Note: In rare cases, the problem may be in the AC
adapter even when the voltage is correct. If an AC
adapter is available, try replacing the computer's AC
adapter.
3. If the voltage is correct, replace the top system board.
If this does not correct the problem, go to
"Undetermined Problems" on page 152.

adapter. Power-off the computer, and then
close the lid. Unlock the battery compartment
door located on the bottom of the computer.
Slide the battery out of the compartment.
