section.  
Important notes  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
Only certified trained personnel should  
service the computer.  
Read the entire FRU removal and replacement  
page before replacing any FRU.  
Use new nylon-coated screws when you  
replace FRUs.  
Be extremely careful during such write  
operations as copying, saving, or formatting.  
Drives in the computer that you are servicing  
might have been rearranged, or the drive startup  
sequence might have been altered. If you select  
an incorrect drive, data or programs might be  
overwritten.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Replace FRUs only for the correct model.  
When you replace a FRU, make sure the model  
of the machine and the FRU part number are  
correct by referring to the FRU parts list.  
A FRU should not be replaced because of a  
single, unreproducible failure. Single failures  
can occur for a variety of reasons that have  
nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as  
cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or  
software errors. Consider replacing a FRU only  
when a problem recurs. If this is suspected,  
clear the error log and run the test again. Do not  
replace any FRUs if log errors do not reappear.  
Ÿ
Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.  
What to do first: When you do return a FRU, you  
must include the following information in the parts  
exchange form or parts return form that you attach to it:  
1. Name and phone number of servicer  
2. Date of service  
3. Date on which the machine failed  
4. Date of purchase  
5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on the  
display, and beep symptoms  
6. Procedure index and page number in which the  
failing FRU was detected  
7. Failing FRU name and part number  
8. Machine type, model number, and serial number  
9. Customer's name and address

Passwords  
As many as three passwords may be needed for any  
ThinkPad computers: the power-on password (POP), the  
hard disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password  
(PAP).  
When the power-on password (POP), the hard disk  
password (HDP), or the supervisor password (PAP) is  
used, the following situations may occur:  
If the PAP is used, the HDP is enabled automatically, but  
no HDP prompt appears. The HDP is set the same as the  
PAP.  
Ÿ
If the POP is the same as the HDP, the POP  
prompt appears, but the HDP prompt does not  
appear.  
Ÿ
If the POP is not the same as the HDP, both  
prompts appear.  
If a ThinkPad computer has an extra bay, it can support  
more than two HDPs. Then the following situations will  
occure:  
Ÿ
If the POP is the same as one of the HDPs (HDP-1  
or HDP-2), a POP prompt appears. The passwords  
are different.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
If the POP is not the same as either of the HDPs  
(HDP-1 or HDP-2), both prompts appear.  
If the PAP is used, the HDP-1 or the HDP-2 is  
automatically enabled, but the HDP prompt does not  
appear. The HDP-1 or the HDP-2 are then set to the  
same password as the PAP.

Supervisor and hard disk passwords: The  
supervisor password (PAP) and the hard disk password  
(HDP) are security features that are used to protect the  
system and the hard disk data from unauthorized access.  
No overriding capability is provided. If only a hard disk  
password is set, you must get the password from its owner  
in order to run diagnostic tests and perform service. If  
both the supervisor password and the hard disk password  
are set, you can enter Easy-Setup by pressing the Enter  
key or by entering the power-on password at the  
supervisor password prompt. In this case, the Password,  
Start up, Network, and Initialize or Asset ID (for some  
models) icons cannot be selected.  
Note: The supervisor password and the hard disk  
password cannot be replaced if they are forgotten.  
If the customer forgets the supervisor password,  
the system board must be replaced. If the  
customer forgets the hard disk password, the hard  
disk drive must be replaced.  
How to remove the power-on passwords:  
If only the power-on password is set, do the following to  
remove it:  
1. Turn off the computer.  
2. Remove the DIMM cover from the bottom of the  
computer.  
3. Short-circuit the two password pads or put the jumper  
on the pins.  
For the location of the password pads or the jumper,  
see “Password pads” on page 68.  
4. Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends.  
After the POST ends, the password prompt does not  
appear. The power-on password has been removed.

