shooting procedures in Section 2.9.
The power supply controls many functions and components in the 430 series. To determine
if the power supply is functioning properly, start with Procedure 1 and continue with the
other procedures as instructed. The procedures described in this section are:
The AC PS unit converts AC power to DC power and contains a charging circuit which
charges the 430 series batteries. The AC power cord connects to the AC IN socket connector
on the back side of the computer. When the AC power cord is connected to the 430 series
the AC PS unit charges the batteries.
The AC IN icon displays whether or not the AC power cord is connected and supplying
power.
When the AC IN icon is green, the AC power cord is connected and supplying power to the
430 series.
If the AC IN icon does not light, the AC power cord is not supplying power to the 430 series
or the AC power cord is not attached to the 430 series, go to Check 1.
If the AC IN icon is flashing orange, the AC power cord voltage supply is abnormal or the
power supply is not functioning properly, go to Check 2.
If any of the above indicator conditions are abnormal, make sure the icon lights are not
burned out before performing the following checks:
Check 1 Make sure the correct AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC IN socket on
the back of the computer.
Check 2 If the AC IN icon flashes orange when the AC power cord is connected, output
voltage is abnormal. Connect a new AC power cord and turn the 430 series on
again to verify the indicator condition.
Check 3 The battery pack may be malfunctioning. Replace the battery pack with a new
one and turn the computer on again. If the problem still exists, go to Procedure 2.
The Battery icon shows the battery charging status. The Battery icon glows orange when the
AC power cord is charging the battery pack.
If the Battery icon glows green, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is fully
charged.
If the Battery icon glows orange, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is being
charged.
Check 1 Make sure the AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC IN socket and wall
outlet. If these cables are connected correctly, go to Check 2.
Check 2 Make sure the battery pack is installed in the computer correctly. If the battery

Before you begin disassembly, read the following safety precautions and observe them
carefully as you work.
DANGER: 1. Always use the lithium ion battery pack or backup battery that is
authorized by Toshiba or compatible with the unit. Since other battery
packs have different specifications, they may be incompatible with the
unit, and may burst or explode. Heating or disassembling the
battery pack could cause leakage of alkaline solution. Throwing the
battery pack into a fire could cause the battery pack to explode.
2. The power supply, FL inverter, and other components carry high
voltages. To avoid the risk of electric shock when you need to turn on
the power of a partially disassembled computer to check its operation,
be very careful not to touch connectors or components. Also, do not
disassemble individual components during first-level maintenance.
Look over the procedures in this section before you begin disassembling the computer.
Familiarize yourself with the disassembly and reassembly steps. Begin each procedure by
removing the AC cord and the battery pack as instructed in section 4.2, Battery Pack.
3. Make sure the working environment is free from the following elements whether
you are using or storing the computer:
4. Make sure the FRU you are replacing is causing the abnormal operation by
preforming the necessary diagnostics tests described in this manual.
5. Do not perform any unnecessary operations and use only the described procedures
for disassembling and installing FRUs in the computer.
6. After removing parts from the computer, place them in a safe place away from the
computer so they will not be damaged and will not interfere with your work.
7. You will remove and replace many screws when you disassemble the computer.
When you remove screws, make sure they are placed in a safe place and are
identified with the correct parts.
8. When assembling the computer make sure you use the correct screws to secure
the various pieces in place. Screw sizes are listed in the corresponding figures.
9. The computer contains many sharp edges and corners, so be careful not to injure
yourself.
10. After you have replaced an FRU, make sure the computer is functioning properly
by performing the appropriate test on the FRU you have fixed or replaced.
To disconnect a Pressure Plate connector, lift up the tabs on either side of the plastic pressure
plate and slide the cable out of the connector. To connect the cable to a Pressure Plate
connector, make sure the pressure plate is fully lifted and slide the cable into the connector.
Secure the cable in place by pushing the sides of the pressure plate down so the plate is flush
with the sides of the connector. Gently pull on the cable to make sure the cable is secure. If
you pull out the connector, connect it again making sure the pressure plate is fully lifted
when you insert the cable.
Standard pin and flexible cable connectors are used with all other cables. These connectors
can be connected and disconnected by simply pulling them apart or pushing them together.
Assembly Procedures
After you have disassembled the computer and fixed or repaired the problem that was caus-
ing the computer to operate abnormally, you will need to reassemble the computer. While
assembling the computer, remember the following general points:
❑ Take your time, making sure you follow the instructions closely. Most prob-
lems arise when you hurry to assemble the computer.
❑ Before securing the FRU or other parts, make sure that no cables will be
pinched by screws or the FRU.
❑ Make sure all the correct screws are used to secure all FRUs. Using the wrong
screw can damage either the threads on the screw or the head of the screw and
may prevent proper seating of an FRU.
After installing an FRU in the computer confirm that the FRU and the computer are function-
ing properly.
The use of ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) equipment is very important for your safety and the
safety of those around you. Proper use of these devices will increase the success rate of your
repairs and lower the cost for damaged or destroyed parts. The following equipment is
necessary to disassemble and reassemble the computer:
❑ Tweezers, to lift out screws that you cannot grasp with your fingers.
❑ ESD mats for the floor and the table you are working on.
When you fasten screws, be sure to follow the torque list below. Overtightening can damage
components and screws; undertightening can result in electrical shorts or other damage if
screws or components come loose.

The LCD module can be easily damaged during assembly or disassembly. Observe the
following precautions when handling the LCD module.
1. When installing the LCD module in the LCD cover, be sure to seat it so that it is
properly aligned and maximum visibility of the display is maintained.
2. Be careful to align the holes at the four corners of the LCD module with the
corresponding holes in the LCD cover before securing the module with screws. Do
not force the module into place because stress can affect its performance.
Also, the panel’s polarized surface is easily scarred, so be careful when handling it.
If the surface is very dirty, we recommend a CRT cleaning agent. Apply the agent
to a cloth and then wipe the panel’s surface. Do not apply cleanser directly to the
panel.
4. If water or other liquid is left on the panel’s surface for a long period, it can
change the screen’s tint or stain it. Be sure to quickly wipe off any liquid.
5. Glass is used in the panel, so be careful not to drop it or let it strike a hard object,
which could cause breakage or cracks.
7. Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays for long
periods.
8. Do not store the module at temperatures below specifications. Cold can cause the
liquid crystals to freeze, lose their elasticity or otherwise suffer damage.
10. If you transport the module, do not use packing material that contains epoxy resin
(amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxime). These materials can release gas that can
damage the panel's polarization.
