FRU Replacement Strategy
Before Replacing Parts
Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU replacement and service expense:
If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that
does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue.
Some computers have both a processor board and a
system board. If you are instructed to replace either the processor board or the system board, and the first board that you replaced does not correct the problem, reinstall the original board, then replace the other (processor or system) board.
If an adapter or device consists of more than one
FRU, an error code may be caused by any of the FRUs. Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symp­toms change. Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms.
Introduction
1
Attention
A customized setup configuration (other than default settings) may exist on the computer you are servicing. Running Automatic Configuration may alter those set­tings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option) and verify that the set­tings are in place when service is complete.
Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy:
Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive.
Attention
The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing might have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be over­written if you select an incorrect drive.

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 false error codes being dis­played. If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

How to Read POST Error Messages

POST error messages are displayed on the screen as three, four, five, or eight digits. The error messages that can be displayed as shorter POST messages are high­lighted in this index. Some digits will represent different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.
The following example shows which digits display the shorter POST error messages and also defines the SCSI information in an eight-digit error message.
Shorter POST Messages
┌────┬────┬────┬────┐
│ │ │ │ │ ┌────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┐ │ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ ð│ └────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┘
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
Reserved ││││││Size (SCSI)
└────┴────┘ │ │ Slot Number (SCSI)
ID (SCSI)
All SCSI devices are set to a different SCSI ID. Duplicate SCSI ID settings can generate a false error message. Use the SCSI ID to determine whether the error message is coming from an internal or an external device.

Safety Information

The following section contains the safety information that you need to be familiar with before servicing an IBM mobile computer.

General Safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Observe good housekeeping in the area of the
machines during and after maintenance.
When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back.
objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects that you think are too heavy for you.
Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the
customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.
Before you start the machine, ensure that other
service representatives and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe
place, away from all personnel, while you are ser­vicing the machine.
Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that
other people will not trip over it.
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the
moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing
or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses,
or metal fasteners for your clothing. Attention: Metal objects are good electrical conduc-
tors.
Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering,

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.
Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch,
disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an elec­trical accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or
near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
Disconnect all power before:
– Performing a mechanical inspection – Working near power supplies – Removing or installing main units
Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the
power cord. If you cannot 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.
If you need to work on a machine that has
electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the
power-off controls, is near you. Attention: Another person must be there to
switch off the power, 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: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. 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.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

12 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand
tools for safe operational condition.
Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
Never assume
from a circuit. First, powered-off.
Always look carefully for possible hazards in your
work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.
Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective
surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.
Do not service the following parts
when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:
– Power supply units
– Pumps
– Blowers and fans
– Motor generators and similar units. (This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.)
If an electrical accident occurs:
Use caution; do not become a victim your-
self.
– Switch off power. – Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety Inspection Guide

The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identi­fying potentially unsafe conditions on these products. Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required safety items installed to protect users and service per­sonnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items. However, good judgment should be used to identify poten­tial safety hazards due to attachment of non-IBM 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:
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal elec­trical shock).
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hard-
ware
Introduction
13
The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a checklist. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition.
Use a meter to measure third-wire ground conti­nuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type
as specified in the parts listings.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Remove the cover.
5. Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alter­ations.
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe condi­tions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
7. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.

Handling Electrostatic Discharge-Sensitive Devices

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.
Notes
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you
use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effec­tive.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
Keep the parts in protective packages until they are
inserted into the product.
Avoid contact with other people.Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to
eliminate static on your body.
Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most
clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.
Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide
a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
Select a grounding system, such as those listed
below, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.
Note
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground,
ground braid, or green-wire ground.
– Use an ESD common ground or reference point
when working on a double-insulated or battery­operated system. You 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.

About This Manual
This manual contains service and reference information for the IBM ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700 products. Use this manual along with the advanced diagnostics tests to trou­bleshoot problems effectively.
The manual is divided into sections as follows:
The introduction section provides general information,
guidelines, and safety information required to service computers.
The product-specific section includes service, refer-
ence, and product-specific parts information.
This manual is intended for trained servicers who are familiar with ThinkPad products. Use this manual along with the advanced diagnostics tests to troubleshoot prob­lems effectively.

