Important regulatory notice for users

The ThinkPad G40 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

G40 Series computer, please find and read ThinkPad G40 Series Regulatory Notice, the notice that

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

Information about hard disk capacity

Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows^®CD with your computer, Lenovo 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 Lenovo 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.

Caring for your ThinkPad computer

Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work

environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following

these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your

computer.

Important tips:

Be careful about where and how you work

v Do not leave the base of your computer in contact with your lap or any

part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning

or when the battery is charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during

normal operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and

battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even through

clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.

v Place liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your

computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).

v Store packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the

risk of suffocation from plastic bags.

v Keep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones,

electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm/5 in).

v Avoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F

or above 35°C/95°F).

Be gentle with your computer

v Avoid placing any objects (including paper) between the display and the

keyboard or under the keyboard.

v Do not drop, bump, scratch, twist, hit, vibrate, push or place heavy objects

on your computer, display, or external devices.

v Your computer display is designed to be opened and used at an angle

slightly greater than 90 degrees. Do not open the display beyond 180

degrees, as this might damage the computer hinge.

Carry your computer properly

v Before moving your computer, be sure to remove any media, turn off

attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.

v Be sure your computer is in standby or hibernation mode, or turned off,

before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data

loss.

v When picking up your open computer, hold it by the bottom. Do not pick

up or hold your computer by the display.

ThinkPad^®G40 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide

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

Caring for your ThinkPad computer

v Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection.

Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.

Handle storage media and drives properly

v Avoid inserting diskettes at an angle and attaching multiple or loose

diskette labels, as these can lodge in the drive.

v If your computer comes with an optical drive such as CD, DVD, or

CD-RW/DVD drive, do not touch the surface of a disc or the lens on the

tray.

v Wait until you hear the CD or DVD click into the center pivot of an optical

drive such as CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive before closing the tray.

v When installing your hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, or CD-RW/DVD drive,

follow the instructions shipped with your hardware, and apply pressure

only where needed on the device. See Access IBM, your on-board help

system, for information on replacing your hard disk drive (open Access

IBM by pressing the Access IBM button).

Take care in setting passwords

v Remember your passwords. If you forget a supervisor or hard disk

password, Lenovo authorized service provider will not reset it, and you

might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.

Other important tips

v Your computer modem might use only an analog telephone network, or

public-switched telephone network (PSTN). Do not connect the modem to a

PBX (private branch exchange) or any other digital telephone extension line

because this could damage your modem. Analog phone lines are often used

in homes, while digital phone lines are often used in hotels or office

buildings. If you are not sure which kind of phone line you are using,

contact your telephone company.

v Your computer might have both an Ethernet connector and a modem

connector. If so, be sure to connect your communication cable to the correct

one, so your connector is not damaged. See Access IBM, your on-board help

system, for information on the location of these connectors (press the Access

IBM button to open Access IBM).

v Register your ThinkPad products with Lenovo (refer to the Web page:

www.lenovo.com/register). This can help authorities return your computer

to you if it is lost or stolen. Registering your computer also enables Lenovo

to notify you about possible technical information and upgrades.

v Only an authorized ThinkPad repair technician should disassemble and

repair your computer.

v Do not modify or tape the latches to keep the display open or closed.

Chapter 1. Overview of your new ThinkPad computer

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

Caring for your ThinkPad computer

v Take care not to turn your computer over while the ac adapter is plugged

in. This could break the adapter plug.

v Turn off your computer if you are replacing a device in a device bay, or else

verify that the device is warm-or hot-swappable.

v If you exchange drives in your computer, reinstall the plastic bezel faces (if

supplied).

v Store your external and removable hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, and

CD-RW/DVD drives in the appropriate containers or packaging when they

are not being used.

v Before you install any of the following devices, touch a metal table or a

grounded metal object. This action reduces any static electricity from your

body. The static electricity could damage the device.

– PC Card

– Smart Card

– Memory Card, such as SD Card, Memory Stick, and MultiMediaCard

– Memory module

– Mini-PCI Card

– Communication Daughter Card

Cleaning the cover of your computer

Occasionally clean your computer as follows:

1. Prepare a mixture of a gentle kitchen-use detergent (one that does not

contain abrasive powder or strong chemicals such as acid or alkaline). Use

5 parts water to 1 part detergent.

