CHAPTER 2: System utilities

BIOS recovery

An interruption during a BIOS flash procedure (e.g. a power outage) can corrupt the BIOS code, which will cause the system to go into an unbootable state. You need to access and execute the boot block program to reboot the computer and recover the regular BIOS code.

Caution

Observe the following when performing a BIOS recovery:

• Make sure the battery pack is installed to the system and that the computer is connected to a UPS unit during the BIOS recovery and BIOS flash procedures.

• The BIOS crisis recovery disk should be prepared in a computer running the Windows XP or Windows Vista OS.

Creating the Crisis Recovery disk

To create the Crisis Recovery disk:

1 Prepare a removable USB storage device with a capacity size greater than

10 MB . Note that all data on the USB storage device will be cleared during the

creation of the crisis disk.

2 Set up a computer running the Windows XP or Windows Vista OS and plug

in the USB storage device into an available USB port.

3 Use the text editor to create a file named startup.nsh with the following

contents. fs0: PFlash.efi/bb1/silent/sv/sd JV40009j.fd (where JV40009j.fd is the new BIOS

image file)

4 Copy the startup.nsh file and the following folder and files to the USB storage

device.

– EFI folder – BIOS.cap – PFlash.efi – CrisisRevocery.efi – BIOS image file

5 Eject and reconnect the USB storage device, and make sure the files are

saved to the device.

Performing a BIOS recovery

To perform a BIOS recovery:

1 Shut down the BIOS failed-computer. 2 Connect the USB storage device containing the Crisis Recovery disk files

to the failed computer.

3 Press and hold the Fn+Esc keys (this is the BIOS recovery hotkey), then

press the power button. The BIOS recovery process begins. When the process is complete the

computer will automatically reboot.

Page 35

4 Disconnect the USB storage device from the computer. 5 Perform a BIOS flash procedure to update the BIOS firmware.

Running the Flash utility:

To run the Flash utility:

1 Rename the BIOS file as “XXXXXXX.FD”. 2 Copy the “XXXXXXX.FD” file to a bootable USB device containing the Crisis

Recovery disk files.

3 Turn off the computer. 4 Insert the USB device containing the renamed BIOS file and the Crisis

Recovery disk files to any USB port.

5 Press and hold the Fn+Esc keys (this is the BIOS recov ery hotkey), then

press the power button.

6 Release the Fn+Esc keys after POST.

1 Turn off the notebook and unplug all the peripherals connected to it. 2 Complete the steps in “Removing the battery” on page 38. 3 Complete the steps in “Removing the bay cover” on page 39. 4 Remove the wireless card by perf orming steps 3 – 7 of the “Replacing the

wireless card” on page 43.

5 Locate the G2201 gap. 6 Use an electrical conductivity tool to short the two contact s on the har dware

gap together.

7 While resting the tool on the two contacts, plug one end of the AC adapter

into the DC power jack and plug one end to an electrical outlet.

8 Press the power button to turn on the system.

9 After the POST, remove the tool from the hardware gap. 10 Reinstall the battery pack, and the bay cover. 11 Turn on the notebook and press F2 during bootup to access the Setup utility. 12 Press F9 to load the system defaults. 13 Press F10 to save the changes you made and close the Setup utility.

Unlocking the hard drive

To regain access to your computer if you lose the HDD password, you need to generate a master password and unlock the hard drive.

To unlock a hard drive:

1 Open the computer in a DOS environment. 2 Type the following command:

A\> unlock6 XXXXX 00 (where XXXXX is the HDD password error code)

3 Press Enter to display the command options. 4 Select option 2 (upper case ASCII code), then press Enter. 5 Write down the generated master password. 6 Reboot the computer. 7 In the HDD password prompt, type the master password generated in step 5,

To avoid exposure to dangerous electrical voltages and moving parts, turn off your notebook, remove the battery, and unplug the power cord and network cable before opening the case.

Warning

To prevent risk of electric shock, do not insert any object into the vent holes of the notebook.

Important

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, you shoul d read and understand the information in this section.

The components inside your notebook are ex tre mely sensitive to st atic e lectricity, also known as electrostatic discharge (ESD).

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, follow these guidelines:

• Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted floors, plastic, and packing

foam.

• Remove components from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to

use them. Do not lay components on the outside of antistatic bags because only the inside of the bags provide electrostatic protection.

• Always hold components by their edges. Avoid touching the edge

connectors. Never slide components over any surface.

• Wear a grounding wrist strap (available at most electronics stores) and att ach

it to a bare metal part of your workbench or other grounded connection.

• Touch a bare metal surface on your workbench or other grounded object.

Tape

Some of the procedures in this guide involve removing tape that secures cables or components. Two types of tape are used in this notebook:

• Mylar, non-conductive tape is typically transparent, with a red or brown tint.

• Conductive tape is typically grey or silver in color.

If the existing tape cannot be reused, replace it with the same type. Make sure the replacement tape is of the non-ESD generating kind. Do not use cellophane tape.

Preparing the work space

Before performing maintenance on the notebook, make sure that your work space and the notebook are correctly prepared.

• Wear a grounding (ESD) wrist strap, a nd use a grounded or dissip ative work

mat.

• Use a sturdy table. Make sure that the t able top is wide e nough to hold each

component as you remove it.

• Ensure that clear lighting condition is available to make part identification

easier.

• Keep your work surface free from clutter and debris that may damage

components.

• Use a magnetized screwdriver for removing screws.

• When removing components that are attached to the notebook by a cable,

unplug the cable before removing the screws, when possible, to avoid damaging the cable.

• As you remove components and screws, lay them toward the rear of your

work surface (behind the notebook) or far enough to the side that your arms will not accidentally brush them onto the floor.

• To help keep track of screws, try the following: – Place each component’s screws in their own section of a parts sorter. – Place each component’s screws next to the component on your work

surface.

– Print the first page of each task, then place the page toward the rear of

your work surface. As you remove screws, place the screws in their respective section on the page.

– After loosening screws that are deeply recessed in a hole (for example,

on the bottom of the base assembly), you can leave the screws in the holes if you place small pieces of masking tape over the hole openings. When reassembling the component, just remove the tape and tighten the screws.

– When you place flat-headed screws on the work surface, stand them

on their heads to prevent the screws from rolling off the table.
