Introduction

Important service information

Important

BIOS and device driver fixes are customer-installable. The BIOS and device
drivers are posted on the customer support site http://www.lenovo.com/

support

Advise customers to contact the Customer Support Center at 800-426-7378 if
they need assistance in obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and
BIOS downloads.

Customers in Canada should call the Customer Support Center at
800-565-3344 for assistance or download information.

Strategy for replacing FRUs

Before replacing parts

Make sure that all software fixes, drivers, and BIOS downloads are installed
before replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.

After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest BIOS is loaded to the
system board before completing the service action.

To download software fixes, drivers, and BIOS, do as follows:

1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support

2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on

the screen.

3. Select Downloads and drivers.

4. Follow the directions on the screen and install the necessary software.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and

servicing FRUs:

v If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement 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
replacing one of them does not correct the problem, reinstall that board, and
then replace the other one.

v 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.

Important service information

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.

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. Be sure that the customer has a
current backup of the data before doing this task.

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 of a system board can cause damage to those components, and may
cause a system malfunction.

Attention: When handling a system board:

v Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.

v Avoid rough handling of any kind.

v Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each

BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.

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. 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.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV

Product definition

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)

This provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM® or a Lenovo
solution from an eSite, and have this configuration sent to fulfillment, 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)

is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM or Lenovo

This
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.

v 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: 1829-W15).

TM

4 MT 0656, 0657, 0658, 0659, 9455, 9456, 9457, 9458, 9459, 9460, 9461, 9462, 9463, 9464, 8942, 8943, 8944, 8945, and 8947

Important service information

v The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO”

(Example: 1829-CTO).

v eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example:

1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site.)

v 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

This

Announce Variant (GAV)

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 “fixed part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).
Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under the same fixed
model number.

FRU identification 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

v 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.

v 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 “fixed
part number”, not “CTO” (Example: 1829-F1U).

v PEW can be accessed at the following Web site:

http://w3-3.ibm.com/pc/entitle

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.

v 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.

v Authorized IBM Business Partners can access Eclaim at the following We b site:

https://wca.eclaim.com

Using eSupport

For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board,
microprocessor, LCD, and memory)

v 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).

v eSupport can be accessed at the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/

support

v To view the key commodities, click on PAR TS INFORMATION, then PA RT S

LOOKUP. Type in the model type and serial number. The key commodities will
be returned in the eSupport record under PA RT S SHIPPED WITH YOUR
SYSTEM.

Introduction 5

Important service information

For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)

v eSupport can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type and

model.

v To view the complete list of FRUs, type in the machine type and model

(Example: 1829-CTO) under QUICK PATH. Under “View by Document Type”
select PA RTS INFORMATION. Under “Filter by Category” select SERVICE
PARTS. Under “Parts Information by Date” select SYSTEM SERVICE PARTS. The
list of service parts by description, with applicable machine type model and FRU
will be displayed.

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 and sold in the
European Union 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 fit and function are

identified with unique FRU part numbers.

Lenovo plans to transition 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 using
RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system
HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs may be used.

Safety notice 7

DANGER

Though the main batteries have low voltage, a shorted or grounded battery can
produce enough current to burn personnel or combustible materials.

Bien que le voltage des batteries principales soit peu élevé, le court-circuit ou la mise
à la masse d’une batterie peut produire suffisamment de courant pour brûler des
matériaux combustibles ou causer des brûlures corporelles graves.

Obwohl Hauptbatterien eine niedrige Spannung haben, können sie doch bei
Kurzschluß oder Erdung genug Strom abgeben, um brennbare Materialien zu
entzünden oder Verletzungen bei Personen hervorzurufen.

Sebbene le batterie di alimentazione siano a basso voltaggio, una batteria in corto
circuito o a massa può fornire corrente sufficiente da bruciare materiali combustibili o
provocare ustioni ai tecnici di manutenzione.

Aunque las baterías principales tienen un voltaje bajo, una batería cortocircuitada o
con contacto a tierra puede producir la corriente suficiente como para quemar material
combustible o provocar quemaduras en el personal.

familiar before you service a ThinkPad 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. 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

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes

Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes

v

the equipment unsafe.

v Before you start the machine, make sure 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 toolcase 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. Make sure 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, about 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.

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.

Electrical safety

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Introduction 13

Safety information

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.

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 Field Replaceable Units (FRUs)

Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot

v

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: 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;

Instructions for these precautions 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.

Safety information

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 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. Yo u should use good judgment to identify potential
safety hazards due to attachment of non-ThinkPad 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 a bulging capacitor

v Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

determine whether there are any potentially unsafe conditions, use the

To
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. 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 the frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the type specified 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-ThinkPad alterations. Use good judgment as to the

safety of any non-ThinkPad 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.