2. Absorb the diluted detergent into a sponge.

3. Squeeze excess liquid from the sponge.

4. Wipe the cover with the sponge, using a circular motion and taking care

not to let any excess liquid drip.

5. Wipe the surface to remove the detergent.

6. Rinse the sponge with clean running water.

7. Wipe the cover with the clean sponge.

8. Wipe the surface again with a dry, soft lint-free cloth.

9. Wait for the surface to dry completely and remove any cloth fibers from

the computer surface.

Cleaning your computer keyboard

1. Absorb some isopropyl rubbing alcohol on a soft, dust-free cloth.

ThinkPad^®G40 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide

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

Caring for your ThinkPad computer

2. Wipe each keytop surface with the cloth. Wipe the keys one by one; if you

wipe several keys at a time, the cloth may hook onto an adjacent key and

possibly damage it. Make sure that no liquid drips onto or between the

keys.

3. Allow to dry.

4. To remove any crumbs and dust from beneath the keys, you can use a

camera blower with a brush or cool air from a hair drier.

Note: Avoid spraying cleaner directly on the display or the keyboard.

Cleaning your computer display

1. Gently wipe the display with a dry, soft lint-free cloth. If you see a

scratchlike mark on your display, it might be a stain transferred from the

keyboard or the TrackPoint pointing stick when the cover was pressed

from the outside.

2. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth.

3. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or a 50-50

mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water that does not contain impurities.

4. Wring out as much of the liquid as you can.

5. Wipe the display again; do not let any liquid drip into the computer.

6. Be sure to dry the display before closing it.

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

diskette drive.

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

the startup sequence in the 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. In

the startup menu in BIOS Setup Utility, make sure that the device is included

in the “Boot priority order” list. If it is included in the “Excluded from boot

order” list, it is disabled. Select the entry for it in the list and press the x key.

This moves the entry to the “Boot priority order” list.

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: You may receive an “Unsafe Removal of Device” message that

mentions the USB 1.x device when you resume from suspend or hibernation

in Windows 2000.

Solution: You can safely close this message window. It is displayed because of

a USB 2.0 driver problem in 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

Solving computer problems

Solution: Be sure that the disk meets the standard for your country. Usually, a

disk that meets the local standards is marked with a CD logo (as shown

below) on the label. If you use a disk 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: The system shows slow performance.

Solution: This problem may occur when the ac adapter is not attached. To

prolong battery life with the higher frequency of Intel’s Pentium 4/Celeron

processors, the ThinkPad G40 implements the Dynamic CPU Throttling

feature, which reduces CPU frequency dynamically: 1) when the system

operates in battery mode; 2) when the system increases power consumption;

3) when system temperature increases.

To avoid or reduce this problem, do one or all of the following:

1. Attach the ac adapter.

2. Close applications not being used.

3. Try to lower system temperature by increasing the fan speed with the

Battery MaxiMiser Wizard with Fan Control.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

9. Select Restart; then press Enter. Move the cursor to the option you want

for restarting your computer; then press Enter. Your computer restarts.

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 Rescue and Recovery.

If you installed the Rapid Restore Ultra program, Rescue and Recovery also

contains additional Rapid Restore Ultra backups that reflect the contents of

the hard disk, as it existed at various points in time.

You can use the Rescue and Recovery workspace to restore the contents of the

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

protected area. Rescue and Recovery workspace 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 Rescue and Recovery workspace opens you can perform a recovery

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

about the Rapid Restore Ultra program, see “Backing up and restoring data”

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

and Recovery, see “Introducing Rescue and Recovery” 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.

Note: You might need to use a diskette drive in the recovery process. Use a

drive that is compatible with your ThinkPad computer.

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

Rescue and Recovery: ″To interrupt normal startup, press the blue Access

IBM button.″ The Rescue and Recovery workspace opens.

