Maintenance Manual
Introduction
Important Service Information
Important
Diskette fixes are customer-installable. The diskette
fixes are posted on the IBM support site
http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/ .
Advise customers to contact the PC Company
HelpCenter at 800-772-2227 if they need assistance
in obtaining or installing any diskette fixes.
Customers in Canada should call IBM HelpPC at
800-565-3344 for assistance or download
information.
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:
v
If you are instructed to replace a FRU and that 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 the first board
that you replaced does not correct the problem, reinstall
the original board, then replace the other (processor or
system) board.
v
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 symptoms change.
Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms.
Attention:
A customized setup configuration (other than
default settings) may exist on the computer you are
servicing. Running Automatic Configuration may alter those
settings. Note the current configuration settings (using the
View Configuration option) and verify that the settings are
in place when service is complete.
1
Page 8
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 displayed.
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
highlighted in this index. Some digits will represent
different information for SCSI errors versus non-SCSI
errors.
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.

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.

General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
v
Observe good housekeeping in the area of the
machines during and after maintenance.
v
When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safety 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.
v
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
Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other
people will not trip over it.
v
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.
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.
v
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.
v
After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels,
and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is
worn or defective.
v
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 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.
12
ThinkPad R Series HMM
Page 19
v
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near
equipment that has hazardous voltages.
v
Disconnect all power before:
­ Performing a mechanical inspection
­ Working near power supplies
­ Removing or installing main units
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.
v
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 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
Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
v
Never assume that power has been disconnected from
a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.
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.
v
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.
ThinkPad R Series

Page 20
v
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 Inspection Guide
The intent of this inspection guide is to assist you in
identifying potentially unsafe conditions on these products.
Each machine, as it was designed and built, had required
safety items installed to protect users and service
personnel from injury. This guide addresses only those
items. However, good judgment should be used to identify
potential 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:
v
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary
voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock).
v
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or
bulging capacitor.
v
Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing
hardware.
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
14
ThinkPad R Series HMM
Page 21
continuity 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 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.
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
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
Avoid contact with other people.
v
Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to
eliminate static on your body.
v
Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most
clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.
v
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.
v
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.
ThinkPad R Series
15
Page 22
­ 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
operator safety and correct system function. Proper
grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a
certified electrician.

Checkout guide
Use the following procedure as a guide for computer
problems.
Note:
The diagnostic tests are intended to test only IBM
products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or
modified options can give false errors and invalid
system responses.
1. Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as
possible.
2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate the
failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating
the same 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 of PC-Doctor.
This section is an overview on detecting the problem.
Refer to "Product overview" on page 39 for details that
depend on model-unique functions.
To run the test, do the following:
Note:
In the following procedure, you can select an item
not only with the arrow keys, but also with the
TrackPoint. Instead of pressing
Enter
, you also can
click the left click button.
1. Insert the PC-Doctor DOS Disk into the diskette drive;
then power on the computer.
If the computer cannot be powered on, go to "Power
systems checkout" on page 35 and check the power
sources.
If an error code appears, go to "Symptom-to-FRU
Index" on page 44.
The PC-Doctor main panel appears.
2. Select
Diagnostics
with the arrow keys, and press
Enter
.
A pull-down menu appears:
Note:
The pull-down menu differs depending on the
model.
3. Run the applicable function test.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen. If there is a
problem, PC-Doctor shows some messages.
5. Reseat the cable or connector of the detected FRU
and run the test again.
ThinkPad R Series
33
Page 40
If the error recurs, replace the FRU that caused the
error.
Note:
With some FRUs, especially the system board,
the problem may be caused by peripheral
FRUs. Verify that each peripheral FRU, such as
the flexible cable, has no problem by doing the
following:
a. Replace each peripheral FRU one at a time,
and run the test again.
b. If the peripheral FRUs have no problem,
replace the main FRU itself.
To see the FRU structure of each model,
refer to "Product overview" on page 39.
6. To exit the test, select
Quit ­ Exit Diag
.
To cancel the test, press

To verify the symptom of the power problem on the
computer, do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Connect the AC Adapter.
4. Check that power is supplied when you power on the
computer.
5. Power off the computer.
6. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged
battery pack.
7. Check that power is supplied by the battery pack when
you power on the computer.
If you suspect a power problem, refer the appropriate
power supply check listed below:
v
"Checking the AC Adapter"
v
"Checking operational charging" on page 36
v
"Checking the Battery ASM" on page 37
Checking the AC Adapter
You care here because the computer fails only when the
AC Adapter is used:
ThinkPad R Series
35
Page 42
v
If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the
power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and
installation.
v
If the operational charge does not work, go to "Checking
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
Voltage (V dc)

15.5 V. - 17.0 V.
2
Ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter.
If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
v
Replace the system board.
v
If the problems still persist, go to "Undetermined
Problems" on page 57.
Note:
An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not
always indicate a defect.
Checking 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.
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator
or icon does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it
return to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM. If
the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace
the Battery ASM.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the
system board. Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the
reinstalled Battery ASM is not charged, go to the next
section.

Checking the Battery ASM
Note:
The Battery ASM may not be able to charged 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 it 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 6 (-). See the
following figure.

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 8V for NiMH, 9V for LiION,
measure the resistance between battery terminals 5
and 6. The resistance must be 4 to 30K
. If the

If the TrackPoint does not work, see if an
external PS/2 mouse is connected to the
mouse/keyboard connector and remove
it. The TrackPoint is automatically
disabled if an external PS/2 mouse is
attached. Check also if the TrackPoint
driver is correctly installed by accessing
Windows Device Manager via the System
icon in the Control Panel.
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 in a short period of time.

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 only be
considered when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing on intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board at least
10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the
test to verify that there are no more errors.
Undetermined Problems
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 the procedures below to isolate the
failing FRU.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the
failure is operating correctly.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Check the cables, wires, and connectors for short
circuits and open circuits. Visually check them for
damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
v
Non-IBM devices
ThinkPad R Series

v
Printer, external mouse & keyboard, and other
external devices
v
Battery pack
v

v

v
PC Card (PCMCIA)
4. Power on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not occur again, 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.

failing FRU are listed at the top of the page.
v
To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure and
follow any notes that pertain to replacement. See
"Locations" on page 86 for internal cable connections
and arrangement information.
v
When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size, as
shown in the procedure.
