Read This First (XD) #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.27

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read this section.

Attention Important Notes

  • 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.

Keyboard/Auxiliary Input Device Checkout (XD) #

Source: Hardware Maintenance Manual Volume 4: ThinkPad Computers, p.43

Remove the external keyboard if the internal keyboard is to be tested.

If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected character appears, make sure that the three flexible cables extending from the keyboard are correctly seated in the connectors on the keyboard card.

If the keyboard cable connections are correct, you can run on TP-2635 the - Keyboard Test by doing the following:

  1. Go to the diagnostic menu screen by selecting Test in the Easy-Setup screen.
  2. Press Ctrl+A. The ThinkPad FRU Connections screen appears. (If the Ctrl+A does not work, triple-click on the icon on the right bottom corner on the basic diagnostic screen.)
  3. Make sure that the keyboard connection is Connected, then press Esc to escape the screen.
  4. A layout of the keyboard appears on the screen. Check that when each key is pressed, the key's position on the keyboard layout on the screen changes to a black square.

    Note: When a Fn key is pressed, a black square briefly appears.

  5. Press Ctrl+Pause to end the test.

If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a nondefective FRU.

  • Reseat the keyboard flexible cable.
  • Replace the keyboard assembly.
  • Replace the subcard.
  • Replace the system board.

TrackPoint III Checkout (XD) #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.40

If the TrackPoint III will not work, check the configuration in the ThinkPad Features program. If the configuration of the TrackPoint III is disabled, select Enable to enable it.

If this does not correct the TrackPoint III problem, continue with the following steps.

The TrackPoint III does automatic compensations to adjust the pointer sensor. During this process, the pointer moves on the screen automatically for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint III pointer while the computer is powered on or while the system is running, or when re-adjustment is required because the temperature has exceeded its normal temperature range. This symptom does not indicate a hardware problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

If a click button problem or pointing stick problem occurs, do the following:

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

If either the pointing stick or the click button do not work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

  • Reseat the keyboard card cables.
  • Replace the keyboard.
  • Replace the keyboard (if TP-2635 the Sub) card.
  • Replace the system board.

  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 #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.41

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.
  2. Remove the failing devices from the replicator.
  3. Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached.
  4. Remove the port replicator from the computer.
  5. Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer. (If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.)
  6. Go to General Checkout and follow that procedure.
  7. If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error, suspect a problem with the port replicator or the system expansion bus.
  8. Power-off the computer and reconnect the port replicator.
  9. 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.
  10. If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette drive attachment unit. If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the system board.
  11. 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 #

  • 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.

  5. Power off the computer and reinstall the DIMM, then power on the computer. Verify the memory size, then test the memory. If an error appears, replace the DIMM.

If memory problems occur intermittently, make sure the DIMM socket latches are latched completely. If the DIMM latches are securely latched, use the loop option to repeat the test. When the test detects an error, an error log is printed on the printer connected to the parallel port.

System Board Checkout #

Source: Hardware Maintenance Manual Volume 3: ThinkPad Computers, p.203

The processing functions are performed by the system board. When a numeric code calls the system board as a FRU, use the following procedure to isolate the problem.

  1. Run the system board test to verify the symptom. This test verifies the system board. If no error is detected, return to Checkout Guide.
  2. If FRU code 10 appears, replace the system board.
  3. Rerun the test to verify the fix.

If this procedure does not correct the problem, go to Undetermined Problems.

Checking the Installed Devices List (XD) #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.58

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.

Power Systems Checkout #

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)

Diagnostics screen of device icons showing an error: a large X beside SystemBoard with DEV 001, FRU 02 and ERR 0010 below it, while Memory shows OK

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.

Intermittent Problems (XD) #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.55

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.

FRU Removals and Replacements #

Source: ThinkPad 380XD and 385XD (2635) Hardware Maintenance Manual, p.66

Transcribed from the Hardware Maintenance Manual Volume 3: ThinkPad Computers, p.228 (ThinkPad 380, 380D, 385, 385D).

This section contains information about removals and replacements.

  • Do not damage any parts. Only certified and trained personnel should service the computer.
  • The arrows in the “Removals and Replacements” section show the direction of movement to remove a FRU, or to turn a screw to release the FRU. The arrows are marked in numeric order, in square callouts, to show the correct sequence of removal.
  • When other FRUs must be removed before removing the failing FRU, they are listed at the top of the page.
  • To replace a FRU, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to replacement. See Locations for internal cable connections and arrangement information.
  • When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size as shown in the procedures.

Safety Notice 1: Translation

Before the computer is powered-on after FRU replacement, 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 listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical short circuits.

Safety Notice 3: Translation

The battery pack contains small amounts of nickel. Do not disassemble it, throw it into fire or water, or short-circuit it. Dispose of the battery pack as required by local ordinances or regulations.

Safety Notice 8: Translation

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.

Safety Notice 4: Translation

The lithium battery can cause a fire, explosion, or severe burn. Do not recharge it, remove its polarized connector, disassemble it, heat it above 100°C (212°F), incinerate it, or expose its cell contents to water. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only the battery in the appropriate parts listing. Use of an incorrect battery can result in ignition or explosion of the battery.

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.

FEATURES

Type, Model, Stage Machines Affected With and/or B/M Feature/Device Description B/M to be Installed Service Hours System Hours
2635 B/M9999999 ALL MODELS B/M9999999 00.7 00.5

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.

The table of replacement TFT FRUs that followed here was lost when this ECA was captured from IBM's support site, and the ECA is not reproduced in the ThinkPad 380/385 Hardware Maintenance Manuals. The 12.1-inch TFT LCD FRUs for these models are listed in Hardware Maintenance Manual Volume 4: ThinkPad Computers, p.121 (and p.124 for the 380E/380ED/385E/385ED).

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.

How to Disable the Power-On Password

  1. Power off the computer.
  2. Turn the computer upside down, loosen the DIMM cover screw 1, remove the DIMM cover 2, then power-on the computer by applying a short across the power-on password jumper pads 3.

    Underside of the computer: loosen the DIMM cover screw (1) and lift off the cover (2); an inset shows shorting the power-on password jumper pads (3) with a tool tip

  3. Verify that the password prompt does not appear.

To reactivate the password, set the password again.

Power Shutdown Switch

The power shutdown switch resets the system regardless of the microcode status and forces the power off. Use this push button to power-off when power is not completely off or the microcode is in a hung state.

Safety Notice 1. #

Warning Safety Notice 1

Before the computer is powered-on after FRU replacement, 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 listening 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.

Warning Safety Notice 7

Though main batteries have low voltage, a shorted or grounded battery can produce enough current to burn combustible materials or personnel.

Bien que le voltage des batteries principales soit peu élevé, le court-circuit ou la mise à la masse d'une batterie peut produire suffisamment de courant pour brûler des matériaux combustibles ou causer des brûlures corporelles graves.

Obwohl Hauptbatterien eine niedrige Spannung haben, können sie doch bei Kurzschluß oder Erdung genug Strom abgeben, um brennbare Materialien zu entzünden oder Verletzungen bei Personen hervorzurufen.

Sebbene le batterie di alimentazione siano a basso voltaggio, una batteria in corto circuito o a massa può fornire corrente sufficiente da bruciare materiali combustibili o provocare ustioni ai tecnici di manutenzione.

Aunque las baterías principales tienen un voltaje bajo, una batería cortocircuitada o con contacto a tierra puede producir la corriente suficiente como para quemar material combustible o provocar quemaduras en el personal.
