Dispose of damaged batteries according to local ordinances. Review battery handling and disposal instructions in Safety Information in Bulletins/Safety.
Basics Power Information - 16 • Do not leave a battery in the computer for longer than a week without plugging in the power adapter. • Keep the contact cover on the battery when the battery is not in the computer. • Do not leave the battery in hot locations (such as the trunk of a car). • Keep the battery in a cool, dark place; do not store it for longer than 6 months without recharging. • Completely discharge and then recharge the battery once every 90 days.
Basics Power Information - 17 Nickel-Metal-Hydride Batteries The PowerBook 190/5300 Series computers use nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Each battery provides power for up to 4 hours of work time, depending on the system configuration and battery conservation features employed.
Basics PC Card Handling - 18 PC Card Handling Two PC Card slots (formerly PCMCIA) are a feature in the PowerBook 190/5300 Series. The two slots accept a variety of third-party PC Cards. There are three types of PC Cards: Type I (3 mm), Type II (5 mm), and Type III (10.5 mm). Type I and Type II cards fit in either the upper or lower slot of the PC Card unit. Type III cards fit in the lower slot and take up both slots.
Basics PC Card Handling - 19 • Do not insert anything other than a PC Card into the card slots. • The PC Card eject button functions regardless of whether the computer is on or off. • Before ejecting a PC Card, make sure nothing is blocking the slot. To immediately reinsert the card, pull it out an inch or more and then push it back in. • Eject a PC Card using the PCMCIA Eject control panel or the PCMCIA Quick Eject module in the computer's Control Strip.

Tools Use the following tools for taking apart these computers: • #8 Torx driver • 2.
Take Apart Before You Begin - 3 Caution The 190/5300 Series PowerBook computers contain the highest voltage of any PowerBooks. You must remove the battery and unplug the power adapter before performing any take-apart procedure! Time-Saving Tips Use the following information to save time when working on the 190/5300 Series computers. • Ensure that all cables are routed exactly. Use all grooves and/or protrusions to align cabling.
Take Apart Before You Begin - 4 connectors and that the connections are tight. • Take note of the type and location of screws in the computer. A variety of screws are used, and it is easy to confuse the type of screw needed in a particular location. If you need to identify a screw, refer to the screw matrix located in the Basics chapter.
Take Apart Battery - 5 Battery No preliminary steps are required. Caution: The 190/5300 Series PowerBook computers contain the highest voltage of any PowerBook.
Take Apart Battery - 6 1 2 Push the button and slide the latch to the side. Pull the battery out of the computer. Caution: Always install the battery before connecting the power adapter.
Take Apart Floppy Drive - 7 Floppy Drive No preliminary steps are required.
Take Apart Floppy Drive - 8 1 2 Slide the release button to the side. Grasp the floppy drive by the ridged area on the bottom of the drive case and pull the drive from the media bay.
