Power Management for Windows 98
Power Management Settings
Depending on your patterns of computer use, you can set different levels of power management. These different power management levels can be activated based on the amount of time passed since the last system activity. System activity examples include keyboard or mouse movement, CD or DVD playback (while under program control that monitors Sleep), and modem use. You can select different conditions or power schemes through Power Management.The optional settings are Home/Office Desk, Portable/ Laptop, and Always On. From the default settings, you can change the following settings:
q q q
the System goes to Sleep (Standby) mode the screen times out and goes blank the hard drive spins down
Each of these system components goes to sleep after the selected or default periods of inactivity. (The setting for hard drive must be less than, or equal to, the setting for System.)
IMPORTANT:
If you're on a network, it's recommended that you set System Standby to Never.
There are five categories of power management settings under the Control Panel. The default settings for each feature are listed in the following tables:
Power Management Properties

Power Management for Windows 98
Sleep
You can select Sleep mode instead of turning off the computer when you have finished using it. This allows the computer to wake up faster than turning it off and saves power over the active (On) mode. Compaq Presario Notebook computers have two levels of sleep--Hibernation and Sleep. Hibernation - pushing the power button once causes your computer to perform a save to disk followed by a shut down of the computer into Off mode. Sleep - is a low-power mode, also referred to as Standby mode. While in Sleep mode, your computer maintains system information and open files. Unsaved information is lost if you turn off your system before system wake-up, or if you lose power while using the AC adapter. CAUTION: While in Sleep mode, your computer maintains system information and open files. Unsaved information is lost if you turn off your system before system wake-up, or if you lose power while using the AC adapter.

Hibernation Mode
Hibernation helps conserve battery life and protect your data. Hibernation can be a routine power saving event, or can be the result of a low battery condition. As it enters Hibernation, your computer displays a progress screen, as it automatically saves the machine state before it shuts down and turns itself off. Your computer automatically goes into Hibernation when the battery has little power left, or when the system (operating on battery power) has been in Sleep mode for more than an hour. You can also manually initiate Hibernation by pressing the power button once while the system is active. To restore the computer's previous state, simply press the power button once again. While waking up, the computer displays a progress screen. The following table shows the conditions and indicators for getting in and out of the various power management modes--Sleep, Hibernation, and Off.

To Initiate Manual keys combination - Fn+F4 Time Out Default 15 minutes if on Battery power (system will not time out to sleep)

Rebooting After a Lockup
Occasionally you may encounter a frozen keyboard or a locked screen. To reboot your computer (as if from a cold start), press and hold down the Power Button for at least four seconds, which will cause a manual shutdown. Then, restart the computer with a single press of the Power Button. If it still does not recover, press the Power Button and hold it for four seconds to power off the computer. Then, remove the battery or unplug the AC power for at least 30 seconds. Reinsert the battery or reconnect AC power and press the Power Button once to reboot.

Electrostatic Discharge
A sudden discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor can destroy static-sensitive devices or microcircuitry.
q
Often the spark is neither felt nor heard, but damage occurs. An electronic device exposed to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) may not be affected at all and will work perfectly throughout a normal cycle. Although it may function normally for a while, it is possible for the exposed device's internal layers to degrade, reducing its life expectancy considerably. Networks built into multiple integrated circuits provide some protection, but in many cases, the discharge can contain enough power to alter device parameters and melt silicon junctions.
q
Generating Static
This table shows the different electrostatic voltage levels generated by various activities.
NOTE: 700 volts can degrade a product.

Service Considerations
Listed below are some of the considerations that you should keep in mind during the disassembly and re-assembly of the computer.
Tool and Software Requirements
To service the computer, you need the following:
q q q q q q
Compaq screwdriver kit (Spare Part No. 161946-001) Torx T-9 screwdriver 3/16-inch and 5mm nut drivers (for screwlocks and standoffs) Small, standard screwdriver Small, Phillips screwdriver Diagnostics software
Screws
The screws used in the computer are not interchangeable. If an incorrect screw is used during the reassembly process it can damage the unit. Compaq strongly recommends that each screw removed during disassembly be kept with the part from which it was removed, then returned to the original location. As each subassembly is removed from the computer, it should be placed away from the work area to prevent damage.

| Home Page | Notice | Preface | Product Description | Troubleshooting Illustrated Parts Catalog | Removal & Replacement Procedures | Specifications Pin Assignments | Battery Pack Operations
Cables and Connectors
Most cables used throughout the units are ribbon cables; they must be handled with extreme care to avoid damage. Use the following precautions when handling cables to prevent damage to the cable or computer:
q
Apply only the required tension to seat or unseat the cables during insertion and removal from the connector. Handle cables by the connector whenever possible. In all cases, avoid bending, twisting, or tearing the cables, and ensure that the cables are routed in such a way that they cannot be caught or snagged by parts being removed or replaced. Handle flex cables with extreme care; they can tear easily.
q
q
CAUTION: When servicing these computers, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can cause severe damage to the unit.
Select the desired illustration.

| Home Page | Notice | Preface | Product Description | Troubleshooting Illustrated Parts Catalog | Removal & Replacement Procedures | Specifications Pin Assignments | Battery Pack Operations
ZIF Connectors
The computer uses a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector for the keyboard cable to the system board. To remove a cable from a ZIF connector, lift both corners of the ZIF connector and slide simultaneously with constant light force.
CAUTION: A ZIF connector and its attached cable can be easily damaged. Handle only the connector slide when removing or replacing a cable. Never pull or twist on the cable while it is connected.
CAUTION: When servicing this computer, ensure that cables are placed in their proper location during the reassembly process. Improper cable placement can damage the computer. Back to Cables and Connectors.

Before beginning removal and replacement procedures, complete the following procedures:
1. Disconnect AC power and any external devices. 2. Remove the battery pack. 3. Remove any PC Cards. Metal objects can damage the battery pack as well as the battery contacts in the battery compartment. To prevent damage, do not allow metal objects to touch the battery contacts. Place only the battery pack for the Compaq Presario Model 1245 Portable Computer into the battery compartment. Do not force the battery pack into the bay if insertion does not occur easily.
WARNING:
Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack. Do not open a battery pack, as this damages the pack, makes it unusable, and exposes potentially harmful battery components. There are no field-serviceable parts located inside the battery pack.
CAUTION:
NOTE:
The Compaq Presario Model 1245 Portable Computer has several screws of various sizes which are not interchangeable. Care must be taken during reassembly to ensure that the correct screws are used in their correct location. During removal please keep respective screws with their associated subassembly.
