Note: Output voltage across pin 2 of the ac power adapter might differ from the one you are servicing.
3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac adapter.
4. If the voltage is acceptable, replace the system board.
Note: Noise from the ac adapter does not always indicate a defect.
Checking operational charging
To check whether the battery charges correctly during operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery
pack that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not turn on, remove the battery
pack and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery pack. If the charge indicator or icon still does
not turn on, replace the battery pack.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the system board. Then reinstall the battery pack. If it is
still not charged, go to the next topic.
Checking the battery pack
The battery status icon in the Windows notification area displays the percentage of battery power remaining.
To check for detailed battery status information, do the following:
• For Windows 7: Open the Power Manager program and click the Battery tab.
• For Windows 8: Open the Lenovo Support program and click Battery Health , or open the Lenovo
Settings program and click Power .
Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able to charge. Remove it from the computer and leave
it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.
To check the battery pack, do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 7 (-). See the
following figure:
