Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the battery test point (see graphic below). If the reading is over 

3.5 volts, go to the next step. If the reading is under 3.5 volts, replace the battery and test again. 

8.

Plug the unit in, but do NOT press the power button. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage from the test 

point marked “12VSLP” (see graphic above). You should get a reading of approximately 12 volts. If the 

reading is 12 volts, go to the next step. If you don’t get a 12 volt reading, go to step 11.

9.

Press the power switch on the computer. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the test point marked 

“12V” (see graphic above). You should get a reading of approximately 12 volts. If the reading is 12 

volts, go to the next step. If you do not get a 12 volt reading, replace the main logic board.

10. Using a voltmeter, check the voltage on the test point marked “5V” (see graphic above). You should get 

a reading of approximately 5 volts. If the reading is 5 volts, go to the next step. If you do not get a 5 volt 

reading, replace the main logic board.
