Battery current value goes over the max 
discharge current.

Check the remaining battery power because this symptom may be 
depended on the remaining battery level, and confirm whether or not 
the symptom is occurred after replacing the battery. If the symptom 
is still occurred, overhaul inspection is needed. Check each output of  
DC-DC converter (IC4701) on the VC-611 (F) /(H) board with the AC 
adaptor connected to DC JACK (J901) on the VC-611 (F) /(H) board.