Read This First

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this section.
Important Notes
Only certified trained personnel should service
the computer.
Read the entire FRU service procedures before
replacing any FRUs.
Use new nylon-coated screws when you replace
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 might be overwritten.
Replace FRUs only for the correct model. When
you replace a FRU, make sure the model of the machine and FRU part number are correct by refer­ring to the FRU parts list.
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. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recur­ring problem exists. If this is suspected, clear the
ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700

error log and run the test again. Do not replace any FRUs if log errors do not reappear.
Be careful not to replace a non-defective FRU.

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 the display, and beep symptoms
6. Procedure index and page number in which the 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 that the system was subjected to stresses beyond normal use:
The following is not covered under warranty:
LCD panel cracked by applying excessive force or
from being dropped
Scratched (cosmetic) partsCracked or broken plastic parts, broken latches,
broken pins, or broken connectors caused by exces­sive force

unusable)
The following symptoms might indicate damage caused by by nonwarranted activities:
Missing parts might be a symptom of unauthorized
service or modification.
HDD spindles can become noisy from being sub-
jected to excessive force or from being dropped.

How to Disable the Password

There are three passwords used at a typical customer site: the Setup password, the HDD password, and the Power On password.
Power On password:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and AC Adapter.
3. Remove the backup battery (RTC) for 20 minutes or use a screwdriver to touch the backup battery (RTC) for 1 second.
4. Put back the backup battery (RTC).
5. Power on the computer and wait until POST ends.
6. Verifty that the password prompt does not appear.
Supervisor and HDD passwords:
The Supervisor password and HDD password (HDD-1 and HDD-2) are security features that are used to protect the system and the hard disk drive data from unauthorized access. No overriding capability is pro­vided, so it cannot be reset if forgotten. If the cus­tomer forgets the Supervisor password, the planar board must be replaced. If the customer forgets the HDD password, the hard disk drive must be replaced.

28 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700
3. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged battery ASM; then check that power is supplied by the battery ASM.
If you suspect a power problem, refer the the appropriate power supply check listed below:
“Checking the AC Adapter”“Checking the Operational Charging”“Checking the Battery ASM” on page 30
Checking the AC Adapter: You are here
because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used:
If the power problem occurs only when the ThinkPad
Port Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature.
If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the
power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation.
If the operational charge does not work, go to
“Checking the Operational Charging.”
Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter cable. See the following figure.
Pin Voltage (V dc)
1 +14.5 to +17.0 2 Ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter. If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
Replace the DC-DC & BATT board.Replace the planar board.If the problem is not corrected, go to “Undetermined
Problems” on page 40
Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not
always indicate a defective adapter.
Checking the Operational Charging: To
check operational charging, use a discharged battery pack (Battery ASM) or a Battery ASM that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700 29
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the Battery ASM. If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the DC-DC & BATT board, then the planar board. Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the reinstalled Battery ASM is not charged, go to the next section.
Checking the Battery ASM: Battery ASM
charging will not start until the Fuel-Gauge shows that less than 95% of the total power remains; with this condition, the Battery ASM can charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the Battery ASM from being overcharged or having a shortened life.
Do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the Battery ASM and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 7(-). See the fol­lowing figure:
Note: Signal lines, not used in these steps, are used
for communications between the system and the battery.
3. If the voltage is less than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V (NiMH), the Battery ASM has been discharged, recharge the Battery ASM. If the voltage is still less than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V (NiMH), replace the battery.
4. If the voltage is more than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V (NiMH), measure the resistance between battery ter­minals 5 and 7. The resistance must be 390 ohm (Li-Ion) or 4 to 3K ohm. If the resistance is not correct, replace the Battery ASM. If the resistance is correct, replace the DC-DC & BATT board then the planar board.

