Introduction  
Important service information  
Important  
BIOS and device driver fixes are  
customer-installable. The BIOS and device drivers  
are posted on the IBM support site  
Advise customers to contact the PC Company  
HelpCenter at 800-772-2227 if they need assistance  
in obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.  
Customers in Canada should call IBM HelpPC at  
800-565-3344 for assistance or download  
information.  
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 FRU  
replacement and service expense:  
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 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 configuration settings (using the View Configuration  
option); then, when service has been completed, verify that  
those settings remain in effect.

Important service information  
Strategy for replacing a hard-disk drive  
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 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.  
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 if the error symptom is listed  
in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are  
servicing.

Safety information  
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:  
v
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.  
v
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. Do not attempt to lift any  
objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or objects  
that you think are too heavy for you.  
v
v
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 customers 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
v
Keep your toolcase 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. Make sure that your sleeves  
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair  
is long, fasten it.  
v
v
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.  
v
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.  
v
v

Safety information  
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.  
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
v
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  
v
v
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:  
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.

Safety information  
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.  
v
v
v
Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.  
Never assume that power has been disconnected from  
a 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.  
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.  
v
v
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. 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.  
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

Safety information  
v
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware  
To determine whether there are any potentially 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. 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 type specified in the  
parts list.  
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.  
Handling electrostatic  
discharge-sensitive devices  
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.

Safety information  
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.  
v
v
v
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.  
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  
v
v
v
v
Only certified trained personnel should  
service the computer.  
Read the entire FRU removal and replacement  
page before replacing any FRU.  
Use new nylon-coated screws when you  
replace FRUs.  
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.  
v
v
Replace FRUs only for the correct model.  
When you replace a FRU, make sure the model  
of the machine and the FRU part number are  
correct by referring to the FRU parts list.  
A 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.  
v
Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.  
What to do first  
When you do return a FRU, you must include the following  
information in the parts exchange form or parts return form  
that you attach to it:

Related service information  
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
v
User HDPfor the user  
Master HDPfor the system administrator, who can use  
it to get access to the hard disk even if the user has  
changed the user HDP  
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. It 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:  
A 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.  
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 systemboard  
must be replaced for a scheduled fee.

Power management  
To reduce power consumption, the computer has three  
power management modes: screen blank, standby, and  
hibernation.  
Notes  
v
v
Screen blank mode is called standby mode in

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 Propertieswindow, the computer goes  
into hibernation mode.)  
Note for the APM operating system:  
Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge  
indicator notifies you 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.  
To cause the computer to return from standby mode and  
resume operation, do one of the following:  
v
v
Press the Fn key.  
Open the LCD cover (only if you are using Windows Me  
and you entered standby mode by closing the LCD  
cover.)  
v

Also, the computer automatically returns from standby  
mode and resumes operation in either of the following  
events:  
v
The ring indicator (RI) is signaled by a serial device or a  
PC Card device (Windows 2000 does not support the  
ring indicator (RI) resume by PC Card device.)  
The time set on the resume timer elapses. In Windows  
98, the Scheduled Tasks setting takes priority over the  
Resume on timer selection in the Power Management  
Propertieswindow.  
v
Note: The computer does not accept any input  
immediately after it enters standby mode. Wait a  
few seconds before taking any action to reenter  
operation mode.  
Hibernation mode  
Note for Windows NT  
If you are using Windows NT in the default format,  
NTFS, you cannot create a hibernation file. If you  
want to use hibernation mode, you will need to  
reinstall Windows NT with FAT format.

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 IBM  
products. The use of non-IBM 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. Try to re-create the failure by  
running the diagnostic test or by repeating the  
operation.  
Testing the computer  
The ThinkPad computer has a test program called  
PC-Doctor® DOS (hereafter called PC-Doctor). You 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  
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 IBM  
BIOS Setup Utility before you run PC-Doctor. On the IBM  
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 PS2.EXE.  
PC-Doctor cannot be used to test a device that is in the  
docking station, even if the computer supports the docking  
station. To test a USB device, connect it to the USB  
connector of the computer. To test the Ultrabay 2000  
device, install it in the Ultrabay 2000 slot of the computer.  
To run the test, do as follows:

Checking the ac adapter  
You are here because the computer fails only when the ac  
adapter is used:  
v
If the power problem occurs only when the port  
replicator is used, replace the port 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 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:

Replace the system board.  
If the problem persists, go to Product overviewon  
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.  
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.

Checkout guide  
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 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  
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 5 (−). See the  
following figure:  
Terminal Voltage (V dc)  
1
5
+ 0 to + 12.6  
Ground (−)  
1(+)  
2

4
5(-)  
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 4 and 5. 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.

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  
You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify  
which adapter or device failed, wrong devices are installed,  
a short circuit is suspected, or the system is inoperative.  
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  
1. Power 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-IBM 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  
g. DIMM  
h. CD-ROM and diskette drive in the UltraslimBay  
i. PC Cards  
4. Power on the computer.  
5. Determine whether the problem has changed.  
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

Retaining serial numbers  
This section includes the following descriptions:  
v
v
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 1.62, 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 for each device is displayed. Write  
down the serial number of the system unit, designated as  
follows:  
20: System unit serial number  
After you have replaced the system board, restore the  
serial number by doing the following:  
1. Install the ThinkPad hardware maintenance diskette  
version 1.62 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.  
Note: The serial number of the system unit is written on  
the label attached on the bottom of the computer.  
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  
ThinkPad A20m/p, A21m/p and A22m/p 57

FRU replacement notices  
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 1.62, 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.

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:  
1. Do not try to service any computer unless you have  
been trained and certified. An untrained person runs  
the risk of damaging parts.  
2. Before replacing any FRU, review FRU replacement  
3. 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.  
4. Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing  
the FRU, as indicated in the drawings by the numbers  
in square callouts.  
5. When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the  
direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing.  
6. When removing the FRU, move it in the direction  
indicated by the arrow in the drawing.  
7. To 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 Locationson page 112.  
8. 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: Before the computer is powered on after FRU  
replacement, make 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).
