ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 Hardware Maintenance Manual

General Descriptions

This chapter includes descriptions for any ThinkPad model that has the PC-Doctor DOS diagnostics program. Some descriptions might not apply to your particular computer.

Introduction Important Service Information

Important

Diskette fixes are customer-installable. The diskette fixes are posted on the IBM support site (http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/).

Advise customers to contact the PC Company HelpCenter at 800-772-2227 if they need assistance in obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.

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

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

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 over-written 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.

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 safety 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.

Do not attempt to lift any 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.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

 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,

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.

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

10 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

– 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 exposed

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.

 Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand

tools for safe operational condition.

 Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.  Never assume that power has been disconnected

from a circuit. First, check that it has been 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 with the power on

when they are removed from their normal operating places in a machine:

– Power supply units

– Pumps

– Blowers and fans

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

– 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.

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.

12 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

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.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

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.

To verify the symptom of the power problem on the computer, do the following:

1. Power off the computer.

2. Remove the battery pack.

3. Connect the AC Adapter.

4. Check that power is supplied when you power on the computer.

5. Power off the computer.

6. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged battery pack.

7. Check that power is supplied by the battery pack when you power on the computer.

If you suspect a power problem, refer the appropriate power supply check listed below:

 “Checking the AC Adapter”  “Checking operational charging” on page 30  “Checking the Battery ASM” on page 30

Checking the AC Adapter: You care here

because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used:

 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 30.

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:

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 29

If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter. If the voltage is within the range, do the following:

 Replace the system board.  If the problems still persist, go to “Undetermined

Problems” on page 44.

Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not

always indicate a defect.

Checking 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.

Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM. If the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace the Battery ASM.

If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the system board. Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the reinstalled Battery ASM is not charged, go to the next section.

Checking the Battery ASM:

Note: The Battery ASM might not be able to charged

when it is hot. In that case, remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall it and recharge it.

Do the following:

1. Power off the computer.

2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (-) and 7 (+). See the following figure.

Pin Voltage (V dc)

1 15.5 V. - 17.0 V. 2 Ground

30 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

Note: Signal lines, not used in these steps, are used

for communications between the system and the battery.

3. First, discharge the battery, until the voltage is less than 9.6V. Then, charge the battery for 30 minutes. Now, check the voltage. If the voltage is still less than

9.6V, replace the battery.

4. If the voltage is more than 9.6V, measure the resistance between battery terminals 1 and 5. The resistance must be 10KΩ. If the resistance is not correct, replace the Battery ASM. If the resistance is correct, replace the system board.

TrackPont or Pointing device

If the TrackPoint does not work, see if

an external PS/2 mouse is connected

to the mouse/keyboard connector and

remove it. The TrackPoint is automat-

ically disabled if an external PS/2

mouse is attached. Check also if the

TrackPoint driver is correctly installed

by accessing Windows Device

Manager via the System icon in the

Control Panel.

After you use the TrackPoint, the

pointer drifts on the screen for a short

time. This self-acting pointer move-

ment can occur when a slight, steady

pressure is applied to the TrackPoint

pointer. This symptom is not a hard-

ware problem. No service actions are

necessary if the pointer movement

stops in a short period of time.

If this does not correct the TrackPoint

problem, continue with the following:

Mouse (Interactive Tests). Hard disk drive Fixed Disks (Diagnostics) CD-ROM drive CD-ROM (Interactive Tests) Memory 1. If a DIMM is installed, remove it

and run Memory Test-Quick (Diagnostics)

2. If the problem does not recur, replace the DIMM and run the test again.

3. If the test does not detect the error, run Memory Test-Full (Diagnostics)

Fan 1. Start Windows 98 and check the

air turbulence at the louver at the rear of the computer.

2. Run the fan test in Other Devices (Diagnostics).

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 does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a nondefective FRU.

This index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs should be available when servicing a computer.

Numeric error codes show the errors detected in POST or system operation (runtime). In the following error codes, X can be any number.

If no codes are available, use narrative symptoms. If the symptom, is not listed, go to “Undetermined

Problems” on page 44. Note: For any IBM device not supported by the diagnostic

codes in this ThinkPad computer, see the manual for that device.

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 only be considered when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing the intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board at least 10 times.

2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.

3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

Undetermined Problems

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 the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU.

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly.

1. Power off the computer.

2. Check the cables, wires, and connectors for short circuits and open circuits. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.

3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:  Non-IBM devices

 Printer, external mouse & keyboard, and other

external devices

 Battery pack

 Hard disk drive  CD-ROM drive/Diskette drive (optional)  PC Card (PCMCIA)

4. Power on the computer.

5. Determine if the problem has changed.

6. If the problem does not occur again, 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.
