General safety guidelines  
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and property damage.  
Service  
Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center.  
Use only a service provider who is approved to repair your particular product.  
Note: Some parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. These parts are referred to as Customer  
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo expressly identifies CRUs as such, and provides  
documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for customers to replace those parts. You  
must closely follow all instructions when performing such replacements. The Off state of a power  
indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a product are zero. Always make  
sure that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source before  
you attempt the replacement. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support  
Center.  
Power cords and power adapters  
Use only the power cords and power adapters supplied by the product manufacturer.  
Never wrap a power cord around the power adapter or other object. Doing so can stress the cord in ways  
that can cause the cord to fray, crack or crimp. This can present a safety hazard.  
Always route power cords so that they will not be walked on, tripped over, or pinched by objects.  
Protect the cord and power adapters from liquids. For instance, do not leave your cord or power adapter  
near sinks, tubs, toilets, or on floors that are cleaned with liquid cleansers. Liquids can cause a short  
circuit, particularly if the cord or power adapter has been stressed by misuse. Liquids can also cause  
gradual corrosion of the power cord terminals and/or the connector terminals on the adapter which can  
eventually result in overheating.  
Always connect power cords and signal cables in the correct order and ensure that all power cord  
connectors are securely and completely plugged into receptacles.  
Do not use any power adapter that shows corrosion at the ac input pins and/or shows signs of  
overheating (such as deformed plastic) at the ac input or anywhere on the power adapter.  
Do not use any power cords where the electrical contacts on either end show signs of corrosion or  
overheating or where the power cord appears to have been damaged in any way.  
Extension cords and related devices  
Ensure that extension cords, surge protectors, uninterruptible power supplies, and power strips that you  
use are rated to handle the electrical requirements of the product. Never overload these devices. If power  
strips are used, the load should not exceed the power strip input rating. Consult an electrician for more  
information if you have questions about power loads, power requirements, and input ratings.

Plugs and outlets  
If a receptacle (power outlet) that you intend to use with your computer equipment appears to be  
damaged or corroded, do not use the outlet until it is replaced by a qualified electrician.  
Do not bend or modify the plug. If the plug is damaged, contact the manufacturer to obtain a  
replacement.  
Some products are equipped with a three-pronged plug. This plug fits only into a grounded electrical  
outlet. This is a safety feature. Do not defeat this safety feature by trying to insert it into a non-grounded  
outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician for an approved outlet adapter  
or to replace the outlet with one that enables this safety feature. Never overload an electrical outlet. The  
overall system load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating. Consult an electrician for  
more information if you have questions about power loads and branch circuit ratings.  
Be sure that the power outlet you are using is properly wired, easily accessible, and located close to the  
equipment. Do not fully extend power cords in a way that will stress the cords.  
Connect and disconnect the equipment from the electrical outlet carefully.  
Batteries  
All personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a non-rechargeable coin cell battery to provide  
power to the system clock. In addition many mobile products such as notebook PCs utilize a rechargeable  
battery pack to provide system power when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with  
your product have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with Lenovo approved  
parts.  
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or incinerate batteries or short  
circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery  
pack strictly according to instructions included in the product documentation.  
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause gasses or flame to  
“vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is damaged, or if you notice any discharge from  
your battery or the buildup of foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a  
replacement from the battery manufacturer.  
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For some rechargeable batteries  
(particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery unused in a discharged state could increase the risk  
of a battery short circuit, which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do  
not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these batteries in a discharged  
state.  
Heat and product ventilation  
Computers, AC power adapters, and many accessories can generate heat when turned on and when  
batteries are charging. Always follow these basic precautions:  
v Do not leave your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories in contact with your lap or any part of  
your body for an extended period when the products are functioning or when the battery is charging.  
Your computer, AC power adapter, and many accessories produce some heat during normal operation.  
Extended contact with the body could cause discomfort or, potentially, a skin burn.  
v Do not charge the battery or operate your computer, AC power adapter, or accessories near flammable  
materials or in explosive environments.

v Ventilation slots, fans, and heat sinks are provided with the product for safety, comfort, and reliable  
operation. These features might inadvertently become blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,  
carpet, or other flexible surface. Never block, cover, or disable these features.