Introduction 15

Safety information

Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge

9. 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:

v Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

v Avoid contact with other people while handling the part.

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 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. Yo u 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.

Passwords

As 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).

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):

v User HDP—for the user

v 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

There are two modes for the HDP: User only and Master + User. The

Note:

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.

Supervisor password:

A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the BIOS
Setup Utility. The user must enter the SVP in order to get access to the BIOS Setup
Utility and change the system configuration.

Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the
servicer, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board
must be replaced for a scheduled fee.

How to remove the power-on password

To remove a POP that you have forgotten, do the following:

(A) If no SVP has been set:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Remove the battery pack.

For how to remove the battery pack, see “1010 Battery pack” on page 58.

3. Remove the backup battery.

For how to remove the backup battery, see “1120 Backup battery” on page 79.

4. Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends.

General descriptions 23

Related service information

After the POST ends, the password prompt does not appear. The POP has been
removed.

5. Reinstall the backup battery and the battery pack.

(B) If an SVP has been set and is known by the servicer:

1. Turn on the computer; then, while the “To interrupt normal startup, press the
blue ThinkVantage® button” message is displayed at the lower-left of the
screen, press the ThinkVantage button. The Rescue and Recovery screen opens.

Note: If you are using the ACPI operating system, you can change the action of

Fn+F4.

In certain circumstances, the computer goes into standby mode automatically:

v If a “suspend time” has been set on the timer, and the user does not do any

operation with the keyboard, the TrackPoint®, the hard disk, the parallel
connector, or the diskette drive within that time.

v If the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the battery power is low.

(Alternatively, if Hibernate when battery becomes low has been selected in the
“Power Management Properties” window, the computer goes into hibernation
mode.)

Note for the APM operating system:

if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge indicator notifies you

Even
when the battery is low, and then the computer enters the power-saving mode
automatically. This default low-battery behavior is independent of the operating
system; so if you have set the low-battery alarm, the computer may not do what
you specified. It chooses either your setting or the default setting, whichever is
appropriate.

If you are using the ACPI operating system, only the low-battery alarm is
available.

Testing the computer

Checkout guide

Use the following procedures as a guide in identifying and correcting problems
with the ThinkPad computer.

Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only ThinkPad products. The use of

non-ThinkPad products, prototype cards, or modified options can lead to
false indications of errors and invalid system responses.

1. Identify the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.

2. Verify the symptoms. Tr y to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test

or by repeating the operation.

The ThinkPad computer has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter
called PC-Doctor.) Yo u can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in
PC-Doctor. This section is an overview of the procedure. For details that depend
on model-unique functions, refer to “Product overview” on page 34.

For some possible configurations of the computer, PC-Doctor might not run
correctly. To avoid this problem, you need to initialize the computer setup by use
of the BIOS Setup Utility before you run PC-Doctor. On the BIOS Setup Utility
screen, press F9, Enter, F10, and then Enter.

Note: When you initialize the computer configuration, some devices are disabled,

such as the serial port. If you test one of these devices, you will need to
enable it by using Configuration utility for DOS. The utility is available on
the following We b site: http://www.lenovo.com/support

PC-Doctor cannot be used to test a device that is in the ThinkPad Advanced Dock,
even if the computer supports the ThinkPad Advanced Dock. To test a USB device,
connect it to the USB connector of the computer.

Creating the PC-Doctor diagnostics diskette

To create the PC-Doctor disk from the Rescue and Recovery workspace, do as
follows:

1. Enter the Rescue and Recovery workspace by pressing the ThinkVantage button
during POST.

2. When the Rescue and Recovery workspace finishes loading, click Diagnostic
Diskette.

3. Authenticating the digital signature takes about 15 seconds; then the ThinkPad
computer will reboot into PC-DOS.

4. A batch file automatically starts up to prompt you through the process of
creating diskettes. Yo u are notified of how many diskettes you will need.

a. Yo u are prompted to insert each diskette in sequence.
b. Typically, all you need to do is to press the Enter key for the floppy drive;

the system then formats and creates the diskette.

c. Each diskette is erased and formatted with the PC-Doctor for DOS boot

image.

Once all the diskettes have been created, the ThinkPad computer will reboot.

5.

The user is asked to remove all diskettes from the drive, or to insert the first
diskette created if it is desired to run the diagnostics.

