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.
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.
6IBM Mobile Systems HMM
The advanced diagnostic tests are intended to test
only
IBM products. Non-IBM products or modified options can
give false errors and invalid responses.
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
Reserved Size (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
conductors.
Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering,
drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using
solvents, or working in any other conditions that might
be hazardous to your eyes.
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards,
labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device
that is worn or defective.
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the
machine to the customer.
Do not attempt to lift any
Introduction
15
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.
exposed
16IBM Mobile Systems HMM
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
yourself.
– 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
hardware
Introduction
17
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.
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
battery-operated 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.

computer you are servicing.
Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this
section.
Important Notes
Only certified trained personnel should
service the computer.
Read 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 can be written
over.
Replace FRUs only for the correct model.
When you replace the FRU, make sure the
model of the machine and FRU part number are
correct by referring to the parts list.
FRUs should not be replaced because of a
single, un-reproducible failure. Single failures
can occur from 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 only
be considered when a recurring problem exists.
If this is suspected, clear the 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.
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” on page 40.
Port Replicator Problems: If you suspect a
problem with the Port Replicator, see “Port Replicator
Checkout” in the “Common Devices Checkout” section.
How to Diagnose Multiple FRUs: When 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 365X, 365XD (2625)
27
What to Do First: The servicer must include the
following information on 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 is covered by the warranty by
referring to the following:
Warranty Note
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.
LCD panel cracked by excessive force or being
dropped.
Scratched (cosmetic) parts.
Cracked or broken plastic parts, broken latches,
broken pins, or broken connectors caused by
excessive force.
Damage caused by liquid spilled into the system.
Damage caused by improperly inserting a
PCMCIA card or installation of an incompatible
card.
Damage caused by foreign material in the
diskette drive slot.
Diskette drive damage caused by pressing the
diskette drive cover or inserting diskettes with
multiple labels.
Damaged or bent diskette eject button.
CD-ROM drive damage caused by excessive
force, shock, or from being dropped.
Fuses blown by attaching a non-supported
device.
Forgotten computer or hard disk password
(making computer or hard disk unusable).
28IBM Mobile Systems HMM
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 if the HDD is dropped.
I9990303 errors can be caused by exposure to
strong magnetic fields.
How to Disable the Power-On Password:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Open the keyboard and lift the right-most section of
the insulator sheet.
3. Push out the small door on the right side of the base
cover. See page 100 for location.
4. Apply a short across the Power-On Password Jumper
Pads.
Warning: When using a metal tool to short the two
jumper pads, make sure the metal tool does not touch
any metal parts other than the two jumper pads.
5. With the jumper tool in place, power on the computer
to clear the password.
6. Remove the jumper and power off the computer.
7. Power on the computer and verify that the password
has been cleared.
To reactivate the password, set the password again.
Supervisor and Hard Disk Passwords: The
Supervisor Password and the Hard Disk Password (HDP)
are security features that are used to protect the system
and the hard disk data from unauthorized access. No
overriding capability is provided. If only a hard disk
password is set, obtaining permission from the password
owner to unlock the password is a prerequisite for running
diagnostic tests and performing service. If both supervisor
password and hard disk password are set, you can enter
Easy-Setup by pressing the Enter key or power-on
password at the supervisor password prompt. In this case,
the Password, Start up, and Initialize icons cannot be
selected.

System Board and CPU Card Checkout
The processing functions are performed by both the
system board and the CPU card. Processor problems can
be caused by either FRU. However, the CPU card
generally has a lower probability of failure. When a
numeric code calls the system board or the CPU card as a
FRU, or the CPU card is called by a diagnostic test by
showing FRU code 11, use the following procedure to
isolate the problem:
1. Run the system board test to verify the symptom.
This test verifies both the system board and the CPU
card. If no error is detected, return to “Checkout
Guide” on page 30.
2. If FRU code 10 appears, replace the system board
but do not replace the CPU card. Transfer the CPU
card from the old system board to the new system
board.
3. If FRU code 11 appears, reseat the CPU card.
4. Rerun the test to verify the fix.
5. If FRU code 11 remains, replace the CPU card.
If above procedure does not correct the problem, go to
“Undetermined Problems” on page 50.

TrackPoint III Checkout
If the TrackPoint III will not work, check the configuration in
the ThinkPad Features program. If the configuration of the
TrackPoint III is disabled, select Enable to enable it.
If this does not correct the TrackPoint III problem, continue
with the following steps.
The TrackPoint III does automatic compensations to adjust
the pointer sensor. During this process, the pointer moves
on the screen automatically for a short time. This
self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight,
steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint III pointer
while the computer is powered on or while the system is
running, or when re-adjustment is required because the
temperature has exceeded its normal temperature range.
This symptom does not indicate a hardware problem. No
service actions are necessary if the pointer movement
stops in a short period of time.
If a click button problem or pointing stick problem occurs,
do the following:
1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen.
2. Select an item with the pointing stick.
3. Press either the left or right click button.
4. Verify that both buttons work correctly.
If either the pointing stick or the click button do not work,
do the following actions one at a time to correct the
problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
Reseat the keyboard card cables.
Replace the keyboard.
Replace the keyboard card.
Replace the system board.

