iv Hardware Maintenance Manual

Chapter 1. Safety information

This chapter presents following safety information that you need to be familiar with before you service a ThinkPad Notebook. General safety on page 1 Electrical safety on page 2 Safety inspection guide on page 3 Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge on page 3 Grounding requirements on page 4 Safety notices (multilingual translations) on page 4

General safety Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

When lifting any heavy object:

1. Make sure that 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 that you think is 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, make sure that other service technicians and the customer's personnel are not in a hazardous position.

Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

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.

Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, about 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.

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.

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.

Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent overheating of internal components. Do not obstruct fan louvers or cover them with labels or stickers.

Copyright Lenovo 2011, 2012 1

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.

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.

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

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: 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; Instructions for these precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

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.

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 Similar units to listed above This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.

If an electrical accident occurs:

2 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Use caution; do not become a victim yourself. Switch off power. Send another person to get medical aid.

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 technicians 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:

Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal electrical shock)

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 the frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the type specified in the parts list.

c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.

5. Remove the cover.

6. Check for any obvious non-ThinkPad alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-ThinkPad alterations.

7. 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.

8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

9. 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.

Chapter 1. Safety information 3

2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

Avoid contact with other people.

Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

Use 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 to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.

Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.

When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an ESD common ground or reference point. 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 operator safety and correct system function. Proper grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Chapter 2. Important service information

This chapter presents following important service information that applies to all machine types supported by this manual: Strategy for replacing FRUs on page 19

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive on page 20 Important notice for replacing a system board on page 20 How to use error message on page 20

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV on page 20 Product definition on page 20 FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products on page 21

Important: Advise customers to contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center if they need any assistance in

obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads. Telephone numbers for Lenovo Support are available at: http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone

System Disassembly/Reassembly videos that show the FRU removals or replacements for the Lenovo authorized service technicians are available in the following support site: http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/

Strategy for replacing FRUs

Before replacing parts:

Make sure that all software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads are installed before replacing any FRUs listed in this manual.

After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest UEFI BIOS is loaded to the system board before completing the service action.

To download software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS, do as follows:

1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.

2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on the screen.

3. Select Downloads & Drivers.

4. Follow the directions on the screen and install the necessary software.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs:

If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall the original FRU before you continue.

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.

If an adapter or a 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.

Copyright Lenovo 2011, 2012 19

Attention: The setup configuration on the computer you are servicing may have been customized. Running Automatic Configuration may alter the settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the View Configuration option); then, when service has been completed, verify that those settings remain in effect.

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive (HDD). This will cause all customer data on the hard disk to be lost. Be sure that the customer has a current backup of the data before doing this task.

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.

Important notice for replacing a system board Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper handling of a system board can cause damage to those components, and may cause a system malfunction.

Attention: When handling a system board:

Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.

Avoid rough handling of any kind.

Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.

How to use error message 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 whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you are servicing.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV

Product definition

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)

This provides the ability for a customer to configure a Lenovo solution from an eSite, and have this configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label, Product Entitlement Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these products as the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = CTO (Example: 1829-CTO).

Custom Model Variant (CMV)

This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between Lenovo and the customer. A unique 4-digit MT and 3-digit model is provided to the customer to place orders (Example: 1829-W15). A CMV is a special bid offering. Therefore, it is NOT generally announced.

The MTM portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = CTO (Example: 1829-CTO). The PRODUCT ID portion of the machine label is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CMV model (Example: 1829-W15).

The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = CTO (Example: 1829-CTO).

eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example: 1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site.)

20 Hardware Maintenance Manual

The HMM will have the 4-digit MT and 3-digit CTO model only (Example: 1829-CTO). Again, CMVs are custom models and are not found in the HMM.

General Announce Variant (GAV)

This is a standard model (fixed configuration). GAVs are announced and offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the machine label is a 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a fixed part number, not CTO (Example: 1829-F1U). Also, PEW, eSupport, and the HMM will list these products under the same fixed model number.

FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products There are three information resources to identify which FRUs are used to support CTO, CMV, and GAV products. These sources are PEW, eSupport, and the Hardware Maintenance Manual.

Using PEW

PEW is the primary source for identifying FRU part numbers and FRU descriptions for the key commodities for CTO, CMV and GAV products at a MT - serial number level. An example of key commodities are hard disk drives, system boards, microprocessors, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs), and memory.

Remember, all CTO and CMV products are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = CTO (Example: 1829-CTO). GAVs are loaded in PEW under the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = a fixed part number, not CTO (Example: 1829-F1U).

PEW can be accessed at the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LOOK-WARNTY Select Warranty lookup. Input the MT and the Serial number and the list of key commodities will be returned in the PEW record under COMPONENT INFORMATION.

Using eSupport

For key commodities (examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)

eSupport can be used to view the warranty status of key commodities built in a particular machine serial (this is the same record found in PEW). eSupport can be accessed at http://www.lenovo.com/support.

To view the warranty status of the key commodities on your computer, do the following:

1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.