TrackPoint Checkout

If the external mouse is connected, the TrackPoint does not work. In this case, please detach the external mouse to check the TrackPoint.
30 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700
If this does not correct the TrackPoint problem, continue with the following.
After you use the TrackPoint, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops ina short period of time.
If a click button problem or pointing stick problem occurs, do the following:
1. Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the PQA program (please refer to “PQA System Diagnostics” on page 42).
2. Go to Pointing Dev. in the test items.
3. Press F2 in the test items.
4. Follow the instructions in the message window.
If either the pointing stick or the click button does not work, do the following actions one a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
1. Reseat the keyboard cables.
2. Replace the keyboard.
3. Replace the planar board.

A Windows NT or OS/2 user cannot create a hibernation file in a Windows NT or OS/2 system that uses the NTFS/HPFS format system. If you want to use hibernation mode, you should reinstall Windows NT with a FAT format system. Also, if boot manager is installed, the computer cannot enter hibernation mode.
Note: Before using hibernation mode, you need a
hibernation file.
In hibernation mode, the following occurs:
The system status, RAM, VRAM, and setup data are
stored on the hard disk.
The system is powered off.
32 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700
Notes:
1. In the ThinkPad Configuration program, the computer can be set to suspend when docked.
2. The computer cannot enter hibernation mode when it is attached to the ThinkPad Port Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature.
Events that cause the computer to enter hibernation mode:
Hibernation mode requested by function key
(Fn+F12).
Timer conditions are satisfied in suspend mode when
hibernate by timer is enabled.
A critically low battery condition occurs.The power switch is pressed. (BIOS Setup)
The compute exits hibernation mode and resumes opera­tion when the power-on switch is pressed. When power is turned on, the hibernation file in the boot record on the hard disk drive is read and the system status is restored from the hard disk drive.
The following events cause the computer to resume opera­tion from hibernation mode.
The power switch is pressed.The real time clock alarm is signaled.Wake on LAN occurs.
How to Create the Hibernation Function:
follows:
Turn off the computer.Insert the hibernation utility diskette into the diskette
drive (you can create the diskette using the Diskette Factory).
Turn on the computer.Follow the instructions on the screen.
Note: If you change the memory size, you need to
recreate the hibernation file or partition. For partition-based hibernation, use the hibernation utility to delete the partition first before creating a new one.

Symptom-to-FRU Index

The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists the symptoms and errors and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.
Note: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the
sequence shown in the FRU/Action columns. If a FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

Intermittent Problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, electronic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the planar board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by the FRU code.. Rerun the test to verify that no more errors exist.

Undetermined Problems

You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative. Follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power System Checkout” on page 28).
1. Power off the computer.
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices: a. Non-IBM devices
b. Devices attached to the ThinkPad Port
Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature
c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
d. Battery ASM
e. Hard disk drive
f. DIMM
g. CD-ROM and Diskette Drive (FDD ASM) in the
Combobay (UltraBay FX)
h. PC Cards (PCMCIA)
4. Power on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
a. Planar board
b. LCD panel ASM
c. CPU card

CE Utility Program Diskette Setting the LCD Panel ID
There is an EEPROM in the inverter which stores its sup­ported LCD type ID code. If you replace a LCD with one of a different brand or use a new inverter, the ID information in the inverter EEPROM should be updated.
Follow the steps below to set the LCD Panel ID:
1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.
2. Select LCD Panel ID Utility from PC DOS 7.0 Startup Menu.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to read the current or to set a new LCD Panel ID code.
Note: When you set a new LCD Panel ID and the
new LCD is not yet enabled (to function), connect an external CRT to see the program execution process.
Attention: Make sure 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.
Note: If the LCD cannot 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 and execute the Fan ASM test to ensure the normal operation of the cooling Fan ASM (refer to “Fan Diagnostics” on page 46).
Follow the steps below to set the thermal threshold:
1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.
2. Select Thermal Sensor Utility from PC DOS 7.0 Startup menu, then press F4..

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 in the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette. The serial number label is attached to the computer.
ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700 41
Edit the batch file in the diskette A:\active.bat VPD_BUILDID VPD_BOXSERIAL VPD_PLANARSERIAL
