OK I just realized he was talking the 110ct and not the 50/70ct on which I was basing my description ... having said that I'd imagine it would be the same though, the insides of all the Toshiba laptops I've seen (including some really old ones) all have some clearly identifiable place to put the RTC battery (not to say its labelled but that it looks like a hollow or a box or something like that molded into the plastic thats just the right size for it). Anything from an expansive Tecra (which has a box for TWO batteries, one is probably a backup to the RTC backup?) to a tight Portege (which simply has a cutout in the circuit board on 2 sides and a plastic barrier on the other 2) have such a position for the RTC battery. If the battery just looks like its sitting on top of a circuit board and free to move around then thats most probably NOT where it belongs. - Raymond ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

Sounds like something more serious is wrong with your libby ... made sure everything that could possibly come loose has been well seated? (dunno about anyone else but that monitor/accupoint cable to motherboard connector looks REALLY flimsy). It could well be that the act of removing and re-inserting the battery pack is enough to move whatever is loose back into line. Next time it happens perhaps try flexing the libby instead of pulling and reinserting the battery pack and see if that works (don't worry, laptop circuit boards, and circuit boards in general, tend to take more punshment than is generally thought, just don't apply CONTINUOUS pressure like having a too-big hard drive under the RAM slots!). >Last time this happened, I pulled the battery WHILE the power cord was still >attached to the unit.

I think those batteries have 2 fuses in them (one is thermal and looks like a diode I think), might be worth opening it up and getting out the multimeter ... - Raymond ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] Battery problem
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2001 16:16:48 -0600 (MDT) From: Tom Dixon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Battery problem My Hi-capacity battery from laptopsforless.com for my 100CT appears to be dead. When the power cord is plugged in, the battery light does not light up. Machine won't boot, etc... The battery was bought new about 4 months ago, and has not been used much. What I think the problem might be: My libby does not always "boot" when I turn on the power. I have to remove the battery, reinsert, and turn on again, and then I see the bios screen, etc.. and it boots. Last time this happened, I pulled the battery WHILE the power cord was still attached to the unit. Could this have zapped the battery, or blown a fuse on that battery? My other battery works fine in the unit. Any help would be appreciated. -tom ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.