Checkout guide  
Use the following procedures as a guide in identifying and  
correcting problems with the ThinkPad computer.  
Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only IBM  
products. The use of non-IBM products, prototype  
cards, or modified options can lead to false  
indications of errors and invalid system responses.  
1. Identify the failing symptoms in as much detail as  
possible.  
2. Verify the symptoms. Try to re-create the failure by  
running the diagnostic test or by repeating the  
operation.  
Testing the computer  
The ThinkPad computer has a test program called  
PC-Doctor DOS (hereafter called PC-Doctor). You can  
detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in  
PC-Doctor. This section is an overview of the procedure.  
For details that depend on model-unique functions, refer to  
“Product overview” on page 13.  
For some possible configurations of the computer,  
PC-Doctor might not run correctly. To avoid this problem,  
you need to initialize the computer setup by Easy-Setup  
before you run PC-Doctor. In the Easy-Setup screen, click  
Config and Initialize.  
Note: When you initialize the computer configuration,  
some devices are disabled, such as the serial port.  
If you test one of these devices, you need to  
enable it by using PS2.EXE.  
PC-Doctor does not support the test for the device in the  
SelectaDock docking station.  
You can test the device in the docking station with an  
advanced test in Easy-Setup that is supported by the  
ThinkPad 600, 600E, or 770x series.  
To run such a test,  
Ÿ
Remove a device from the bay of the docking station  
and install it in the bay of the 600 or 600E computer.  
Then start Easy-Setup.

Ÿ
Ÿ
Ÿ
“Checking the ac adapter”  
“Checking operational charging”  
“Checking the battery pack” on page 11  
“Checking the backup battery” on page 12  
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 port  
replicator is used, replace the port replicator.  
If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the  
power cord of the ac adapter for correct continuity  
and installation.  
Ÿ
Ÿ
If the computer does not charge during operation, go  
to “Checking operational charging.”  
1. 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:  
(16 - 10 V)  
Pin  
1
Voltage (V dc)  
+15.5 to +17.0  
Ground

If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac adapter.  
If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
Replace the system board.  
If the problem persists, go to “Product overview”  
on page 13.  
Note: Noise from the ac adapter does not always indicate  
a defect.  
Checking operational charging: To check  
operational charging, 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 the  
reinstalled battery pack is not charged, go to the next  
section.  
Checking the battery pack: Battery charging  
does not start until the Fuel Gauge 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.  
Note: The battery pack might not be able to charge when  
it is hot. In that case, remove it from the computer  
and leave it at room temperature for a while. After  
it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.  
Do the following:  
1. Power off the computer.  
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage  
between battery terminals 1 (+) and 4 (). See the  
following figure:  
Terminal  
Voltage (V dc)  
+ 0 to + 12.6  
Ground ()

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack  
has been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.  
Note: It takes at least 3 hours to recharge the  
battery pack.  
If the voltage is still less than +11.0 V dc after  
recharging, replace the battery.  
4. If the voltage is more than +11.0 V dc, measure the  
resistance between battery terminals 3 and 4. The  
resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.  
If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery  
pack. If the resistance is correct, replace the system  
board.

Checking the backup battery: Do the following:  
1. Power off the computer, and unplug the ac adapter  
from it.  
2. Turn the computer upside down.  
3. Remove the backup battery  
Note: Removing the backup battery will cause loss  
of configuration data unless the battery pack  
is installed and operational.  
(see “Checking the battery pack” on page 11).  
4. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the  
following figure.

Port replicator checkout  
Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator  
problem. The port replicator attaches to the system  
expansion connector at the rear of the computer:  
1. Power off the computer.  
2. Remove the failing devices from the port replicator.  
3. Unplug the AC Adapter from the port replicator, if it is  
attached.  
4. Remove the port replicator from the computer.  
5. Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer.  
(If another device is already connected to the  
computer, remove it first.)  
6. Go to “Testing the computer” on page 7 and run the  
diagnostics.  
7. If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find  
an error, suspect a problem with the port replicator.  
8. Power off the computer, and reconnect the port  
replicator.  
9. Power on the computer, and run the following  
advanced diagnostic tests:

test cable

10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the port replicator  
or the diskette drive. If the problem remains after the  
replacement, replace the system board.  
11. If power problems appear only when the port  
replicator is used, replace the port replicator.  
Power overload: If power shutdown occurs  
intermittently when PC Card devices are used through a  
port replicator with PC Card slots, suspect a problem with  
over-current. Some PC Card devices use more power; if  
the maximum use of each device occurs simultaneously,  
the total current will exceed the limit, causing a power  
shutdown. Isolate this problem by removing one of the  
devices, and using the computer under the same condition.  
If a power shutdown occurs, you have found the cause of  
the problem. If not, do this procedure for all the other  
devices until you determine the cause.