4. If the controller test runs without errors, the drive
read/write tests start automatically.
5. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 for
FDD-1 or 51 for FDD-2 appears. If the diskette itself
is known to be good, replace the drive.
Status Indicators Checkout
If a status indicator LED problem occurs, do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Power on the computer.
3. All the LEDs in the status indicator panel turn on for a
moment soon after the computer is powered on.
Verify that all indicators turn on correctly.
If some of the indicators do not turn on, replace the LED
indicator card.
If the problem still remains, replace the keyboard card.
Power Systems Checkout
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.
4. Disconnect the AC Adapter, remove the hard disk and
diskette drive, and install the charged battery pack;
then check that power is supplied by the battery pack.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power
supply check listed below.
“Checking the AC Adapter” on page 35.
“Checking Operational Charging” on page 36.
“Checking the Battery Pack” on page 36.
“Checking the Backup Battery” on page 37.
34IBM Mobile Systems HMM
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 a Port
Replicator is used, replace the replicator.
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 Operational Charging” on page 36.
Note
There are two types of adapters. The procedure for
checking both types is the same.
1. 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:

If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
If the problem is not corrected, go to “Undetermined
Problems” on page 50.
If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
2. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the ac power
outlet and wait five minutes or longer to allow the
over-voltage protection circuit to be fully discharged
and initialized.
3. Plug the AC Adapter cable into the ac power outlet.
4. Measure the output voltage of the AC Adapter.
5. If the voltage is still not correct, replace the AC
Adapter.
Note
An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not
always indicate a defective adapter.
ThinkPad 365X, 365XD (2625)35
Checking Operational Charging: To check
operational charging, use a discharged battery pack or a
battery pack that has less than 50% of the total power
remaining when installed in the computer.
Perform operational charging. If the battery status
indicator does not turn on, remove the battery pack and
leave it to return to room temperature. Reinstall the
battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not turn on,
replace the battery pack.
Checking the Battery Pack: Battery charging will
not start until the Fuel-Gauge shows that less than 95% of
the total power remains; with this condition the battery
pack will charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the
battery pack from being overcharged or having a
shortened life.
Do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
between battery terminals 2 (+) and 6 (−). See the
following figure:

3. If the voltage is less than +9.6 V dc, the battery pack
has been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.
If the voltage is still less than +9.6 V dc after
recharging, replace the battery.
Note
If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not
defective.
4. If the voltage is more than +9.6 V dc, measure the
resistance between battery terminals 5 and 6. The
resistance must be 4 K to 30 K ohm.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery
pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system
board.
Checking the Backup Battery
1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC Adapter
from the computer.
2. Open the keyboard and remove the battery pack.
3. Lift the right-hand section of the black insulator sheet.
4. Locate the backup battery on the system board,
shown at 1 .

1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system
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, installed devices are
incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the system is
inoperative. Follow the procedures below to isolate the
failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRUs).
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 Systems
Checkout” on page 34.)

The device ID and error code are used to indicate the
detail portion of the FRU which caused the error. If
replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, see the
device ID or error code from the previous failure. If they
have changed, the cause might be because the new FRU
is defective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.
ThinkPad 365X, 365XD (2625)
55
Device ID: If an error is detected by the diagnostic
tests, a three-digit device ID is displayed. The device ID
indicates the suspected device.
FRU Codes: If an error is detected by the diagnostic
tests, a
four-digit
indicates two suspected FRUs. Replace the FRU that is
indicated by the
FRU indicated by the
assigned to code 00. If only one FRU is suspected, the
other FRU code is filled with zeros. See the referenced
page before replacing the FRU.
If the problem remains after replacement of the FRUs, go
to “Undetermined Problems” on page 50.
Checking the Installed Devices List
If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade
rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen,
the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If
the symptom remains, replace the device or the system
board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly
distinguish the shade of the icon.
If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for
example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when
FDD is installed), do the following:
1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as
the FDD-1.
2. If the problem remains, replace the system board.
The PCMCIA, Parallel, and Serial icons are always
displayed in a dark shade because the icons represent
subsystems of the system board and not the actual
attachment of the devices.
ThinkPad 365X, 365XD (2625)

The FDD-1 icon represents the first drive in the system
configuration. Similarly, the FDD-2 icon represents the
second drive, attached to the external diskette drive
connector or through a Port Replicator.
Password Combinations (POP, HDP,
PAP)
When the power-on password (POP), hard disk password
(HDP), and supervisor password (PAP) are used, the
following situations may occur:
When the POP is the same as the HDP
The POP prompt appears, but the HDP prompt does
not appear.
When the POP is not the same as the HDP
The POP and HDP prompts both appear.
When the PAP and HDP are enabled
When a PAP is used, the HDP is enabled
automatically, but no HDP prompt appears. The HDP
is set to the same password as the PAP.
How to Run a Low-Level Format
Do the following to format the hard disk.
Warning: Make sure the drive address to be formatted is
correct. This procedure will erase all information on the
disk.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Insert the ThinkPad 750Ce hardware maintenancediskette into diskette drive A and power on the
computer.
Note
You can use this maintenance diskette for the
ThinkPad 365X and 365XD computers.
3. Select Format the hard disk from the main menu.
4. Select the drive from the menu.
