Diagnostic Error Codes #

If an error is detected, the following appears:

  • Large X on the left side of the device icon.
  • Device ID (three digit)
  • Error code (two digit)
  • FRU code (four digit)

c78vztes 

The device ID and error code are used to indicate the detail portion of the FRU which caused the error. If replacing a FRU does not correct the problem, see the device ID or error code from the previous failure. If they have changed, the cause might be because the new FRU is defective or that the FRU was incorrectly installed.

FRU Codes #

If an error is detected by the diagnostic tests, a four-digit FRU code is displayed. The FRU code indicates two suspected FRUs. Replace the FRU that is indicated by the two leftmost digits first, then replace the FRU indicated by the two rightmost digits. No FRU is assigned to code 00. If only one FRU is suspected, the other FRU code is filled with zeros. Replace the FRU that is indicated by the two leftmost digits first, then replace the FRU that is indicated by the two rightmost digits. See the referenced page before replacing the FRU. The suspected FRU name is also displayed on the screen.

Intermittent Problems (XD) #

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 only be considered when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing the 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.

Printer Checkout #

  1. Make sure the printer is correctly connected and is powered-on.
  2. Run the printer self-test.

If the printer self-test does not run correctly, the problem is in the printer. Refer to the printer service manual.

If the printer self-test runs correctly, do the following.

  1. Verify the port settings in configuration.
  2. Install a wrap plug on the port (indicated in configuration)  and run the advanced diagnostic tests.
  3. If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug installed)  do not detect a failure, replace the printer cable. If the problem is not corrected, replace the system board.

Port Replicator Checkout #

Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator problem. A port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector at the rear of the computer.

  1. Power-off the computer.- Remove the failing devices from the replicator.- Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached.- Remove the port replicator from the computer.- Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer.  (If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.)- Go to General Checkout and follow that procedure.- If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error,  suspect a problem with the port replicator  or the system expansion bus.- Power-off the computer and reconnect the port replicator.- Power-on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests:
               - Serial port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.- Parallel port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.- PCMCIA-2 test with the PC test card installed.- FDD-2 (FDD-1 if no drive is installed in the computer)
                        drive test on the failing device.
    
               - If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette
                  drive attachment unit.
    
                  If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the
                  system board.
    
                 - If power problems appear only when using the replicator, replace the
                    replicator.
    

If power shut downs occur intermittently when using PCMCIA-2 devices via a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PCMCIA devices use more power; if the maximum usage of each device occurs simultaneously, the total current will exceed the limit, thereby causing a power shut down. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, and use the computer under the same condition, and see whether a power shut down occurs. Do this procedure for all devices then determine the cause.

Customer purchase of the larger AC adapter (50W, optional) is recommended, if it is not yet in use.

TrackPoint II Checkout #

Note: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust  the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on  the screen and then stop. Pointer  movement might occur when  a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when  the computer is powered-on or running, or  when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment.

  • If the TrackPoint II  does not work, check the configuration.  If the configuration of the TrackPoint II is set to Disabled or Off, change it to Enable or On.

If the problem remains, continue.

NOTE: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust  the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on  the screen and then stop. Pointer  movement might occur when  a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when  the computer is powered-on or running, or  when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment.

  • If the cursor floats or moves erratically, power-off and disconnect the  mouse. Power-on the computer. If the  problem goes away, replace the mouse. If the problem remains, replace the  keyboard.- For click button or pointing stick problems:

    1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen.
    2. Select an item with the pointing stick.
    3. Press either left or right click button.
    4. Verify that both buttons work correctly.

    If the pointing stick or the click button does not work,  do the following.

    1. Reseat the keyboard cables.
    2. Replace the keyboard.
    3. Replace the interposer card (355x, 360x, 750x, 755x).
    4. Replace keyboard control card (720).
    5. Replace the system board.

If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen, the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If the symptom remains, replace the device or the system board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly distinguish the shade of the icon.

If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when NO second FDD is installed), do the following:

  1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as the FDD-1.
  2. If the problem remains, replace the system board.

The PCMCIA, Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in a dark shade because the icons represent subsystems of the system board and not the actual attachment of the devices.

The FDD-1 icon represents the first drive in the system configuration. Similarly, the FDD-2 icon represents the second drive, attached to the external diskette drive connector or through a Port Replicator.

warn

  • Only certified, trained personnel  should service the computer .
  • Read FRU service procedures before replacing any FRUs.
  • Be extremely careful during write operations  such 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 can be written over.
  • Use only the correct FRUs. When you replace the FRU, make sure the model of the machine  and FRU part number are correct by referring to the parts list.
  • FRUs should not be replaced because of a single, un-reproducible  failure. Single failures can occur from 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 only be considered when  a recurring problem exists.  If this is suspected, clear the error log and run the test again.  Do not replace any FRUs if log errors do not reappear.
  • Be careful not to replace a non-defective FRU.

Abstract: 2635 ECA007 - LCD PIXEL POLICY CHANGE.

PURPOSE:

This ECA will be used on Warranty and Non-Warranty systems to replace TFT LCD panels with from 8 to 20 defective pixels.

PHYSICAL CHECK:

TFT LCD panels on systems in the FEATURE SECTION that contain from 8 to 20 defective pixels.

Defective Pixel definition:

Not firing (black), incorrect color firing, or incorrect color always on.

This ECA can not be applied to warranty or non-warranty systems if more then 20 pixels are defective.

Systems with this condition should have the LCD replaced using normal terms and conditions for warranty and non-warranty systems.

PREREQUISITES: NONE

COMPANION: NONE

CONCURRENT: NONE

DETAIL:

The IBM ThinkPad pixel policy pertaining to LCD replacement has changed.

The old policy required 21 or more defective pixels to replace the TFT LCD panel during warranty.

This policy has been revised to read 8 or more defective pixels.

Systems listed in the FEATURE SECTION that follow the PHYSICAL CHECK criteria should use this ECA to replace TFT LCD Panel FRUs that are exhibiting a pixel failure within the new Pixel Policy criteria.

Use the following TFT FRUs as replacements.

+-----------------------------------------+
+-----------------------------------------+

Defective pixels normally occur during the manufacturing process and are not a product of LCD use.

Therefore most conditions are present from the systems first power on.

NOTES: This ECA will expire on 8/31/99.

Order all FRU parts locally, and record Time and Material to service code 33, ECA 007, and OTHER OFFICE 990.
