Battery and Power Management
This chapter describes power management and proper battery operating practices for Presario 1200
Series Notebooks. These practices include conservation of AC power and effective control of energy
to extend the operating life of the battery. The following Power Mode sections also outline the
correct methods of starting and shutting down the Notebook in various situations.

Power Modes
Presario 1200 Series Notebooks have three levels of low power: Hibernation, Standby, and Full Off.

Hibernation
Hibernation mode helps conserve battery life and protect data. The Notebook automatically enters
Hibernation when the battery has little power left, or when the Notebook (operating on battery
power) is in Standby mode for more than one hour. As the Notebook enters Hibernation, it
automatically stores the contents of its memory to the hard drive before shutdown. When the
Notebook wakes from Hibernation, it returns to its former state.
Note: When the Notebook enters or wakes from Hibernation mode, a Progress window is
displayed.
To activate Hibernation mode, press the Power

Ÿ button once.

To resume from Hibernation mode, press the Power

Ÿ button once.

Standby
Standby is a low-power mode, also referred to as Sleep mode. The Notebook maintains system
information and open files while in Standby mode. Selecting Standby instead of turning off the
Notebook when your have finished working has two advantages: 1. It allows the Notebook to wake
up faster than it would if it had been turned off; 2. It saves more power than the Active-On mode.

Ä

CAUTION: Unsaved information is lost if the Notebook is turned off prior to
system wake-up, or if a power loss occurs while using the AC adapter.

To activate Standby/Sleep mode, press Fn+F4 or click Start. Select the Shut Down option, and
then Standby.
To resume from Stand/Sleep mode, press any key.

Full Off
Full Off mode consumes no power. The battery charges continuously if the battery is installed while
the Notebook is in Full Off mode and if the Notebook remains plugged into external AC power.
Note: Unsaved information is lost if the Notebook is turned off without first saving the
data.

Rebooting After a Lockup
To reboot the Notebook when the keyboard is frozen, or when the screen is locked, press and hold
down the Power Ÿ button for at least four seconds to perform a Manual Shutdown. Then restart the
Notebook with a single press of the Power Ÿ button.

Recovering From a Loss of Electrical Power
Loss of electrical power causes the Notebook to turn off automatically. This may cause loss of data
because the Microsoft Windows operating system is not able to close all the files and programs
properly.
Loss of power may be caused by one of the following:

•

Interruption of electrical power service

•

Accidental disconnection of the power cord

XL312, XL314, XL320, XL323, XL325, XL326, XL327, XL330
If power surges or sags, the display and status lights may flicker, and the Notebook may
automatically restart. If an improper shutdown occurs, the Microsoft Windows utility program,
ScanDisk, runs automatically once power is restored. ScanDisk determines whether the improper
shutdown has caused any errors on the hard disk. These errors may occur if the Microsoft Windows
operating system is not able to close all files correctly before the shutdown. If no errors are found,
the restart process continues. If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the instructions on the screen
to continue the restart process. Work or information that was not saved before the loss of power or
shutdown may be lost.
If a power failure occurs, or if the power cord disconnects while the Notebook is turned on, turn it off
until normal service is restored. The next time the Notebook is turned on, ScanDisk may run to
check the hard disk for errors caused by improper shutdown.

Increasing Battery Pack Operating Time
Battery pack operating life is affected by several variables. To avoid unnecessary replacement,
consider the following when determining how long a charged battery pack should last:

•

Power conservation settings

•

Hardware configuration

•

Software applications

•

Installed options

•

Display brightness\\Server\projects\Compaq_Port\Portable TimesheetHard drive usage

•

Changes in operating temperatures

•

Type and number of installed PC cards
Note: Power consumption requirements for PC cards vary widely. Some cards drain the
battery pack very rapidly.

Battery pack operating life can be increased by as much as 50 percent by controlling the energy
required by the Notebook and the energy stored in the battery pack.

Minimizing the Energy Required
To minimize the energy required by the Notebook, follow these guidelines:

•

Set the power conservation levels in the Power Management utility to Maximum.

•

Customize the time-out value to work more efficiently with the applications. The length of
battery life depends on the values selected.

Maximizing the Energy Stored
To maximize the energy stored in the battery pack, follow these guidelines:

•

Condition a Battery Pack at least every 30 days to improve overall battery performance.

•

Keep a battery pack in the Notebook when using it with AC power to supply the battery pack
with a constant trickle charge.

•

Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use.

Conditioning a Battery Pack

Ä

CAUTION: To avoid loss of data, make sure that all information is saved before
completely discharging a battery pack.

To condition a battery pack, complete the following steps:
1. Plug in the AC adapter and allow the battery to charge until the fast charge arrow on the
status display disappears. The battery gauge may read 100% for a period of time before the
arrow disappears.
Note: Do not unplug the AC adapter until the arrow disappears.
2. Unplug the AC adapter and allow the battery to drain until the Notebook enters Hibernation
mode. The Notebook can be used normally during this process.
Note: If the AC adapter is connected while the battery is draining, the process must be
repeated, beginning with Step 1.
The battery is now reconditioned. Plug in the AC adapter and begin using the Notebook.

Removal Sequence
This chapter describes the removal and replacement process for the Presario 1200XL Series
Notebook.

Electrostatic Discharge
When removing or replacing parts, be careful to discharge static electricity before touching the
internal Notebook components. A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other
conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry. Often the spark is neither felt nor
heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device that has been exposed to electrostatic discharge
(ESD) may not seem to be affected and work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although it may
function normally for a period of time, it may have been degraded in the internal layers, reducing its
life expectancy.
Networks built into many integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the
discharge contains enough power to alter device parameters or melt silicon junctions.

Screws
The screws used in the Notebook are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used during the
reassembly process, it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that all screws removed
during disassembly be kept with the part that was removed, then returned to their proper locations.
Important: As each subassembly is removed from the Notebook, place it away from the
work area to prevent damage.
Note: Compaq Presario 1200XL Series Portable Notebooks have several screws of
various sizes that are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly to
ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal keep
respective screws with their associated subassembly.

Connectors and Plastic Parts
Plastic parts can be damaged by the use of excessive force during disassembly and reassembly.
When handling plastic parts, use care. Apply pressure only at the points designated in the
instructions. Most of the connectors in these Notebooks are ZIF Connectors.

handling cables to avoid damage to the cable and Notebook:

•

Always handle cables by their connectors.

•

In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, pulling, or tearing cables.

•

Apply only the minimum force required to seat or unseat cables from their connectors.

•

Place the cables in such a manner that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being
removed or replaced.

•

Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.
