Portable PLUS Computer Removal and Replacement 6-3
3. Disconnect the battery by moving the battery jumper to its OFF position (figure 6-3).
Figure 6-3. Moving the Battery Jumper to Off
CAUTION
Turn the computer upside down before disconnecting the battery straps. If you don't do this,
metal filings may fall onto the motherboard PCA and cause intermittent shorts.
4. Turn the unit over. Remove the two flanged hex nuts and disengage the connector straps from the
battery's threaded terminal studs. (You might need to use tweezers for this.) Be careful to bend
the battery terminal straps just enough to clear the terminal studs to avoid overflexing the straps.
Remove any metal filings with a vacuum or a piece of tape.
