v If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the
resistance between battery terminals 4 and 5. The
resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.
for Nickel metal hydride battery;
v If the voltage is more than +8.0 V dc, measure the
resistance between battery terminals 4 and 5. The
resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery
pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system
board.
