Our research group has bought a malfunctioning Zenith laptop, the old ZWL-183-93 model. It had some obvious faults in the charging circuit, and no battery (but we got it at a REAL good price...). Before we add $105 for a new battery, we'd like to verify that basic function is OK, and that means... we need to know what the voltages should be on the three-wire plug in the battery compartment. Does anyone know the pinout of this battery? We've traced enough wires to give us a rough idea, including polarity, BUT there's that nagging extra wire... what does it do? The connector is three pins, #1 (square) - orange wire #2 (round) - red wire #3 (round) - brown wire, (-) battery terminal and it accepts a ZA-180-45 battery. Thanks; E-mail replies preferred, as this is probably of no interest to most folk. John Whitmore whit@u.washington.edu