Checking the ac adapter

Yo u are here because the computer fails only when the ac adapter is used.

v If the power problem occurs only when the ThinkPad Essential Port Replicator

is used, replace the port replicator.

v If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the ac

adapter for correct continuity and installation.

v If the computer does not charge during operation, go to ″Checking operational

charging.″

To check the ac adapter, do the following:

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 figure:

Pin Voltage (V dc)

1 +20

2 0

3 Ground

(20V)

Note: Output voltage of pin no.2 of the ac adapter may different from the one

you are servicing.

3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac adapter.

4. If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:

v Replace the system board.
v If the problem persists, go to “Product overview” on page 34.

Noise from the ac adapter does not always indicate a defect.

Note:

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.

Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator or 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.

If 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%
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), and the
percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get detailed information
about the battery, double-click the Power Meter icon.

General descriptions 31

Checkout guide

Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able to charge. 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, 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:

Terminal Voltage (V dc)

7(-)

6(-)

5

4

3

2(+)

1(+)

1 + 0 to + 12.6

7 Ground (−)

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged.

Note: Recharging will take at least 3 hours, even if the indicator does not turn

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 K .

If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack. If the resistance is
correct, replace the system board.

Checking the backup battery

Do the following:

1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter from it.

2. Turn the computer upside down.

3. Remove the battery pack (see “1010 Battery pack” on page 58).

4. Remove the backup battery (see “1120 Backup battery” on page 79).

5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.

Red (+)

Symptom-to-FRU index

Symptom-to-FRU index

The symptom-to-FRU index in this section lists symptoms and errors and their
possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first, in boldface type.

Note: Do the FRU replacement or other actions in the sequence shown in the

column headed “FRU or action, in sequence.” If replacing 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 help you determine, during regular servicing, what FRUs are
likely to need to be replaced next.

A numeric error is displayed for each error detected in POST or system operation.
In the displays, n can be any number.

If no numeric code is displayed, check the narrative descriptions of symptoms. If
the symptom is not described there, go to “Intermittent problems” on page 53.

Symptom-to-FRU index

Intermittent problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety of 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:

1. Run the 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.

Undetermined problems

If 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 30.)

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Visually check each FRU for damage. Replace any damaged FRU.

3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
a. Non-ThinkPad devices
b. Devices attached to the port replicator
c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
d. Battery pack
e. Hard disk drive
f. External diskette drive or optical drive
g. DIMM
h. Optical disk or diskette in the internal drive
i. PC Cards

Turn on the computer.

4.

5. Determine whether the problem has been solved.

6. If the problem does not recur, 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 nondefective FRU):

a. System board
b. LCD assembly

FRU replacement notices

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 ThinkPad computer, this
problem is addressed with special nylon-coated screws that have the following
characteristics:

v They maintain tight connections.
v They do not easily come loose, even with shock or vibration.
v They are harder to tighten.
v Each one should be used only once.

the following when you service this machine:

Do
v Keep the screw kit (for the P/N, see “Miscellaneous parts” on page 230) in your

tool bag.

v Always use new screws.
v Use a torque screwdriver if you have one.

Tighten

screws as follows:

v Plastic to plastic

Turn an additional 90 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the
plastic part:

90 degrees more

(Cross-section)

v Logic card to plastic

Turn an additional 180 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the
logic card:

(Cross-section)

v Torque driver

If you have a torque driver, refer to the “Torque” column for each step.

v Make sure that you use the correct screw. If you have a torque screwdriver,

tighten all screws firmly to the torque shown in the table. Never use a screw

that you removed. Use a new one. Make sure that all of the screws are
tightened firmly.

v Ensure torque screwdrivers are calibrated correctly following country

specifications.

FRU replacement notices

v “Retaining the UUID”
v “Reading or writing the ECA information”

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.

If 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:

1. Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.73 or later, and
restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 1. Set System Identification.

3. Select 2. Read S/N data from EEPROM.

The serial number of each device in your computer is displayed; the serial number
of the system unit is listed as follows:
v 20: Serial number

Write down that number.

Note: The serial number of the system unit is also written on the label attached to

the bottom of the computer.

After you have replaced the system board, restore the serial number by doing the
following:

1. Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.73 or later and
restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 1. Set System Identification.

3. 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:

1. Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.73 or later, and
restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 4. Assign UUID.

A new UUID is created and written. If a valid UUID already exists, it is not
overwritten.

Reading or writing the ECA information

Information on Engineering Change Announcements (ECA) are stored in the
EEPROM of the system board. The electronic storage of this information simplifies
the procedure to check if the ECA has been previously applied to a machine. The
machine does not need to be disassembled to check for the ECA application.

ThinkPad R60, R60e, R61, and R61i 55

FRU replacement notices

To check what ECAs have been previously applied to the machine, use the ECA
Information Read/Write function on the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette

DANGER

Before removing any FRU, turn 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 none are
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
