obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.  
Customers in Canada should call IBM HelpPC at  
800-565-3344 for assistance or down-load information.  
The Canadian BBS phone numbers are:  
Montreal  
Toronto  
514-938-3022

Vancouver 604-664-6464  
Winnipeg 204-934-2735  
FRU Replacement Strategy  
Before Replacing Parts  
Ensure that all diskette fixes are installed prior to  
replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.  
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary FRU  
replacement and service expense:  
Ÿ
If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that  
does not correct the problem, reinstall the original  
FRU before you continue.  
Ÿ
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 the first  
board that you replaced does not correct the problem,  
reinstall the original board, then replace the other  
(processor or system) board.  
Ÿ
If an adapter or device consists of more than one  
FRU, an error code may be caused by any of the  
FRUs. Before replacing the adapter or device,  
remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symp-  
toms change. Replace only the FRU that changed  
the symptoms.  
Introduction

Attention  
A customized setup configuration (other than default  
settings) may exist on the computer you are servicing.  
Running Automatic Configuration may alter those set-  
tings. Note the current configuration settings (using  
the View Configuration option) and verify that the set-  
tings are in place when service is complete.  
Hard Disk Drive Replacement Strategy:  
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 might have been changed. Be extremely  
careful during write operations such as copying,  
saving, or formatting. Data or programs can be over-  
written if you select an incorrect drive.  
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. The cause of the  
first error code can result in false error codes being dis-  
played. 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.  
How to Read POST Error Messages  
POST error messages are displayed on the screen as  
three, four, five, or eight digits. The error messages that  
can be displayed as shorter POST messages are high-  
lighted in this index. Some digits will represent different  
information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI errors.  
The following example shows which digits display the  
shorter POST error messages and also defines the SCSI  
information in an eight-digit error message.  
Shorter POST Messages  
┌────┬────┬────┬────┐  
┌────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┬────┐  
│ ð │ ð │ ð │ ð │ ð │ ð │ ð │ ð │  
└────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┴────┘  
Reserved │  
Size (SCSI)  
└────┴────┘  
Device Code  
Slot Number (SCSI)  
Logical Unit Number (SCSI)  
ID (SCSI)  
All SCSI devices are set to a different SCSI ID.  
Duplicate SCSI ID settings can generate a false error  
message. Use the SCSI ID to determine whether the error  
message is coming from an internal or an external device.

Safety Notices (Multi-lingual  
Translations)  
In this manual, safety notices appear in English with a  
page number reference to the appropriate multi-lingual,  
translated safety notice found in this section.  
The following safety notices are provided in English,  
French, German, Italian, and Spanish languages.  
Safety Notice 1  
Before the computer is powered-on after FRU replace-  
ment, make sure all screws, springs, or other small  
parts are in place and are not left loose inside the  
computer. Verify this by shaking the computer and lis-  
tening 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.  
Compruébelo agitando el sistema y escuchando los  
posibles ruidos que provocarían. Las piezas metálicas  
pueden causar cortocircuitos eléctricos.

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:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
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  
objects that weigh more than 16 kg (35 lb) or  
objects that you think are too heavy for you.  
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.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Place removed covers and other parts in a safe  
place, away from all personnel, while you are ser-  
vicing the machine.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Keep your tool case 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. Ensure that your sleeves  
are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your  
hair is long, fasten it.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
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 conduc-  
tors.  
Ÿ
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.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards,  
labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device  
that is worn or defective.  
Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the  
machine to the customer.

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 elec-  
trical 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.  
Ÿ
Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch,  
disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an elec-  
trical accident occurs, you can then operate the  
switch or unplug the power cord quickly.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
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  
Ÿ
Ÿ
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: There must be a complete circuit to  
cause electrical shock. 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 accesso-  
ries 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.

Ÿ
Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand  
tools for safe operational condition.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
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.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
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.)  
Ÿ
If an electrical accident occurs:  
Use caution; do not become a victim your-  
self.  
Switch off power.  
Send another person to get medical aid.  
Safety Inspection Guide  
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in identi-  
fying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.  
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required  
safety items installed to protect users and service per-  
sonnel from injury. This guide addresses only those items.  
However, good judgment should be used to identify poten-  
tial 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:  
Ÿ
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary  
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal elec-  
trical shock).  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or  
bulging capacitor  
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hard-  
ware  
Introduction 13

The guide consists of a series of steps presented in a  
checklist. 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 conti-  
nuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external  
ground pin and frame ground.  
b. The power cord should be the appropriate type  
as specified in the parts listings.  
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 alter-  
ations.  
6. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe condi-  
tions, 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 cir-  
cuits (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 effec-  
tive.  
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:  
Ÿ
Keep the parts in protective packages until they are  
inserted into the product.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Avoid contact with other people.  
Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to  
eliminate static on your body.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
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.  
Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on  
AC-operated computers.  
Grounding Requirements  
Electrical grounding of the computer is required for oper-  
ator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding  
of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified  
electrician.

