. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter.
. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.
rom Hardware:
. Power off the computer.
. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 6(ground). See the following figure
. If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.
o check the battery charge operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% f the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
f the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. e-install the battery pack.
f the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light p, replace the DC/DC charger board.
chpad Checkf the touchpad doesnt work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a on-defective FRU:
. Reconnect the touchpad cables.
. Replace the touchpad.
. Replace the system board.
fter you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement an occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer.
