Read This First
Before you go to the check procedures, be sure to read
this section.
Important Notes
Only certified trained personnel should service the
computer.
Read the FRU service procedures before replacing
any FRUs.
Be extremely careful during write operations such as
copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the computer
that you are servicing might have been rearranged or
the drive startup sequence might have been altered. If
you select an incorrect drive, data or programs could
be overwritten.
Ensure that you replace FRUs with the appropriate
model. When you replace the FRU, make sure that
the model of the machine and FRU part number are
correct by referring to the part list.
FRUs should not be replaced because of a single,
unreproducible failure. Single failure can occur for a
variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a
hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation,
electrostatic discharge, or software error. FRU
replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists. In this case, clear the error log
and run the test again. Do not replace FRUs if log
errors do not reappear.
Be careful not to replace a non-defective FRU.
How to Use Error Messages
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. The cause of the first
error code can result in the other false error codes being
displayed.
How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs
If the adapter or device has more than one FRU, the error
code could be caused by either FRU. Before replacing
multiple FRUs, try removing or exchanging each FRU one
by one in the designated sequence, to see if the symptoms
change.
ThinkPad i Series 1400

What to Do First
The servicer must include the following in the parts
exchange form or parts return form that is attached to the
returned FRU:
1. Name and phone number of servicer.
2. Date of service.
3. Date when part failed.
4. Date of purchase.
5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on display,
and beep symptoms.
6. Procedure index and page number in which failing
FRU was detected.
7. Failing FRU name and part number.
8. Machine type, model number and serial number.
9. Customer's name and address.
Before checking problems with the computer, determine
whether or not the damage applies to the warranty by
referring to the following:
Note for Warranty: During the warranty period, the customer may be responsible for repair costs if the computer
damage was caused by misuse, accident, modification,
unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by the customer. The following list provides
some common items that are not covered under warranty
and some symptoms that may indicate the system was
subjected to stresses beyond normal use:
The following is not covered under warranty:
LCD panel cracked by applying excessive force or by
broken pins, or broken connectors caused by excessive force.
Damage caused by liquid spilled into the system.

2ThinkPad i Series 1400
If the following symptoms are present, they may indicate
damage caused by non-warranted activity:
Missing parts may be a symptom of unauthorized
service or modification.
HDD spindles can become noisy if subjected to
excessive force or by being dropped.
Screw Notices
The computer uses special nylon-coated screws with the
following characteristics:
They maintain tight connections.
They do not easily come loose, even with shock or
vibration.
They need additional force to tighten.
They should be used only once.
Do the following when you service the machine:
Keep the screw kit (P/N 05K4841) in your tool bag.
Always use new screws if you are instructed.
Use a torque screwdriver if you have one.
Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. The IBM
ThinkPad computer addresses this problem with nyloncoated screws. Tighten screws as follows:
Plastic to plastic
Turn an additional 90 degrees after the screw head
touches the surface of the plastic part.
Logic card to plastic
Turn an additional 180 degrees after the screw head
touches the surface of the logic card.
Torque driver
If you have a torque driver, refer to the "Torque"
column with each step.
Make sure you use the correct screw, and tighten all
screws firmly to the torque shown in the table if you have a
torque screwdriver. Never use a screw that you
removed. Use a new one. Make sure the screws are
tightened firmly.

Power Systems Check
To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the power sources as follows:
1. Remove the battery pack, diskette drive, and hard
disk drive.
2. Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is supplied.
3. Install the diskette drive or hard disk drive one at a
time, and check that power is supplied from each
power source.
If you suspect a power problem, refer to the appropriate
power supply check listed below:
“Checking the AC Adapter”
“Checking the Operational Charging” on page 7
“Checking the Battery Pack” on page 7
Checking the AC Adapter: If the computer fails
only when the AC Adapter is used or if the power-on indicator of the AC Adapter does not turn on, make sure of the
following:
Power cord is not damaged.
Power cord is securely connected to the AC Adapter
and AC power outlet.
If the above confirmation does not solve the problem,
replace the AC Adapter.
If the power-on indicator of the AC Adapter is on, then
proceed to the next step.
1. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and
measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC
Adapter cable.

5. Press Enter and follow the instructions on the screen.
Setting the LCD Panel ID: There is an EEPROM
in the inverter, which store its supported LCD type and ID
code. If you replace the LCD with one of a different brand,
the ID information in the inverter EEPROM should be
updated.
Follow the steps below to set the LCD inverter ID:
1. Boot from the Maintenance Program Diskette.
2. Select Panel ID Diagnostic from PC DOS 7.0 Startup
Menu.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to read the
current ID Code or to set a new inverter ID code.
Note: When you set a new inverter ID and the new
LCD is not yet enabled (to function), connect
an external CRT to see the program execution
process.
Attention: Make sure that the new ID code you
choose corresponds to the LCD brand and type. If
you write a wrong ID into the inverter, just reboot and
re-execute the program and input the correct ID code.
4. Restart the computer — the new LCD should work
normally.
30ThinkPad i Series 1400
Note: If the LCD has no display after changing the ID
code, make sure you write the correct ID code or
try reconnecting the LCD FPC cable connectors.
Setting the Thermal Sensor: The system is
equipped with sensors to protect against system overheating. By setting the system and processor thermal
thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling Fan ASM or
shut down automatically when the temperature reaches the
defined threshold parameters.
System experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown may
need to reset the thermal sensor threshold.
Follow the steps below to set the thermal threshold:
1. Boot from the Maintenance Program Diskette.
2. Select Thermal Sensor Utility from PC DOS 7.0
Startup menu.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to set the
thresholds.
Writing the VPD Data: The EEPROM on the
planar board contains the vital product data (VPD) — that
is, a system unit serial number and a planar board serial
number. When you replace the planar board, restore the
system unit serial number using the VPD Data Utility. The
serial number label is attached to the computer.