2. Click Warranty & Services.

3. Click Check Warranty Status.

4. On the Warranty Status Lookup page, click Parts Lookup.

5. Type your machine type and serial number, and then click Submit.

For the remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT model level)

eSupport also can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type and model.

To view the complete list of FRUs, do the following:

1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.

2. Click Parts & Accessories.

3. Provide your product information or click Launch to automatically identify your product.

4. Click Product & Parts Detail.

5. On the PRODUCT AND PARTS DETAIL page, click Parts Detail to view the complete list of FRUs.

System supporting the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program and the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostics program on page 24

System supporting the Lenovo diagnostics programs on page 28 Power system checkout on page 30

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read the following important notes.

Important notes:

Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.

Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing FRUs.

When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.

Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the computer that you are servicing sequence might have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be overwritten.

Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model. When you replace a FRU, make sure that 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.

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 service technician 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

Note: During the warranty period, the customer may be responsible for repair costs if the computer damage was caused by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper maintenance by the customer. Following is a list of some common items that are not covered under warranty and some symptoms that might indicate that the system was subjected to stress beyond normal use.

Before checking problems with the computer, determine whether the damage is covered under the warranty by referring to the following list:

The following are not covered under warranty: LCD panel cracked from the application of excessive force or from being dropped Scratched (cosmetic) parts

Copyright Lenovo 2011, 2012 23

Distortion, deformation, or discoloration of the cosmetic parts Plastic parts, latches, pins, or connectors that have been cracked or broken by excessive force Damage caused by liquid spilled into the system Damage caused by the improper insertion of a PC Card or the installation of an incompatible card Diskette drive damage caused by pressure on the diskette drive cover, foreign material in the drive,

or the insertion of a diskette with multiple labels Fuses blown by attachment of a nonsupported device Forgotten computer password (making the computer unusable) Sticky keys caused by spilling a liquid onto the keyboard Use of an incorrect ac power adapter on laptop products

The following symptoms might indicate damage caused by nonwarranted activities: Missing parts might be a symptom of unauthorized service or modification. If the spindle of a hard disk drive becomes noisy, it may have been subjected to excessive force,

or dropped.

Checkout guide Use the following procedures as a guide in identifying and correcting problems with the ThinkPad Notebook.

Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only ThinkPad products. The use of non-ThinkPad 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.

System supporting the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program and the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostics program The section provides information about ThinkPad computers that support the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox program and the PC-Doctor for DOS diagnostics program. Some descriptions might not apply to your particular computer.

Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS The ThinkPad notebook computer has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter called PC-Doctor.) You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor.

Note: PC-Doctor for DOS is available at the following Web site:

http://www.lenovo.com/support

3

(20V)

Note: Output voltage across pin 2 of the ac power adapter might differ from the one you are servicing. 3. If the voltage is not correct, replace the ac power adapter. 4. If the voltage is acceptable, do the following:

Replace the system board.

If the problem persists, go to FRU tests on page 27.

Note: Noise from the ac power adapter does not always indicate a defect.

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 Manager Battery Gauge shows that less than 96% 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 your battery, move your cursor to the Power Manager Battery Gauge icon in the icon tray of the Windows taskbar and wait for a moment (but do not click), and the percentage of battery power remaining is displayed. To get detailed information about the battery, double-click the Power Manager Battery Gauge icon.

Note: If the battery pack becomes hot, it may not be able to charge. Remove it from the computer and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it cools down, reinstall and recharge it.

To check the battery pack, do the following: 1. Power off the computer. 2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1 (+) and 7 (-). See the

following figure:

Chapter 3. General checkout 31

Terminal Voltage (V dc)

1 + 0 to + 12.6

7 Ground (-)

1(+) 2(+)

3 4

5 6(-)

7(-)

3. If the voltage is less than +11.0 V dc, the battery pack has been discharged.

Note: Recharging will take at least 3 hours, even if the indicator does not turn on.

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 5 and 7.

The resistance must be 4 to 30 K . 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 power adapter from it.

2. Turn the computer upside down.

3. Remove the battery pack (see 1010 Battery pack on page 52).

4. Remove the backup battery (see 1130 System board assembly, fan assembly, and backup battery on page 66).

5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.

Wire Voltage (V dc)

Red +2.5 to +3.2

Black Ground

If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.

If the voltage is not correct, replace the backup battery.

If the backup battery discharges quickly after replacement, replace the system board.

LCD-related symptoms Important: The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains many thin-film transistors (TFTs). The presence of 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.

If the LCD you are servicing has two or less visible defective pixels, it should not be considered faulty. However, if the LCD has three or more visible defective pixels, it will be deemed as defective by Lenovo and it should be replaced.

Notes: This policy applies to all ThinkPad Notebooks purchased on 1 January, 2008 or later. Lenovo will not provide replacement if the LCD is within specification as we cannot guarantee that any

replacement LCD will have zero pixel defects. One pixel consists of R, G, B sub-pixels.

Ensure torque screwdrivers are calibrated correctly following country specifications.

Retaining serial numbers This topic provides instructions on the following:

Restoring the serial number of the system unit on page 48 Retaining the UUID on page 49 Reading or writing the ECA information on page 49

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 board to its original value.

