Strategy for replacing FRUs  
Before replacing parts  
Make sure that all software fixes are installed before  
replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.  
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 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. Loading Setup  
Defaults or replacing the system board may alter the  
settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the  
BIOS Setup Utility); 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.

Before the computer is powered on after FRU  
replacement, make sure all screws, springs, and other  
small parts are in place and are not left loose inside  
the computer. Verify this by shaking the computer and  
listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal  
flakes can cause electrical shorts.  
Avant de remettre l’ordinateur sous tension après  
remplacement d’une unité en clientèle, vérifiez que  
tous les ressorts, vis et autres pièces sont bien en  
place et bien fixées. Pour ce faire, secouez l’unité et  
assurez-vous qu’aucun bruit suspect ne se produit. Des  
pièces métalliques ou des copeaux de métal pourraient  
causer un court-circuit.  
Bevor nach einem FRU-Austausch der Computer  
wieder angeschlossen wird, muß sichergestellt werden,  
daß keine Schrauben, Federn oder andere Kleinteile  
fehlen oder im Gehäuse vergessen wurden. Der  
Computer muß geschüttelt und auf Klappergeräusche  
geprüft werden. Metallteile oder-splitter können  
Kurzschlüsse erzeugen.  
Prima di accendere l’elaboratore dopo che é stata  
effettuata la sostituzione di una FRU, accertarsi che  
tutte le viti, le molle e tutte le altri parti di piccole  
dimensioni siano nella corretta posizione e non siano  
sparse all’interno dell’elaboratore. Verificare ciò  
scuotendo l’elaboratore e prestando attenzione ad  
eventuali rumori; eventuali parti o pezzetti metallici  
possono provocare cortocircuiti pericolosi.  
Antes de encender el sistema despues de sustituir una  
FRU, compruebe que todos los tornillos, muelles y  
demás piezas pequeñas se encuentran en su sitio y no  
se encuentran sueltas dentro del sistema.

Safety information  
Safety information  
The following section presents safety information with  
which you need to be familiar before you service a  
ThinkPad computer.  
General safety  
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:  
v
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.  
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  
object that weighs 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 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
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.

Safety information  
v
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels,  
and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is  
worn or defective.  
v
v
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the  
machine to the customer.  
Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent overheating  
of internal components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or  
cover them with labels or stickers.  
Warning  
Handling the cord on this product or cords  
associated with accessories sold with this product  
will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the  
state of California to cause cancer, and birth defects  
or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after  
handling.  
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:  
Introduction 17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Safety information  
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; these instructions 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
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.  
v
v
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.  
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.  
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 information  
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-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
v
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a  
bulging capacitor  
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-ThinkPad alterations. Use  
good judgment as to the safety of any non-ThinkPad  
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.  
Introduction 19

Safety information  
8. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws  
or rivets) have not been removed or tampered with.  
Handling devices that are sensitive to  
electrostatic discharge  
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
v
Avoid contact with other people.  
Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to  
eliminate static on your body.  
v
v
v
Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most  
clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when  
you are wearing a wrist strap.  
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.

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.

Restoring the preloaded system  
If the data on a hard disk drive is damaged or accidentally  
erased, you can restore the software that was shipped with  
the computer. This software includes the pre-installed  
operating system, applications, and device drivers.  
To restore the pre-installed software, you can use either  
the Product Recovery program or a recovery CD.  
Ordering the recovery CD  
When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a  
failure, no Product Recovery program is on the new  
hard disk. In this case, you must use the Product  
Recovery CD for the computer. Order the recovery  
CD and the hard disk drive at the same time so that  
you can recover the new hard disk drive with the  
pre-installed software when they arrive. For  
information on which CD to order, and the latest  
procedure on how to do so, see “Recovery CDs” on  
The Product Recovery program is in the Predesktop Area,  
a section of the hard disk drive that is not displayed by  
Windows Explorer.  
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. Be sure to back up copies of the files you have  
saved on your drive C before you begin.  
To use the Product Recovery program to install your  
pre-installed software, do the following:  
1. If possible, save all your files to media other than your  
hard disk.  
2. Turn off your computer.

You can delete the Predesktop Area partition by going into  
the BIOS Setup Utility (F1 at IBM Splash Screen), and  
then choosing Security -> IBM Predesktop Area -->  
Disabled. This will make the Predesktop Area available to  
FDISK. If you choose Disabled, the following warning  
appears:  
Attention! If you select Disabled, the IBM Predesktop Area  
will be visible and can be reclaimed by the OS. Once the  
area is overwritten by OS tools, it can’t be used with  
Normal or Secure again and you will need to obtain a  
Recovery CD to retrieve original HDD. Please confirm that  
you wish to select Disabled.  
FDISK will not delete the Predesktop Area unless you do  
this, because it is not visible. You would have to use  
ThinkPad Maintenance Diskette to completely wipe the  
drive.  
To create the Predesktop Area and install the preloaded  
system from the recovery CD, do the following:  
To create the Predesktop Area:  
1. Erase all partitions on the hard disk drive, using FDISK  
or a similar application.

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
v
User HDP—for the user  
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  
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. 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 SVP must  
be entered in order to get access to the 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 system board must  
be replaced for a scheduled fee.

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 the status of your battery, move your cursor to  
the Power Meter icon in the icon tray of the Windows

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

The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains  
many thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small number of  
dots that are missing, discolored, or always lighted  
is characteristic of TFT LCD technology, but  
excessive pixel problems can cause viewing  
concerns. The LCD should be replaced if the  
number of missing, discolored, or lighted dots in any  
background is:  
v
XGA: 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more dark dots,  
or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.  
SXGA+: 11 or more bright dots, 13 or more dark  
dots, or a total of 16 or more bright and dark  
dots.  
v
Note: A bright dot means a pixel is always on  
(white or color.) A dark dot means a pixel is  
always off (black color.)

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  
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  
g. DIMM  
h. CD-ROM and diskette drive in the Ultrabay  
i. PC Cards  
4. Turn on the computer.  
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

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 1.69 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 1.69 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.

FRU replacement notices  
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 1.69 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.  
To check what ECAs have been previously applied to the  
machine, use the ECA Information Read/Write function on  
the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.69  
or later.  
1. Insert the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette  
Version 1.69 or later, and restart the computer.  
2. From the main menu, select 6. Set ECA Information.  
3. To read ECA information, select 2. Read ECA/rework  
number from EEPROM and follow the instruction.  
4. To read box build date, select 5. Read box build date  
from EEPROM, and follow the instruction on the  
screen.  
After an ECA has been applied to the machine, the  
EEPROM must be updated to reflect the ECA's  
application. Use the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance  
Diskette Version 1.69 or later to update the EEPROM.  
Note: Only the ECA number is stored in the EEPROM.  
The machine type of the ECA is assumed be the  
same as the machine type of the machine that had  
the ECA applied to it.  
1. Insert the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette  
Version 1.69 or later, and restart the computer.  
2. From the main menu, select 6. Set ECA Information.

number from EEPROM, and follow the instruction.  
4. To write box build date, select 4. Write box build date  
from EEPROM, and follow the instruction on the  
screen.  
If the system board is being replaced, try to read the ECA  
information from the old system board and transfer the  
information to the new system. If the system board is  
inoperable, this will not be possible.

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 given in the drawings by the numbers in  
square callouts.  
5. When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the  
direction as given by the arrow in the drawing.  
6. When removing the FRU, move it in the direction as  
given 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 “Locations” on page 112.  
8. When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw as  
shown in the procedures.  
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 6405959).
