle charge the battery by attaching it to the computer with the AC adapter.
4.If the voltage is+11more.0 Vthandc, measure the resistance between the battery terminals 3 and 4.
The resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohms.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery.
If the resistance is correct, replace the DC/DC card.

To check the operational charging, install a fully discharged battery or a battery that is less than 50% charged.
Turn on the computer while it is connected to the AC Adapter. If the battery status indicator does not turn on, turn off the computer, remove the battery, and let the battery return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery, and turn on the computer (still connected to the AC Adapter). If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the battery.
Backup Battery Checkout (Nonrechargeable)
1.Turn off the computer and unplug the AC Adapter from the computer.
2.Open the
3.Remove the backup battery. (Refer to “1010 DIMM Card and Backup Battery” on page 45 to remove the battery.)
4.Measure the voltage of the backup battery connector.
