Strategy for replacing FRUs
Before replacing parts
Make sure that all diskette fixes are installed before
replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense
for replacing and servicing FRUs:
you are instructed to replace a FRU but the
replacement 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 replacing one
them does not correct the problem, reinstall that
board, and then replace the other one.
adapter or device consists of more than one FRU,
any of the FRUs may be the cause of the error. Before
replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one
one, to see if the symptoms change. Replace only
the FRU that changed the symptoms.
Attention: The setup configuration on the computer you
are servicing may have been customized. Running
Automatic Configuration may alter the settings. Note the
current configuration settings (using the View Configuration
option); then, when service has been completed, verify that
those settings remain in effect.

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:
Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
Distribute the weight of the object equally between
your feet.
Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or
twist when you attempt to lift.
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
object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects
that you think are too heavy for you.
v
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
hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place,
away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.
Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other
people will not trip over it.
not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the
moving parts of a machine. Make sure that your sleeves
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair
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.
not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or
metal fasteners for your clothing.

and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is
worn or defective.
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the
machine to the customer.
Fan Louvers on the machine help to prevent
overheating of internal components. Do not obstruct fan
louvers or cover them with labels or stickers.
Warning
Handling the cord on this product or cords
associated with accessories sold with this product
will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the
state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects
other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.
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.
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

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: An electrical shock can occur only when
there is a complete circuit. 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.
not use worn or broken tools and testers.
Never assume that power has been disconnected from
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.
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.
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
similar units. (This practice ensures correct
and
grounding of the units.)
electrical accident occurs:
Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
Switch off power.

Safety information
Safety inspection guide
The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each machine
was designed and built, required safety items were
installed to protect users and service personnel from injury.
This guide addresses only those items. You should use
good judgment to identify potential safety hazards due to
attachment of non-IBM features or options not covered by
this inspection guide.
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 a
bulging capacitor
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware
determine whether there are any potentially unsafe
To
conditions, use the following checklist at the beginning of
every service task. Begin the checks with the power off,
and the power cord disconnected.
Checklist:
Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or
sharp edges).
Power-off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
Check the power cord for:
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.
The power cord should be the type specified in the
parts list.
Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
Remove the cover.
4.
Check for any obvious non-IBM alterations. Use good
judgment as to the safety of any non-IBM alterations.
Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe
conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water
other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws
rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.
Handling devices that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge
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
the same charge.
Notes
Use product-specific ESD procedures when they
exceed the requirements noted here.
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,
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.

Safety information
–
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.

incorrect drive, data or programs might be
overwritten.
Replace FRUs only for the correct model.
When you replace a FRU, make sure the model
the machine and the FRU part number are
correct by referring to the FRU parts list.
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. Consider replacing a FRU only
when a problem recurs. If you suspect that a
FRU is defective, clear the error log and run the
test again. If the error does not recur, do not
replace the FRU.

Recovering the hard disk using Access IBM
Predesktop Area
Hard disk of ThinkPad computer you are servicing has a
hidden, protected area for backups. Contained within this
area is a complete backup of the hard disk as it was
shipped from the factory and a program called the Access
IBM Predesktop Area.
You can use the Access IBM Predesktop Area to restore
the contents of the hard disk to an earlier state using any
the backup images stored in the protected area. Access
IBM Predesktop Area runs independently of the Windows
operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing
the blue Access IBM button when prompted during startup.
After the Access IBM Predesktop Area opens you can
perform a recovery operation, even if you are unable to
start Windows.

You can delete the Access IBM Predesktop Area by going
into BIOS (F1 at IBM Splash Screen), and then choosing
Security IBM-> Predesktop Area->Disabled.
This will make the Service Partition area available to
FDISK. If you choose Disabled, the following warning
appears:
Attention! If you select Disabled, the IBM Predesktop
Area will be visible and can be reclaimed by the OS.
Once the area is overwritten by OS tools, it can’t be
used with Normal or Secure and you will need to
obtain a Recovery CD to retrieve original HDD. Please
confirm that you wish to select Disabled.
FDISK will not delete the Access IBM Predesktop Area
unless you do this, because it is not visible. You would
have to use ″bootkil2 /psa″ to completely wipe the drive.
Ordering the recovery CD
When the hard-disk drive is replaced because of a
failure, no Access IBM Predesktop Area is on the
new hard disk. In this case, you must use the
recovery CD for the computer. Order the recovery

Passwords
many as three passwords may be needed for any
ThinkPad computer: the power-on password (POP), the
hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password
(SVP).
any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it
appears on the screen whenever the computer is turned
on. The computer does not start until the password is
entered.
Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password
prompt does not appear when the operating
system is booted.
Power-on password
power-on password (POP) protects the system from
being powered on by an unauthorized person. The
password must be entered before an operating system can
booted.
Hard-disk password
There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs):
User HDP—for the user
Master HDP—for the system administrator, who can use
get access to the hard disk even if the user has
changed the user HDP
There are two modes for the HDP: User only and
Note:
Master + User. The Master + User mode requires
two HDPs; the system administrator enters both in
the same operation. The system administrator then
provides the user HDP to the system user.
Attention: If the user HDP has been forgotten, check
whether a master HDP has been set. If it has, it can be
used for access to the hard-disk drive. If no master HDP is
available, IBM does not provide any services to reset
either the user or the master HDP, or to recover data from
the hard-disk drive. The hard-disk drive can be replaced
for a scheduled fee.
Supervisor password
supervisor password (SVP) protects the system
information stored in the IBM BIOS Setup Utility. The SVP
must be entered in order to get access to the IBM BIOS
Setup Utility and make changes to system configuration
settings.

