Important notice for users

Important regulatory notice for users

The ThinkPad^®R50 Series computer complies with the radio frequency and safety standards of any

country or region in which it has been approved for wireless use. You are requested to install and use

your ThinkPad computer in strict accordance with the local RF regulations. Before you use the ThinkPad

R50 Series computer, please find and read Regulatory Notice for ThinkPad R50 Series, the notice that

supplements this Service and Troubleshooting Guide. The notice is included in the package with this

publication.

Information about hard disk capacity

Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows^®CD with your computer, IBM^®provides simpler

methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for

these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and

problems associated with using an incorrect CD version.

The complete backup of all the files and programs that IBM preinstalled on your computer resides in a

hidden section, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume

hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you

might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is

explained by the contents of the hidden partition. (See “Recovering pre-installed software” on page 31.)

For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, refer to your

on-system help source, Access IBM. Press the blue Access IBM button or click the Access IBM icon on

your desktop, and then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and

recovering.

Solving computer problems

If you still have the problem, press and hold the power switch for 4

seconds or more; this forces the computer to turn off.

Problem:

The computer does not start from a device you want, such as a diskette

drive.

Solution:

Refer to the Startup menu of the IBM BIOS Setup Utility. Make sure that

the startup sequence in the IBM BIOS Setup Utility is set so that the

computer starts from the device you want.

Also make sure that the device from which the computer starts is enabled

by checking that there is no ! mark preceding the device name.

Problem:

The computer does not respond.

Solution:

IRQs for the PCI are all set as 11. The computer does not respond because

it cannot share the IRQ with other devices. Refer to the ThinkPad

Configuration Program.

Problem:

The computer can not play a CD, or the sound quality is not good.

Solution:

Be sure that the disk meets the standards for your country. Usually, a disk

that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo on the label. If

you use a disc that does not meet these standards, we cannot guarantee

that it will play, or that, if it does play, the sound quality will be good.

Problem:

Playback of DVD is not smooth in Windows 2000.

Solution:

If you select the Maximum Battery mode for the Intel SpeedStep^®

technology, this problem may occur. This mode is designed to achieve

maximum battery life by switching the processor speed between the

regular low speed and half of that speed, depending on how much the

processor is used. If the use increases, Intel SpeedStep switches the

processor speed to the lower speed. Operation in this mode can severely

degrade the performance of the processor, and thus cause the playback of

a DVD to be jerky.

To avoid or reduce this problem, you can choose any of three other modes

of operation, as follows:

28 ThinkPad^®R50 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Solving computer problems

v Maximum Performance: Keeps the processor speed high at all times.

v Automatic: Switches the processor speed between high and low,

depending on how much the processor is used. If the use increases, Intel

SpeedStep switches the processor speed to high.

v Battery Optimized Performance: Keeps the processor speed low at all

times.

To choose a mode, do the following:

1. Start the ThinkPad Configuration Program.

2. Click Power Management.

3. Click the Intel SpeedStep technology tab.

4. From the list, select the mode you want.

5. Click OK.

Problem:

You cannot connect using the built-in wireless networking card.

Solution:

If the computer display is closed, open it and try again.

Problem:

If your operating system is Windows 2000 and you are using a USB 1.x

device, then when your computer returns from standby or hibernation

mode to normal operation, the ″Unsafe Removal of Device″ message may

appear.

Solution:

You can safely close this message. It is displayed because of the USB 2.0

driver problem on Windows 2000. You can get detailed information in the

More Information section of the Microsoft Knowledge Base 328580 and

323754. Visit the Microsoft Knowledge Base homepage at

http://support.microsoft.com/, type the number of the knowledge base

article you need in the search field, and click the Search button.

Recovering pre-installed software

Your computer hard disk has a hidden, protected area for backups. Contained

within this area is a complete backup of the hard disk as it was shipped from

the factory and a program called the Access IBM Predesktop Area.

If you installed the IBM Rapid Restore Ultra program, the Access IBM

Predesktop Area also contains additional IBM Rapid Restore Ultra backups

that reflect the contents of the hard disk as it existed at various points in time.

You can use the Access IBM Predesktop Area to restore the contents of the

hard disk to an earlier state using any of the backup images stored in the

protected area. Access IBM Predesktop Area runs independently of the

Windows operating system. Therefore, you can start it by pressing the blue

Access IBM button when prompted during startup.

After the Access IBM Predesktop Area opens you can perform a recovery

operation, even if you are unable to start Windows. For more information

about the IBM Rapid Restore Ultra program see “Backing up and restoring

data” in Access IBM, your on-board help. For more information about the

Access IBM Predesktop Area see “Interrupting the normal startup sequence”

in Access IBM.

To recover the hard disk to its original contents, do the following:

Note: The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.

Attention: All of the files on the primary hard disk partition (usually drive C)

will be lost in the recovery process. If possible, be sure to back up copies of

the files you have saved on your drive C before you begin.

1. If possible, save all your files and shut down your operating system.

2. Turn off your computer.

3. Turn on your computer. Watch the display carefully. When the following

message is displayed, press the blue Access IBM button to open the Access

IBM Predesktop Area: ″To interrupt normal startup, press the blue Access

IBM button.″

4. Double-click Recover to factory contents.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen.

6. When the recovery process finishes, press Enter key. Your computer will

restart with the pre-installed operating system, drivers, and software.

the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and

committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive

research literature.

In some situation or environment, the use of Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter

or Bluetooth Daughter Card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building

or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for

example include:

v Using the integrated wireless cards on board of airplanes, or in hospitals

v In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or

services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in

a specific organization (e.g. airport or hospital), you are encouraged to ask for

authorization to use Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter or Bluetooth Daughter

Card prior to turning on the ThinkPad computer.

