General safety
Follow these rules below to ensure general safety:
Observe a good housekeeping in the area where the machines are put •
during and after the maintenance.
When lifting any heavy object: •
1. Make sure 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 it.
4. Lift it by standing or pushing up with your leg muscles; this action could
avoid the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any
object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you think is too heavy
for you.
Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that •
makes the machine unsafe.
Before you start the machine, make sure that other service representatives •
and the customer are not in a hazardous position.
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, keeping them away •
from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.
Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other people will not trip it •
over.
Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of the •
machine. Make sure 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 the •
nonconductive clip, about 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 may 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.•
Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent the overheating of internal •
components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or cover them with labels or
stickers.
2
Electrical safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipments.
Important:
Use only approved tools and test equipments. Some hand tools have handles
covered with a soft material that does not insulate you when working with live
electrical currents.
Many customers have rubber floor mats near their machines that contain small
conductive fi bers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use such kind of mat
to protect yourself from electrical shock.
Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting the 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 the equipment that •
has hazardous voltages.
Disconnect all power before:•
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:
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages;
instructions for these precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance
information. Be extremely careful when you measure the 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 •
it to make sure that it has been powered off.
Safety information
– Performing a mechanical inspection
– Working near power supplies
– Removing or installing main units
– 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 fl oor strips and machine frames.

Lenovo G560 Hardware Maintenance Manual
Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of •
these hazards are moist fl oors, 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
– Motor generators
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)
If an electrical accident occurs:•
– Caution: do not become a victim yourself.
– Switch off the power.
– Send the victim to get medical aid.

Safety inspection guide
The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potential
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 according to the attachment of non-Lenovo 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 fi rst 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•
To determine whether there are any potential unsafe 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:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Turn 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 the frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the type specifi ed in the parts list.
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Check for any obvious non-Lenovo alterations. Use good judgment as to the
safety of any non-Lenovo alterations.
7. 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.
8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not
been removed or tampered with.

Lenovo G560 Hardware Maintenance Manual
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 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 certifi ed (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 specifi c service requirement.
Note:
The use of a grounding system to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not
necessary.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-
wire ground.
– When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an
ESD common ground or reference point. You can use coax or connectoroutside 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 verifi ed by a
certifi ed electrician.

16
Important service information
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and
servicing FRUs:
If you are instructed to replace a FRU, but the replacement does not solve •
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 of them, and replacing one of them does not
solve the problem, reinstall that board, and then replace the other one.
If an adapter or a 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 by 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 confi guration settings (using the View Confi guration
option); then, when service has been completed, verify that those settings
remain in effect.
Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive
Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive. This
will cause all customer data on the hard disk to be lost. Make sure that the
customer has a current backup of the data before performing this action.
Attention: The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing may
have been changed. Be extremely careful during write operations such as
copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs
can be overwritten.
Important notice for replacing a system board
Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper
handling can cause damage to those components, and may cause a system
malfunction.
Attention: When handling a system board:
Do not drop the system board or apply any excessive force to it.•
Avoid rough handling of any kind.•
Avoid bending the system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at •
each BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.
How to use error message
Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more
than one error code is displayed, begin the diagnosis with the fi rst error code.
Whatever causes the first error code may also cause false error codes. If
no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the
Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

Dynamic Confi gure To Order (CTO)
This provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM® or a Lenovo
solution from an eSite, and have this confi guration sent to fulfi llment, where
it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label, Product
Entitlement Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these
products as the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example:
1829-CTO).
Custom Model Variant (CMV)
This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM or
Lenovo and the customer. A unique 4-digit MT and 3-digit model is provided
to the customer to place orders (Example: 1829-W15). A CMV is a special bid
offering. Therefore, it is NOT generally announced.
The MTM portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, •
where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). The PRODUCT ID portion of
the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CMV model (Example: 1829W15).
The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” •
(Example: 1829-CTO).
eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example: •
1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site).
The HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO model only (Example: •
1829-CTO). Again, CMVs are custom models and are not found in the HMM.
General Announce Variant (GAV)
This is a standard model (fixed configuration). GAVs are announced and
offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the machine label is a 4-digit MT
and 3-digit model, where model = a “fi xed part number”, not “CTO” (Example:
1829-F1U). Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under
the same fi xed model number.
18
FRU identifi cation for CTO, CMV, and GAV products
There are three information resources to identify which FRUs are used to
support CTO, CMV, and GAV products. These sources are PEW, eSupport,
and the HMM.
Using PEW
PEW is the primary source for identifying FRU part numbers and FRU •
descriptions for the key commodities for CTO, CMV and GAV products at
a MT - serial number level. An example of key commodities are hard disk
drives, system boards, microprocessors, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs),
and memory.
Remember, all CTO and CMV products are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit •
MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO” (Example: 1829-CTO). GAVs
are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a
“fi xed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).
PEW can be accessed at the following Web site:•
http://w3-01.ibm.com/pc/entitle/pg2/Service.wss/display/Home.
Important service information
Customers can also access PEW via
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/
warranty/warranty.vm&sitestyle=lenovo.
Select Warranty lookup. Input the MT and the Serial number and the list of
key commodities will be returned in the PEW record under COMPONENT
INFORMATION.
Business Partners using Eclaim will access PEW when performing •
Entitlement Lookup. Business Partners will enter Loc ID, MT and Serial, and
the key commodities will be returned in the Eclaim record under SYSTEM
DETAILS.
Authorized IBM Business Partners can access Eclaim at the following Web •
site: https://wca.eclaim.com.
Using eSupport
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board,
microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
eSupport can be used to view the list of key commodities built in a particular •
machine serial (this is the same record found in PEW).
eSupport can be accessed at the following Web site:•
http://www.lenovo.com/support.
To view the key commodities, click on PARTS INFORMATION, then PARTS •
LOOKUP. Enter the model type and serial number. The key commodities will
be returned in the eSupport record under PARTS SHIPPED WITH YOUR
SYSTEM.
For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)
Support can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type •
and model.
To view the complete list of FRUs, Enter the machine type and model •
(Example: 1829-CTO) under QUICK PATH. Select PARTS INFORMATION
under “View by Document Type”. Select SERVICE PARTS under “Filter by
Category”. Select SYSTEM SERVICE PARTS under “Parts Information by
Date”. The list of service parts by description, with applicable machine type
model and FRU will be displayed.
Using the HMM
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board,
microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
Use the HMM as a back-up to PEW and eSupport to view the complete list of
FRUs at the MT Model level.

Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs
RoHS, The Restriction of Hazardous Substances in Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive (2002/95/EC) is a European Union legal
requirement affecting the global electronics industry. RoHS requirements
must be implemented on Lenovo products placed on the market after
June 2006. Products on the market before June 2006 are not required to
have RoHS compliant parts. If the original FRU parts are non-compliant,
replacement parts can also be non-compliant. In all cases if the original
FRU parts are RoHS compliant, the replacement part must also be RoHS
compliant.
Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fi t and function
are identifi ed with unique FRU part numbers.
Lenovo plans to transit to RoHS compliance well before the implementation
date and expects its suppliers to be ready to support Lenovo’s requirements
and schedule in the EU. Products sold in 2005 and 2006 will contain some
RoHS compliant FRUs. The following statement pertains to these products and
any product Lenovo produces containing RoHS compliant FRUs.
RoHS compliant FRUs have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after the
RoHS implementation date, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be
replaced with RoHS compliant ones, so only the FRUs identifi ed as compliant
in the system HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs may be used.

• “Power system checkout” on page 23
Before you go to the checkout, make sure to read the following important notes:
Important notes:
• Only certifi ed trained personnel can service the computer.
• Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing
FRUs.
• When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.
• Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or
formatting. Drives in the computer that you are servicing sequence might
have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be
overwritten.
• Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model. When you
replace a FRU, make sure that the machine model and the FRU part number are
correct by referring to the FRU parts list.
• A FRU should not be replaced just 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 logs and run the test again. If the error does not
recur, do not replace the FRU.
• Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.

22
The following symptoms might indicate damage caused by nonwarranted
activities:
Missing parts might be a symptom of unauthorized service or modifi cation. •
If the spindle of a hard disk drive becomes noisy, it may have been subjected •
to excessive force, or dropped.
Power system checkout
To verify a symptom, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Connect the AC adapter.
4. Make sure that power is supplied when you turn on the computer.
5. Turn off the computer.
6. Disconnect the AC adapter and install the charged battery pack.
7. Make sure that the battery pack supplies power when you turn on the
computer.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one of the following power
supply checkouts:
• “Checking the AC adapter ” on page 23
• “Checking operational charging” on page 23
• “Checking the battery pack ” on page 24
Checking the AC adapter
You are 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 computer does not charge during operation, go to “Checking •
operational charging”.
To check the AC adapter, follow the steps below:
1. Unplug the AC adapter cable from the computer.
2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC adapter cable. See the
following fi gure:

4. If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:
Replace the system board.•
If the problem continues, go to • “Lenovo G560” on page 30 .
Note: Noise from the AC adapter does not always indicate a defect.
Checking operational charging
To 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.
23
Lenovo G560 Hardware Maintenance Manual
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or icon does not
light on, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature. Reinstall
the battery pack. If the charge indicator or icon is still off, replace the battery
pack.
If the charge indicator still does not light 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% of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or
from having a shortened life.
To check 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 it), 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 to be charged.
Remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After
it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.
To check the battery pack, follow the steps below:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery
terminals 1 (+) and 7 (-). See the following fi gure:
1(+)
2(+)
Terminal

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V DC, the battery pack has been
discharged.
Note: Recharging will be continued for at least 3 hours, even though the
indicator does not light on.
If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V DC after recharging, replace the
battery.
4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V DC, measure the resistance between
battery terminals 5 and 7. The resistance must be 4 to 30 KΩ.
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the resistance is
correct, replace the system board.

Restoring the factory contents by using OneKey Recovery
Restore of factory default
The Lenovo G560 computers come with pre-installed OneKey Rescue System.
In order to save application fi les and the initial backed up fi les of the system,
the hard disk in a Lenovo computer includes a hidden partition when it is
shipped. If you need to restore the system to the point of your fi rst boot up, just
enter Lenovo OneKey Rescue System and run Restore to factory default. For
details of OneKey Rescue System, see
the User Guide for OneKey Rescue System
.
This will delete all the new data on the system partition (C drive), which
Note:
is not recoverable. Make sure to back up your critical data before you perform this
action.
Using recovery disks
When you replace a hard disk drive in your computer, you are unable to use
the pre-installed Lenovo OneKey Recovery and OneKey Rescue. However, you
can use the recovery disks that store your backed up data to restore your new
hard drive to a previous backup status.
You can create recovery disks by burning the backup image to a CD/DVD
Note:
as recovery disks. For details of Create recovery disks, see the User Guide for
OneKey Rescue System.
25
Lenovo G560 Hardware Maintenance Manual
When you use the recovery disks to boot your computer, the system will enter
the user interface for system recovery automatically. Please follow the prompt
to insert the backup disks to complete the whole recovery process.
The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
Note:
Passwords
As many as three passwords may be needed for any Lenovo computer: the
power-on password (POP), the hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor
password (SVP).
If 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
A 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 be 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 it to get access to •
the hard disk even if the user has changed the user HDP
26
Note: There are two modes for the HDP: User only and 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, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized servicers
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.