Symptom-to-FRU error messages  
Symptom-to-FRU error messages  
This chapter describes the Symptom-to-FRU error  
messages.  
How to use error messages  
Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose  
failures.  
If two or more error codes are displayed, begin the  
diagnosis with the first one. Whatever caused the first  
error code can cause false error codes to be displayed.  
If no error code is displayed, see if the error symptom is  
listed in the “Symptom-to-FRU index.”  
How to diagnose multiple FRUs  
When an adapter or a device has more than one FRU, the  
error code could be caused by any of them. Before  
replacing multiple FRUs, try removing or exchanging each  
FRU, one by one in the specified sequence, to see if the  
symptoms change.  
Symptom-to-FRU index  
The symptom-to-FRU index lists the symptoms and errors  
and their possible causes. The most likely cause is listed  
first.  
Note: Do the FRU replacements or other actions in the  
sequence shown in the “FRU/Action in Sequence”  
column. If a FRU replacement 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 code is displayed for each error detected  
in POST or system operation. In the displays, X can be  
any number.  
If no numeric codes is presented, use the narrative  
descriptions of symptoms.  
If a symptom is not listed, go to “Undetermined problems”  
on page 31.  
Note  
For an IBM device not supported by diagnostic codes  
in the ThinkPad notebook computers, see the manual  
for that device.

Note: If you cannot find a symptom or an error in this list  
and the problem remains, see “Undetermined  
problems.”  
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, 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 advanced diagnostic test for the system  
board in loop mode at least 10 times.  
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.  
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by  
the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more  
errors exist.  
Undetermined problems  
You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify  
which adapter or device failed, installed devices are  
incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the system is  
inoperative. Follow these procedures to isolate the failing  
FRU (do not isolate nondefective FRUs).

Retaining serial numbers  
This section includes the following descriptions:  
Ÿ
Ÿ
“Restoring serial number of the system unit”  
“Retaining the UUID”  
Restoring 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. The  
system serial number must remain the same throughout  
the life of the computer.  
When you replace the system board, you must restore the  
system unit serial number 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 1.60 and restart the computer.  
2. From the main menu, select 1. Set System  
Identification.  
3. Select 2. Read S/N data from EEPROM.  
The serial number for each device is displayed. Write  
down the serial number of the system unit, designated as  
follows:  
20: System unit serial number  
After you have replaced the system board, restore the  
serial number by doing the following:  
1. Install the ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette  
Version 1.60 and restart the computer.  
2. From the main menu, select 1. Set System  
Identification.  
3. Select 1. Add S/N data from EEPROM.  
Follow the instructions on the screen.  
Note: The serial number of the system unit is written on  
the label attached on the bottom of the computer.  
Retaining the UUID: The Universally Unique  
IDentifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number uniquely assigned to  
your computer at production and stored in the EEPROM of  
your system board. The algorithm that generates the  
unique 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:

removed before the failing FRU. Any such FRUs are  
listed at the top of the page. Remove them in the  
orders in which they are listed.  
4. Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing  
the FRU, as indicated in the drawings by the numbers  
in square callouts.  
5. When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the  
direction indicated by the arrow in the drawing.  
6. When removing the FRU, move it in the direction  
indicated by the arrow in the drawing.  
7. To put the new FRU in place, reverse the removal  
procedure and follow any notes that pertain to  
replacement. For information about connecting and  
arranging internal cables, see “Locations” on  
page 65.  
8. When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw as  
shown in the procedures.  
Caution  
Before removing any FRU, power off the computer,  
unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove  
the battery pack, and then disconnect any  
interconnecting cables.  
Caution  
The battery pack contains small amounts of nickel.

Important  
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:  
Ÿ
XGA (13.3"): 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more  
dark dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark  
dots.