IBM Statement of Limited Warranty Z125-4753-07 11/2002

Part 1 - General Terms

This Statement of Limited Warranty includes Part 1 - General Terms, Part 2 -

Country-unique Terms, and Part 3 - Warranty Information. The terms of Part 2

replace or modify those of Part 1. The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement

of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for

resale. The term ”Machine" means an IBM machine, its features, conversions,

upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term ”Machine"

does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine,

installed subsequently or otherwise. Nothing in this Statement of Limited

Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or

limited by contract.

What this Warranty Covers

IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and

workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications

("Specifications") which are available on request. The warranty period for the

Machine starts on the original Date of Installation and is specified in Part 3 -

Warranty Information. The date on your invoice or sales receipt is the Date of

Installation unless IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise. Many features,

conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to

IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service

status of the removed part. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, these warranties

apply only in the country or region in which you purchased the Machine.

THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND

REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED

WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR

JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF EXPRESS OR

IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY

TO YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN

DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY

AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT

ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY

LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

What this Warranty Does not Cover

This warranty does not cover the following:

any software programs, whether pre-loaded or shipped with the Machine,

or installed subsequently;

failure resulting from misuse (including but not limited to use of any

Machine capacity or capability, other than that authorized by IBM in

writing), accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating

environment, or improper maintenance by you;

Appendix C. Warranty information 57

failure caused by a product for which IBM is not responsible; and

any non-IBM products, including those that IBM may procure and provide

with or integrate into an IBM Machine at your request.

The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the

Machine or its parts.

IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.

Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such

as assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding

Machine set-up and installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF

ANY KIND.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period,

contact IBM or your reseller to obtain warranty service. If you do not register

the Machine with IBM, you may be required to present proof of purchase as

evidence of your entitlement to warranty service.

What IBM Will Do to Correct Problems

When you call for service, you must follow the problem determination and

resolution procedures that IBM specifies. A technician will attempt to make an

initial diagnosis of your problem and help you resolve it over the telephone.

The type of warranty service applicable to your Machine is specified in Part 3

- Warranty Information.

You are responsible for downloading and installing designated Machine Code

(microcode, basic input/output system code (called ″BIOS″), utility programs,

device drivers, and diagnostics delivered with an IBM Machine) and other

software updates from an IBM Internet Web site or from other electronic

media, and following the instructions that IBM provides.

If your problem can be resolved with a Customer Replaceable Unit ("CRU")

(e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive and other easily

replaceable parts), IBM will ship these parts to you for replacement by you.

If the Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period

and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone, through your

application of Machine Code or software updates, or with a CRU, IBM or

your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide warranty service, will either, at

its discretion, 1) repair it to make it function as warranted, or 2) replace it

with one that is at least functionally equivalent. If IBM is unable to do either,

you may return the Machine to your place of purchase and your money will

be refunded.

IBM or your reseller will also manage and install selected engineering changes

that apply to the Machine.

Exchange of a Machine or Part

When the warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the

item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement

58 ThinkPad^®R50 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and

unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working

order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The

replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item.

Your Additional Responsibilities

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove

all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty

service.

You also agree to:

1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that

prevent its exchange;

2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a

Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided:

a. follow the service request procedures that IBM or your reseller

provides;

b. backup or secure all programs, data, and funds contained in the

Machine;

c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to

your facilities to permit IBM to fulfill its obligations; and

d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in the Machine’s location.

4. (a) ensure all information about identified or identifiable individuals

(Personal Data) is deleted from the Machine (to the extent technically

possible), (b) allow IBM, your reseller or an IBM supplier to process on

your behalf any remaining Personal Data as IBM or your reseller considers

necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited

Warranty (which may include shipping the Machine for such processing to

other IBM service locations around the world), and (c) ensure that such

processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.

Limitation of Liability

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is 1)

in IBM’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for

the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller are responsible for any of your confidential,

proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return

to IBM for any reason. You should remove all such information from the

Machine prior to its return.

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other

liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance,

regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM

(including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other

contract or tort claim), except for any liability that cannot be waived or

limited by applicable laws, IBM is liable for no more than

Appendix C. Warranty information 59

1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property

and tangible personal property; and

2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the charges (if

recurring, 12 months’ charges apply) for the Machine that is subject of the

claim. For purposes of this item, the term ″Machine″ includes Machine

Code and Licensed Internal Code (″LIC″).

This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum

for which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM, ITS SUPPLIERS OR RESELLERS

LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING EVEN IF INFORMED OF THEIR

POSSIBILITY: 1) THIRD PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR

DAMAGES (OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED

ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, DATA; 3) SPECIAL,

INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; OR 4) LOST PROFITS, BUSINESS

REVENUE, GOODWILL OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS. SOME STATES OR

OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE

LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME

STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW

LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION

MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

IBM or your reseller will either repair or exchange the failing Machine at

your location and verify its operation. You must provide suitable working

area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the IBM Machine. The area

must be clean, well lit and suitable for the purpose. For some Machines,

certain repairs may require sending the Machine to an IBM service

center.

3. Courier or Depot Service

IBM will provide you with a shipping container for you to return your

Machine to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your

Machine and deliver it to the designated service center. Following its

repair or exchange, IBM will arrange the return delivery of the Machine to

your location. You are responsible for its installation and verification. This

type of service is called ThinkPad EasyServ or EasyServ in some countries.

You will deliver or mail as IBM specifies (prepaid unless IBM specifies

otherwise) the failing Machine suitably packaged to a location IBM

designates. After IBM has repaired or exchanged the Machine, IBM will

make it available for your collection or, for Mail-in Service, IBM will

return it to you at IBM’s expense, unless IBM specifies otherwise. You are

responsible for the subsequent installation and verification of the Machine.
