Electrical safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
Important:
Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles
covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live
electrical currents.
Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small
conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat
to protect yourself from electrical shock.
v Find theroomemergencypower-off(EPO)switch,disconnectingswitch,or
electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch
or unplug the power cord quickly.
v Do notworkaloneunderhazardousconditionsornearequipmentthathas
hazardous voltages.
v Disconnect allpowerbefore:
– Performing a mechanical inspection
– Working near power supplies
– Removing or installing main units
v Before youstarttoworkonthemachine,unplugthepowercord.Ifyoucannot
unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the
machine, and to lock the wall box in the off position.
v If youneedtoworkonamachinethathasexposed electricalcircuits,observethe
following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.
Attention: Another personmustbetheretoswitchoffthepower,if
necessary.
– Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment;
keep the other hand in your pocket or behind your back.
Attention: An electricalshockcanoccuronlywhenthereisacomplete
circuit. By observing the above rule, you may prevent a current from passing
through your body.
– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe
leads and accessories for that tester.
– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you
from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.
Instructions for these precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance
information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.
v Regularly inspectandmaintainyourelectricalhandtoolsforsafeoperational

Safety inspection guide
The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially
unsafe conditions. As each machine was designed and built, required safety items
were installed to protect users and service personnel from injury. This guide
addresses only those items. Yo u should use good judgment to identify potential
safety hazards due to attachment of non-IdeaPad features or options not covered
by this inspection guide.
If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent
hazard could be and whether you can continue without first correcting the
problem.
Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
v Electrical hazards,especiallyprimarypower(primaryvoltageontheframecan
cause serious or fatal electrical shock)
v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor
v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware
Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be
considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD.) ESD damage can occur when
there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by
equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the person
handling the part are all at the same charge.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire
ground.
– When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an ESD
common ground or reference point. Yo u can use coax or connector-outside
shells on these systems.
– Use the round ground prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.
Grounding requirements
Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct
system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a
certified electrician.

the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option); then,
when service has been completed, verify that those settings remain in effect.
Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive
Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive. This will
cause all customer data on the hard disk to be lost. Be sure that the customer has a
current backup of the data before doing this task.
Attention: The drivestartupsequenceinthecomputeryouareservicingmay
have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying,
saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs can be
overwritten.
Important notice for replacing a system board
Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper
handling of a system board can cause damage to those components, and may
cause a system malfunction.
Attention: When handlingasystemboard:
v Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.
v Avoid rough handling of any kind.
v Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each
BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.
How to use error message
Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one
error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever
causes the first error code may also cause false error codes. If no error code is
displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index
for the computer you are servicing.
This provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM® or a Lenovo solution
from an eSite, and have this configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and
shipped directly to the customer. The machine label, Product Entitlement
Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these products as the 4-digit
MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO).
Custom Model Variant (CMV)
This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM or Lenovo
and the customer. A unique 4-digit MT and 3-digit model is provided to the
customer to place orders (Example: 1829-W15). A CMV is a special bid offering.

Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs
RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic
Equipment Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal requirement
affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS requirements must be
implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market after June 2006. Products
on the market before June 2006 are not required to have RoHS compliant parts.
If the original FRU parts are non compliant, replacement parts can also be non
compliant. In all cases if the original FRU parts are RoHS compliant, the
replacement part must also be RoHS compliant.
Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fit and function are
identified with unique FRU part numbers.
Lenovo plans to transition to RoHS compliance well before the implementation
date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo’s requirements and
schedule in the EU. Products sold in 2005 and 2006, will contain some RoHS

Important notes:
v Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.
v Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing
FRUs.
v When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.
v Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or
formatting. Drives inthecomputerthatyouareservicingsequencemight
have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be
overwritten.
vReplace aFRUonlywithanotherFRUofthecorrectmodel. When you
replace a FRU, make sure that the model of the machine and the FRU part
number are correct by referring to the FRU parts list.
v A FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure.
Single failures can occur for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with
a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or
software errors. Consider replacing a FRU only when a problem recurs. If you
suspect that a FRU is defective, clear the error log and run the test again. If
the error does not recur, do not replace the FRU.

Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not turn
on, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the
battery pack. If the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace the
battery pack.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the system board. Then
reinstall the battery pack. If it is still not charged, go to the next section.
Checking the battery pack
Battery charging does not start until the Power Meter shows that less than 95% of
the total power remains; under this condition the battery pack can charge to 100%
of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or from
having a shortened life.
To check your battery, move your cursor to the Power Meter icon in the icon tray
of the Windows® taskbar and wait for a moment (but do not click), and the
percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get detailed information
about the battery, double-click the Power Meter icon.
Note: If thebatterypackbecomeshot,itmaynotbeabletocharge.Removeit

Restoring the factory contents by using Product Recovery discs
When the hard disk drive (HDD) or system board with a solid state drive (SSD) is
replaced because of a failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new drive. In
this case, you must use the recovery discs for the computer. Order the recovery
discs and the hard disk drive or system board with a solid state drive at the same
time so that you can recover the new drive with the pre-installed software when
they arrive. For information on which discs to order, see “Recovery discs” on page
126.
To install the factory contents by using Product Recovery discs, do the following:
Note: Recovery takesseveralhours.Thelengthoftimedependsonthemethod

As many as three passwords may be needed for any IdeaPad computer: the
hard-disk password (HDP), the supervisor password (SVP), and the user password.
If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen
whenever the computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the
password is entered.
Exception: If only an SVP and a user password are installed, and Password on
boot is set to Disabled, the password prompt does not appear when the operating
available. If it is, it can be used for access to the hard disk drive. If no master HDP
is available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized servicers provide any services
to reset either the user or the master HDP, or to recover data from the hard disk
drive. The hard disk drive can be replaced, for a scheduled fee.
For how to remove the HDP, see “How to remove the hard-disk password.”
Supervisor password
A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the BIOS
Setup Utility. The user enters the SVP to get access to the BIOS Setup Utility and
change the system configuration. It also can be used as a power-on password
(POP), if Password on boot is set to Enabled.
For how to remove the SVP, see “How to remove the supervisor password” on
page 36.
User password
If a user password has been set and Password on boot is set to Enabled, a
password prompt appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned on. The
user password is also used to enter the BIOS Setup Utility, but only a part of the
options can be set. The user password can be set only when the SVP has been set.
For how to remove the user password, see “How to remove the user password” on
page 36.
Power-on password
A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an
unauthorized person. The password must be entered before an operating system
can be booted. The SVP and the user password can be used as the POP, if
Passwordonboot is settoEnabled.

Intermittent problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety of causes that have
nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic
discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a
problem recurs.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
If the diagnostic tests did not identify the adapter or device that has failed, if
wrong devices are installed, or if the system simply is not operating, follow these
procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate FRUs that have no defects).
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating
correctly. (See “Power system checkout” on page 29.)

v “Retaining the UUID”
Restoring the Product Name and the P/N (part number) of the
system unit
When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was
loaded with the Product Name and the P/N (part number) of the system unit.
These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
If you replace the system board, you must restore the Product Name and the P/N
of the system unit to their original values.