Checking operational charging
check whether the battery charges properly during
operation, 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
icon does not turn on, remove the battery pack and let it
return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery pack. If
the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace
the battery pack.
the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the
system board. Then reinstall the battery pack. If it is still
not charged, go to the next section.
Checking the battery pack
Battery charging does not start until the Power Meter
shows that less than 95% of the total power remains;
under this condition the battery pack can charge to 100%
its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being
overcharged or from having a shortened life.
check the status of your battery, move your cursor to
the Power Meter icon in the icon tray of the Windows
taskbar and wait for a moment (but do not click), and the
percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get
detailed information about the battery, double-click the
Power Meter icon.
Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able
charge. Remove it from the computer and leave it
room temperature for a while. After it cools down,
reinstall and recharge it.
check the battery pack, do the following:
Power off the computer.
Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
between battery terminals 1 (+) and 5 (−). See the

LCD-related symptoms
Important
The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains
many thin-film transistors (TFTs). The presence of a
small number of dots that are missing, discolored, or
always lighted is characteristic of TFT LCD
technology, but excessive pixel problems can cause
viewing concerns. The LCD should be replaced if
the number of missing, discolored, or lighted dots in
any background is:
XGA: 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more dark dots,
total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.
Note:
bright dot means a pixel is always on
(white or color.) A dark dot means a pixel is
always off (black color.)

Intermittent problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety
causes 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 problem recurs.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
Run the diagnostic test for the system board in loop
mode at least 10 times.
error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by the
FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more errors
exist.
Undetermined problems
the diagnostic tests did not identify the adapter or device
that has failed, if wrong devices are installed, or if the
system simply is not operating, follow these procedures to
isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate FRUs that have no
defects).
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 system
checkout” on page 42.)
Power off the computer.
Visually check each FRU for damage. Replace any
damaged FRU.
Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
Non-IBM devices
Devices attached to the port replicator
Printer, mouse, and other external devices
Battery pack
Hard-disk drive

FRU replacement notices
This section contains notices related to removing and
replacing parts. Read this section carefully before replacing
any FRU.
Screw notices
Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. In the IBM
ThinkPad computer, this problem is addressed with special
nylon-coated screws that have the following characteristics:
They maintain tight connections.
They do not easily come loose, even with shock or
vibration.
They are harder to tighten.
They should be used only once.
the following when you service this machine:
Do
Keep the screw kit (for the P/N, see “Miscellaneous
parts” on page 133) in your tool bag.
Always use new screws.
Use a torque screwdriver if you have one.

Retaining serial numbers
This section includes the following descriptions:
“Restoring the serial number of the system unit”
“Retaining the UUID” on page 71
Restoring the serial number of the system
unit
When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on
the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of
the system and all major components. These numbers
need to remain the same throughout the life of the
computer.
you replace the system board, you must restore the
serial number of the system unit to its original value.
Before replacing the system board, save the original serial
number by doing the following:
Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette
Version 1.69, and restart the computer.
From the main menu, select 1. Set System
Identification.
Select 2. Read S/N data from EEPROM.
The serial number for each device is displayed. Write
down the serial number of the system unit, designated as
follows:
20: System unit serial number
Write down that number.
Note: The serial number of the system unit is written on
the label attached on the bottom of the computer.
After you have replaced the system board, restore the
serial number by doing the following:
Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette
Version 1.69 and restart the computer.
From the main menu, select 1. Set System
Identification.
Select 1. Add S/N data from EEPROM.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

Retaining the UUID
The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit
number uniquely assigned to your computer at production
and stored in the EEPROM of your system board. The
algorithm that generates the number is designed to provide
unique IDs until the year A.D. 3400. No two computers in
the world have the same number.
When you replace the system board, you must set the
UUID on the new system board as follows:
Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette
Version 1.69, and restart the computer.
From the main menu, select 4. Assign UUID.
new UUID is created and written. If a valid UUID
already exists, it is not overwritten.

Removing and replacing a FRU
Removing and replacing a FRU
This section presents directions and drawings for use in
removing and replacing a FRU. Be sure to observe the
following general rules:
not try to service any computer unless you have
been trained and certified. An untrained person runs
the risk of damaging parts.
Before replacing any FRU, review “FRU replacement
notices” on page 69.
Begin by removing any FRUs that have to be removed
before the failing FRU. Any such FRUs are listed at the
top of the page. Remove them in the order in which
they are listed.
Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing
the FRU, as indicated in the drawings by the numbers
square callouts.
When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the
direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing.
When removing the FRU, move it in the direction
indicated by the arrow in the drawing.
put the new FRU in place, reverse the removal
procedure and follow any notes that pertain to
replacement. For information about connecting and
arranging internal cables, see “Locations” on page 108.
When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw as
shown in the procedures.
DANGER
Before
removing any FRU, power off the computer,
unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove
the battery pack, and then disconnect any
interconnecting cables.
Attention: After replacing a FRU, do not turn on the
computer until you have made sure that all screws,
springs, and other small parts are in place and are not
loose inside the computer. Verify this by shaking the
computer gently and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic
parts or metal flakes can cause electrical short circuits.
Attention: The system board is sensitive to, and can be
damaged by, electrostatic discharge. Before touching it,
establish personal grounding by touching a ground point
with one hand or by using an electrostatic discharge (ESD)
strap (P/N 6405959).