Returning the disc to the cartridge  
To return the disc to the cartridge, align the label side of the disc ꢀ1ꢁwith the DVD-RAM cartridge label  
side. Insert the disc and close the cartridge lid ꢀ2ꢁ. A clicking sound will occur when the lid is closed.  
Precautions for handling  
Be careful when handling the removed disc. Debris, dust particles, fingerprints, smears, or scratches may  
impair recording and playback of the media. To clean dust or other debris, use a CD Cleaning Kit. Use a  
soft, dry cloth to clean the disc. Do not use solvents to clean the disc surface. When labeling a disc, write  
only on the printed label side or the cartridge using a soft felt-tip marker. Keep out of direct sunlight,  
high temperatures, and humidity. Do not attach labels to either side of the disc.  
Using single and double-sided DVD-RAM media

Using Blu-ray discs  
The Blu-ray drive can read pressed Blu-ray discs, and can read and write to BD-R and BD-RE discs.  
Pressed Blu-ray discs are read-only and can contain movies or data. Pressed Blu-ray discs come in two  
sizes, 50 Gigabytes (GB) and 25 GB. Your Blu-ray drive can read both single-layer (25 GB) and double  
layer (50 GB) discs. Most pressed Blu-ray discs are encoded using a UDF 2.5 file system. Windows Vista  
can natively read UDF 2.5 discs. Windows XP cannot natively read UDF 2.5 discs.  
BD-R discs can be written once, and cannot be erased. You can use BD-R discs to store data, archive files,  
and copy files from another disc.  
BD-RE discs can be erased and rewritten. You can use BD-RE discs to store data, archive files, and copy  
files from another disc.  
You can easily copy Blu-ray discs and the data on them to hard disk drive or other media. Data files that  
are copied will act as if they were on the disc. Movies that are copied from Blu-ray discs are protected by  
the Advanced Access Content System (AACS) and cannot be played back after copying.  
Notes:  
1. Blu-ray discs cannot be read at all in a normal DVD drive or player.  
2. The Blu-ray drive does not read or write HD DVD discs.  
For more information on using the software, refer to “Using DVD Movie Factory” on page 2-7.

Note: If the software fails to install silently, you can select the instructions of each package from the  
bottom line of the installation page.  
Before using the software  
Video playback requires a compatible video device driver and IDE bus mastering in order to work. See  
enabling DMA bus mastering and for locating video device drivers.  
Using WinDVD  
To view the video content of a Blu-ray or DVD disc, launch WinDVD from the Start menu or by clicking  
the shortcut on your desktop and insert the disc into the drive.  
When the WinDVD is starting up, the drive light will run for several seconds, then the video output  
window will resize to the size of the video. Once the video is playing, the WinDVD controls can be used  
to navigate through the video and disc menus.  
With Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate or Microsoft Windows Home Premium, you can also play DVD  
Video content by using the Windows Media® Player or Windows Media Center applications.  
With Microsoft Windows Vista, you can also play DVD Video content by using the Windows Media  
Player or Windows Media Center applications.  
Notes:  
1. Windows Vista 64 will not always autoplay video content. For more Information, see Chapter 3,  
2. Microsoft Windows built-in applications cannot play Blu-ray movies.  
3. Blu-ray movie discs will not autoplay in Windows XP. Windows XP cannot natively read the UDF 2.5  
file system. Therefore, these Blu-ray movie discs are considered blank.  
Viewing Blu-ray movies  
You can use WinDVD to watch Blu-ray movies with the Blu-ray drive. These movies are usually of very  
high resolution, and have better picture and sound performance than normal DVDs. Blu-ray movies also  
have additional features such as games and internet content. WinDVD can play back Blu-ray movies with  
excellent sound and picture quality.  
Most Blu-ray movies are recorded at 1920×1080 resolution. WinDVD can scale this size to fit on your  
monitor or into a screen window. If the resolution of your monitor is sufficient, you can watch the movies  
at full size.  
The cost of such a large resolution is that few video cards have enough power to display some Blu-ray  
movies without jerking.  
Important: To enable satisfactory playback of Blu-ray video, your ThinkPad computer must contain  
either the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500, ATI Mobility RadeonX3400, or Nvidia  
Quadro® 7300 Series graphics adapter.  
Blu-ray movies are more interactive than DVD movies. In Blu-ray, the disc is enabled to determine what  
controls (stop, pause, etc.) function and whether the mouse can be used. Most Blu-ray discs have chapter  
and set-up menus that can be used while the movie is playing. Right-clicking on the video window and  
selecting "Pop-up on" will activate any in-line menu.

