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:

v If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that does

not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU
before you continue.

v 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.

v 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.

Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard
disk drive.

2 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

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.

Drive and Diskette Compatibility Matrix

The following table provides identification information for

3.5-inch drives.

Safety Notices (Multi-lingual Translations)

In this manual, safety notices appear in English with a
page number reference to the appropriate multi-lingual,
translated safety notice found in this section.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

3

The following safety notices are provided in English,
French, German, Italian, and Spanish languages.

Safety Notice 1

Before the computer is powered-on after FRU
replacement, make sure all screws, springs, or other
small parts are in place and are not left loose inside
the computer. Verify this by shaking the computer
and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.

Avant de remettre l’ordinateur sous tension après
remplacement d’une unité en clientèle, vérifiez que
tous les ressorts, vis et autres pièces sont bien en
place et bien fixées. Pour ce faire, secouez l’unité et
assurez-vous qu’aucun bruit suspect ne se produit.
Des pièces métalliques ou des copeaux de métal
pourraient causer un court-circuit.

Bevor nach einem FRU-Austausch der Computer
wieder angeschlossen wird, muβ sichergestellt
werden, daβ keine Schrauben, Federn oder andere
Kleinteile fehlen oder im Gehäuse vergessen
wurden. Der Computer muβ geschüttelt und auf
Klappergeräusche geprüft werden. Metallteile oder

-splitter können Kurzschlüsse erzeugen.

Prima di accendere l’elaboratore dopo che é stata
effettuata la sostituzione di una FRU, accertarsi che
tutte le viti, le molle e tutte le altri parti di piccole
dimensioni siano nella corretta posizione e non
siano sparse all’interno dell’elaboratore. Verificare
ciò scuotendo l’elaboratore e prestando attenzione
ad eventuali rumori; eventuali parti o pezzetti
metallici possono provocare cortocircuiti pericolosi.

Antes de encender el sistema despues de sustituir
una FRU, compruebe que todos los tornillos,
muelles y demás piezas pequeñas se encuentran
en su sitio y no se encuentran sueltas dentro del
sistema. Compruébelo agitando el sistema y
escuchando los posibles ruidos que provocarían.
Las piezas metálicas pueden causar cortocircuitos
eléctricos.

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:

v Observe good housekeeping in the area of the

machines during and after maintenance.

v When lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure that 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. 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.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

11

v Do not perform any action that causes hazard to the

customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

v Before you start the machine, ensure that other service

representatives and the customer’s personnel are not in
a hazardous position.

v Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place,

away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.

v Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other

people will not trip over it.

v 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.

v 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.

v Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or

metal fasteners for your clothing.
Attention: Metal objects are good electrical

conductors.

v 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.

v After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels,

and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is
worn or defective.

v 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.

v 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.

12 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

v Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near

equipment that has hazardous voltages.

v Disconnect all power before:

– Performing a mechanical inspection

– Working near power supplies

– Removing or installing main units

v 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.

v 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.

v Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools

for safe operational condition.

v Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

v Never assume that power has been disconnected from

a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.

v 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.

v 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.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

13

v 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

– Motor generators

and similar units. (This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.)

v 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:

v Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary

voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock).

v Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or

bulging capacitor.

v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing

hardware.

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

14 ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM

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:

v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are

inserted into the product.

v Avoid contact with other people.

v Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to

eliminate static on your body.

v Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most

clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.

v 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.

v 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.

ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

15

– 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.

Read this first

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this
section first.

Important Notes:
v Only certified trained personnel should service the

computer.

v Read the entire FRU service procedures before

replacing any FRUs.

v Use new nylon-coated screws when you replace

FRUs.

v 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.

v Replace FRUs only for the correct model. When you

replace a FRU, make sure that the model of the
machine and FRU part number are correct by referring