4. Click Restore factory contents.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Appendix A. Wireless related information

Wireless interoperability

Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter is designed to be interoperable with any

wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

(DSSS) and/or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio

technology, and is compliant to:

v The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs, as defined and approved by

the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

v The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA (Wireless

Ethernet Compatibility Alliance).

Usage environment and your health

The Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter emits radio frequency electromagnetic

energy like other radio devices. However, the level of energy emitted is far

less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for

example mobile phones.

Because the Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter operates within the guidelines

found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Lenovo

believes the integrated wireless cards are safe for use by consumers. These

standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific

community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of

scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research

literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of a Wireless LAN Mini-PCI

Adapter card may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or

responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for

example include:

v Using integrated wireless cards on airplanes, or in hospitals

v In environments 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 the Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Adapter prior to turning on

the ThinkPad G40 computer.

Appendix B. Warranty information

Lenovo Statement of Limited Warranty

LSOLW-00 05/2005

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 Lenovo Group Limited

or one of its subsidiaries (called ″Lenovo″) in this Statement of Limited Warranty

apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale. The term

“Machine” means a Lenovo machine, its options, features, conversions, upgrades or

peripheral products, 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

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

workmanship and 2) conforms to Lenovo’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 Lenovo or your reseller informs you otherwise. Unless

Lenovo 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.

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

What this Warranty Does not Cover

This warranty does not cover the following:

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

or installed subsequently;

v failure resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or

operating environment, or improper maintenance by you;

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

v any non-Lenovo products, including those that Lenovo may procure and

provide with or integrate into a Lenovo Machine at your request.

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

Machine or its parts.

Lenovo 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 with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up and

installation, is provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.

How to Obtain Warranty Service

Warranty service may be provided by Lenovo, IBM, your reseller if authorized

to perform warranty service, or an authorized warranty service provider. Each

of them is referred to as a “Service Provider.”

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

contact a Service Provider. If you do not register the Machine with Lenovo,

you may be required to present proof of purchase as evidence of your

entitlement to warranty service.

What Lenovo Will Do to Correct Problems

When you contact a Service Provider for service, you must follow the problem

determination and resolution procedures that we specify. An initial diagnosis

of your problem can be made either by a technician over the telephone or

electronically by access to a support website.

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

- Warranty Information.

You are responsible for downloading and installing designated software

updates from a support web site or from other electronic media, and

following the instructions that your Service Provider provides. Software

updates may include basic input/output system code (called “BIOS”), utility

programs, device drivers, and other software updates.

46 ThinkPad^®G40 Series Service and Troubleshooting Guide

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

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

(e.g., keyboard, mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive), your Service

Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

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

and your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or electronically,

through your application of software updates, or with a CRU, your Service

Provider, 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

your Service Provider is unable to do either, you may return the Machine to

your place of purchase and your money will be refunded.

As part of the warranty service, your Service Provider may also 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 your Service Provider replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the

replacement 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 your Service Provider 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 your Service Provider service

a Machine that you do not own; and

3. where applicable, before service is provided:

a. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider

provides;

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

Machine; and

c. provide your Service Provider with sufficient, free, and safe access to

your facilities to permit Lenovo to fulfill its obligations.

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

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

possible), (b) allow your Service Provider or a supplier to process on your

behalf any remaining Personal Data as your Service Provider considers

necessary to fulfill its obligations under this Statement of Limited

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

Appendix B. Warranty information 47

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

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

processing complies with any laws applicable to such Personal Data.

Limitation of Liability

Lenovo is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine only while it is

1) in your Service Provider’s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where

Lenovo is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither Lenovo nor your Service Provider are responsible for any of your

confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine

which you return 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 Lenovo’s part or

other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such

instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages

from Lenovo (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or

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

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

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

and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is legally liable; and

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

Machine that is subject of the claim.

This limit also applies to Lenovo’s suppliers, resellers and your Service

Provider. It is the maximum for which Lenovo, its suppliers, resellers, and

your Service Provider are collectively responsible.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS LENOVO, ITS SUPPLIERS,

RESELLERS OR SERVICE PROVIDERS 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 JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE

EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL

DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT

APPLY TO YOU.