plied.  
28 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged  
battery ASM; then check that power is supplied by the  
battery ASM.  
If you suspect a power problem, refer the the appropriate  
power supply check listed below:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
“Checking the AC Adapter”  
“Checking the Operational Charging”  
“Checking the Battery ASM” on page 30  
Checking the AC Adapter: You are here  
because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is  
used:  
Ÿ
If the power problem occurs only when the ThinkPad  
Port Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature.  
Ÿ
If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the  
power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity  
and installation.  
Ÿ
If the operational charge does not work, go to  
“Checking the Operational Charging.”  
Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and  
measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter  
cable. See the following figure.  
Pin  
1
Voltage (V dc)  
+14.5 to +17.0  
Ground  
2
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter.  
If the voltage is within the range, do the following:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Replace the DC-DC & BATT board.  
Replace the planar board.  
If the problem is not corrected, go to “Undetermined  
Problems” on page 40  
Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not  
always indicate a defective adapter.  
Checking the Operational Charging: To  
check operational charging, use a discharged battery pack  
(Battery ASM) or a Battery ASM that has less than 50% of  
the total power remaining when installed in the computer.  
ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700 29  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator  
does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it return  
to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM.  
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the  
Battery ASM. If the charge indicator still does not turn on,  
replace the DC-DC & BATT board, then the planar board.  
Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the reinstalled Battery  
ASM is not charged, go to the next section.  
Checking the Battery ASM: Battery ASM  
charging will not start until the Fuel-Gauge shows that less  
than 95% of the total power remains; with this condition,  
the Battery ASM can charge to 100% of its capacity. This  
protects the Battery ASM from being overcharged or  
having a shortened life.  
Do the following:  
1. Power off the computer.  
2. Remove the Battery ASM and measure the voltage  
between battery terminals 1(+) and 7(-). See the fol-  
lowing figure:  
Note: Signal lines, not used in these steps, are used  
for communications between the system and  
the battery.  
3. If the voltage is less than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V  
(NiMH), the Battery ASM has been discharged,  
recharge the Battery ASM. If the voltage is still less  
than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V (NiMH), replace the  
battery.  
4. If the voltage is more than 10.6V (Li-Ion) or 9.6V  
(NiMH), measure the resistance between battery ter-  
minals 5 and 7. The resistance must be 390 ohm  
(Li-Ion) or 4 to 3K ohm. If the resistance is not  
correct, replace the Battery ASM. If the resistance is  
correct, replace the DC-DC & BATT board then the  
planar board.  
TrackPoint Checkout  
If the external mouse is connected, the TrackPoint does  
not work. In this case, please detach the external mouse to  
check the TrackPoint.  
30 ThinkPad 390/i Series 1700  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If this does not correct the TrackPoint problem, continue  
with the following.  
After you use the TrackPoint, the pointer drifts on the  
screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement  
can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the  
TrackPoint pointer. This symptom is not a hardware  
problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer  
movement stops ina short period of time.  
If a click button problem or pointing stick problem occurs,  
do the following:  
1. Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the PQA  
program (please refer to “PQA System Diagnostics”  
on page 42).  
2. Go to Pointing Dev. in the test items.  
3. Press F2 in the test items.  
4. Follow the instructions in the message window.  
If either the pointing stick or the click button does not work,  
do the following actions one a time to correct the problem.  
Do not replace a non-defective FRU.  
1. Reseat the keyboard cables.  
2. Replace the keyboard.  
3. Replace the planar board.

Intermittent Problems  
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a  
variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware  
defect, such as cosmic radiation, electronic discharge, or  
software errors. FRU replacement should be considered  
only when a recurring problem exists.  
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:  
1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the planar 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, which installed devices are  
incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether  
the system is inoperative. Follow these procedures to  
isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).  
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the  
failure is operating correctly. (See “Power System  
Checkout” on page 28).  
1. Power off the computer.  
2. Visually check them for damage. If any problems are  
found, replace the FRU.  
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:  
a. Non-IBM devices  
b. Devices attached to the ThinkPad Port  
Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature  
c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices  
d. Battery ASM  
e. Hard disk drive  
f. DIMM  
g. CD-ROM and Diskette Drive (FDD ASM) in the  
Combobay (UltraBay FX)  
h. PC Cards (PCMCIA)  
4. Power on the computer.  
5. Determine if 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 non-defective FRU.  
a. Planar board  
b. LCD panel ASM  
c. CPU card

CE Utility Program Diskette  
Setting the LCD Panel ID  
There is an EEPROM in the inverter which stores its sup-  
ported LCD type ID code. If you replace a LCD with one of  
a different brand or use a new inverter, the ID information  
in the inverter EEPROM should be updated.  
Follow the steps below to set the LCD Panel ID:  
1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.  
2. Select LCD Panel ID Utility from PC DOS 7.0  
Startup Menu.  
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to read the  
current or to set a new LCD Panel ID code.  
Note: When you set a new LCD Panel ID and the  
new LCD is not yet enabled (to function),  
connect an external CRT to see the program  
execution process.  
Attention: Make sure the new ID code you choose  
corresponds to the LCD brand and type. If you write a  
wrong ID into the inverter, just reboot and re-execute  
the program and input the correct ID code.  
4. Restart the computer — the new LCD should work  
normally.  
Note: If the LCD cannot display after changing the ID  
code, make sure you write the correct ID code or  
try reconnecting the LCD FPC cable connectors.  
Setting the Thermal Sensor  
The system is equipped with sensors to protect against  
system overheating. By setting the system and processor  
thermal thresholds, the system can turn on the cooling Fan  
ASM or shut down automatically when the temperature  
reaches the defined threshold parameters.  
System experiencing frequent auto sensor shutdown may  
need to reset the thermal sensor threshold and execute  
the Fan ASM test to ensure the normal operation of the  
cooling Fan ASM (refer to “Fan Diagnostics” on page 46).  
Follow the steps below to set the thermal threshold:  
1. Boot from the Utility Program Diskette.  
2. Select Thermal Sensor Utility from PC DOS 7.0  
Startup menu, then press F4..  
Writing the VPD Data  
The EEPROM on the planar board contains the Vital  
Product Data (VPD) — that is, a system unit serial number  
and a planar board serial number. When you replace the  
planar board, restore the system unit serial number using  
the VPD Data Utility in the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette.  
The serial number label is attached to the computer.
