Checking the Battery ASM
Note: The Battery ASM may not be able to charged when it is hot. In that case, remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall it and recharge it.
Do the following:
1.Power off the computer.
2.Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 6

Note: Signal lines, not used in these steps, are used for communications between the system and the battery.
3.If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged. Note: Recharging will take at least 3 hours, even if the indicator does not turn on. If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after recharging, replace the battery.
4.If the voltage is more than 8V for NiMH, 9V for LiION, measure the resistance between battery terminals 5 and 6. The resistance must be 4 to 30K. If the
