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.
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.

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.

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 part list.
FRUs should not be replaced because of a
single, unreproducible 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 be
considered only 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 nondefective 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” on page 36.
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 380, 385 (2635)

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
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

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 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.”
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:
PinVoltage (V dc)

2Ground
If the voltage is correct, do as follows:
– If the problem is not corrected, replace the
subcard.
– If the problem is not corrected, replace the
system board.
– If the problem is not corrected, go to
“Undetermined Problems” on page 51.
If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
2. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the ac power
outlet and wait 5 minutes or longer to allow the
overvoltage 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.
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
34IBM Mobile Systems HMM
battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not turn on,
replace the battery pack.
Checking the Battery Pack
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
between battery terminals 1 (+) and 4 (−). See the
following figure.
TerminalVoltage (V dc) / Signal

2N/C
3Thermal
4Ground (−)
5Select
6A-Ground
Note: Signal lines not used in these steps are used
for communication between the system and
the battery.
3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack
has been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.
If the voltage is still less than +11.0 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 +11.0 V dc, measure the
resistance between battery terminals 3 and 4. The
resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery
pack.
If the resistance is correct, replace the subcard.

10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or
diskette drive attachment unit.
If the problem remains after the replacement, replace
the system board.
11. If power problems appear only when the replicator is
used, replace the replicator.
External Display Self-Test: If the display problem
occurs only when using an external display, use the
following instruction to correct the problem.
Note: Before you replace a display, check that the 95XX
systems support either 63XX, 85XX, or 95XX
displays to see if it is connected correctly.
If the screen is rolling, replace the external display. If that
does not correct the problem, replace the FRUs in the
following order until the problem goes away:

Diagnostic Error Codes
A detected error is shown as in the following example:
Large X on the left side of the device icon.
Device ID (three digit)
Error code (two digit)
FRU code (four digit)
The device ID and error code are used to indicate the
detail portion of the FRU that 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 detective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.
Device ID: If an error is detected by the diagnostic
tests, a three-digits device ID is displayed. The device ID
indicates suspected device.
FRU Codes: If an error is detected by the diagnostic
tests, a four-digit FRU code is displayed. The FRU code
indicates two suspected FRUs. No FRU is assigned to
code 00. If only one FRU is suspected, the other FRU
code is filled with zeros. Replace the FRU that is indicated
by the two leftmost digits first; then replace the FRU that
is indicated by the two rightmost digits. See the
reference page before replacing the FRU. The suspected
FRU name is also displayed on the screen. The following

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, electrostatic discharge,
or software errors. FRU replacement should be
considered only when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing the intermittent problem, do the following:
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.

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 shades 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
second FDD is installed), do the following:
1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as
an FDD-1.
2. If the problem remains, replace the system board.
The Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in a
dark shade because the icons represent subsystems of the
system board and not the attachment of the devices.
The FDD-1 and PCMCIA-1 icons represent the drive in the
computer. The FDD-2 and PCMCIA-2 icons represent the
devices in the port replicator or that is attached through the
port replicator.

unit serial number, select the option “Set system
identification” on the maintenance diskette. The flash
ROM on the system board contains the vital product
data (VPD)—that is, the system unit serial number,
system board system number, and other
computer-unique data.
2. Do not power off the computer when restoring the
VPD. The system unit serial number label is attached
to the base cover.
3. Before removing and replacing the system board
assembly, make sure that the PCMCIA cards are
removed and the eject levers are not sticking out.