Before replacing the system board, save the original serial number by doing the following:

1. Install the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 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 board is listed is listed as 20: Serial number.

Write down that number.

Note: The serial number of the system board 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 LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 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.

If the MTM and Product ID numbers differ from each other on the rear label, use what is shown for the Product ID field. See example below:

48 Hardware Maintenance Manual

MTM on the rear label:

TTTT-CTO S/N SSSSSSS

Product ID on the rear label:

TTTT-MMM (Use this number when setting the serial number)

In the example, the Serial Number to be input is 1STTTTMMMSSSSSSS.

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 by doing the following:

1. Install the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 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 will not be overwritten.

Reading or writing the ECA information Information on Engineering Change Announcements (ECA) is stored in the EEPROM of the system board. The electronic storage of this information simplifies the procedure to check if an engineering change has been previously applied to a computer.

To check what engineering changes have been previously applied to the machine, use the ECA information read/write function on the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 or later.

1. Insert the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 or later, and restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 6. Set ECA Information.

3. To read the ECA information, select 2. Read ECA/rework number from EEPROM and follow the instruction.

4. To read the box build date, select 5. Read box build date from EEPROM, and follow the instructions on the computer.

After an engineering change is applied to the machine, the EEPROM must be updated. Use the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 or later to update the EEPROM.

Note: Only the ECA number is stored in the EEPROM. The machine type of the ECA is assumed to be the same as the machine type of the machine that had the engineering change applied to it.

1. Insert the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 or later, and restart the computer.

2. From the main menu, select 6. Set ECA Information.

3. To write ECA information, select 1. Write ECA/rework 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 board. If the system board is inoperable, this will not be possible.

1130 System board assembly, fan assembly, and backup battery Important notices for handling the system board:

When handling the system board, bear the following in mind.

The system board has an accelerometer, which can be broken if several thousands of G-forces are applied.

Note: Dropping a system board from a height of as little as 6 inches so that it falls flat on a hard bench can subject the accelerometer to as much as 6,000 G's of shock.

Be careful not to drop the system board on a bench top that has a hard surface, such as metal, wood, or composite.

If a system board is dropped, test it using PC-Doctor for DOS if the system supports PC-Doctor for DOS, to make sure that the HDD Active Protection System still functions.

Note: If the test shows that the HDD Active Protection System is not functioning, be sure to document the drop in any reject report, and replace the system board.

66 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Avoid rough handling of any kind.

At every point in the process, be sure not to drop or stack the system board.

If you put a system board down, be sure to put it only on a padded surface such as an ESD mat or a corrugated conductive surface.

If the system supports PC-Doctor for DOS, after replacing the system board, run PC-Doctor for DOS to make sure that the HDD Active Protection System still functions. The procedure is as follows:

1. Place the computer on a horizontal surface.

2. Run Diagnostics ThinkPad Devices HDD Active Protection Test.

Attention: Do not apply physical shock to the computer while the test is running.

Chapter 10. Parts list

This chapter contains following lists of the service parts. Overall on page 82 LCD FRUs on page 88 Keyboard on page 90 Miscellaneous parts on page 91 ac power adapters on page 92 Power cords on page 92 Recovery discs on page 93 Common service tools on page 99

Notes: Each FRU is available for all types or models, unless specific types or models are specified. FRU with specific models listed and described as xxU (where U is an example of a country designator) should be

used for all models ending in U. FRU with specific models listed and described as 3Dx (where 3D is an example of a unique configuration) should be

used for all of these models, unless specific country or region designator is specified. A CRU (customer replaceable unit) is identified by a single asterisk (*) or two asterisks (**) in the CRU ID column. An

N in the CRU ID column means that the part is not a CRU. A single asterisk (*) means that the part is a Self-service CRU; two asterisks (**) means that the part is an Optional-service CRU.

External CRU statement to customers: Some problems with your product can be resolved with a replacement part you can install yourself, called a Customer Replaceable Unit or CRU. Some CRUs are designated as Self-service CRUs and others are designated as Optional-service CRUs. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility; you may request that Lenovo installs an Optional-service CRU according to the warranty service for your product. Where you are installing the CRU, Lenovo will ship the CRU to you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. You may find a list of CRUs in the publications that ship with your product or at http://www.lenovo.com/CRUs. You may be required to return the defective part that is replaced by the CRU. When return is required: (1) return instructions, a prepaid shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and (2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if Lenovo does not receive the defective part within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. See your Lenovo Limited Warranty documentation for full details.

ThinkPad computers contain the following types of CRUs: Self-service CRUs: These CRUs unplug or are held by no more than two screws. Examples of these types

of CRUs include the ac power adapter, power cord, battery, and hard disk drive. Other Self-service CRUs depending on product design may include the memory module, wireless card, keyboard, and palm rest with finger print reader and touchpad.

Optional-service CRUs: These CRUs are isolated parts within the computer that are concealed by an access panel that is typically secured by more than two screws. Once the access panel is removed, the specific CRU is visible.

FRUs marked with OP are available as options.