Changing the DVD and Blu-ray region codes  
Commercial DVD movies are protected by the Content Scrambling System (CSS). Blu-Ray movies are  
protected by the AACS. Both these protections divide the world into regions for playback of different  
discs. Content designated for one region cannot be read by playback systems in another region.  
The CSS specification divides the world into seven unique regions. These regions are numbered 1 to 7.  
The region code for CSS is stored in the drive. CSS allows an initial setting and four setting changes. On  
the initial setting, no disc is required to change the code. On a region change, a single region disc from  
the proper region must be in the drive. After the last change is used, the drive becomes locked into the  
last setting forever.  
Since the drive manages the regionalization of DVD CSS, both the drive and the disc can be checked for  
the region. WinDVD will alert you if a wrong region disc is inserted, and offer you the choice of  
changing the region. You can decide at that time to change the region or cancel playback.  
The Blu-ray specification divides the world into three unique regions. Blu-ray regions are lettered A to C.  
The region code for Blu-ray is stored in your computer’s registry. Blu-ray allows an initial setting and  
four setting changes. Blu-ray does not allow a player to check the region before playing. So the disc in  
the drive during Blu-ray region change does not matter. After the last change is used, Windows becomes  
locked into the last setting forever. As the setting is stored in the software, re-installing Windows will  
reset the Blu-ray player to ‘no region’.  
Blu-ray regionalization does not allow WinDVD to view the region before playback. The first time that  
you insert a Blu-ray disc into the drive, WinDVD will prompt you to select a region. If you later insert a  
region mismatched disc, the disc will play to its own region error message. Most Blu-ray discs will  
display a message and require that the disc be ejected on a region mismatch.  
You can change the DVD or Blu-ray region code at any time by completing these steps:  
1. Turn on your computer and start your operating system.  
2. Click Start -> Programs -> Intervideo WinDVD -> WinDVD 8.  
3. Click the Properties icon to open the Properties window.  
4. Click the General Properties tab.  
5. Select DVD region or BD Region in the drop-down box.  
6. If you are changing the DVD region, insert a single region DVD of the new region.  
7. Select the correct region code for your country.  
8. Click OK.  
Using DVD Movie Factory  
You can use DVD Movie Factory to write data, audio, and movies to BD-RE, BD-R, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW,  
DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, CD-R, and CD-RW media. BD-RE, DVD-RAM, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and  
CD-RW media can be written to many times, while DVD-R, DVD+R, and CD-R media can only be  
formatted and written to once.

Chapter 3. Troubleshooting  
Computer problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. The information in this section  
might be useful to help you solve problems or to gather helpful information you can pass on to a service  
technician. You might also need to refer to your computer, operating-system, or sound-adapter  
publications.  
Review the following list for any problem descriptions that might fit your situation.  
You cannot create a multi-session CD or DVD.  
Be sure that there is enough space left on the disc for another session. Writing a session requires lead-in  
and lead-out space (about 15 MB) in addition to the data that is recorded.  
You cannot successfully write to a CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, BD-R, BD-RE, or DVD-RAM  
disc.  
Complete these steps:  
1. Verify that the process is not being interrupted by a screen saver, an antivirus program, an Internet or  
e-mail program, or other software. Disable the functions that might interrupt the write operation.  
2. Verify that the hard disk drive has been defragmented.  
3. Consult the hard disk drive manufacturer or vendor if an older hard disk drive is conducting a  
thermal recalibration during a write operation.  
4. Replace the CD if it is bad or scratched.  
5. Disable the Windows Auto Insert Notify function on your CD-ROM and CD-RW drives.  
You cannot eject a CD or DVD disc.  
Complete these steps after ensuring that the drive is not in the process of writing to a disc:  
1. Eject the CD through software.  
2. Use the Eject button.  
3. Turn off the computer. Wait 45 seconds; then turn on the computer and try using the Eject button  
again.  
4. If other methods do not work, use the manual-eject hole. Refer to the instructions in “Manually  
You cannot read from the CD or DVD disc after successfully writing to it.  
Complete these steps:  
1. If you can read the CD or DVD Disc in another CD or DVD player or you can see previous sessions,  
the directory information might be damaged on the volume, making it unreadable. To get ideas for  
troubleshooting, check the documentation that comes with the software.  
2. You might have a damaged CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc. Try a new disc or  
another brand of CD or DVD disc.  
3. If you can read from a CD-RW, DVD-RW, or DVD-RAM disc in the writing drive, but not in another  
CD drive, be sure that a UDF Reader program is installed in the computer.  
4. Avoid writing at the slower 1X speed unless required by your computer.  
Blu-ray Video drops frames or is jerky.  
1. Ensure that Hardware Acceleration is checked in the WinDVD Tools dialog.  
2. Ensure that your disc is clean and free of scratches.

Note: Some Blu-ray video content cannot be played at full frame rate without advanced video hardware.  
Blu-ray video menus do not always work with the mouse.  
This is normal. BD-J menus are controlled by the disc. Use the system keyboard to navigate the menu.  
While playing a Blu-ray video, a Region Error appears and the WinDVD controls do not function  
correctly.  
This is not unusual on a region mismatch. Close WinDVD and eject the disc. Reopen WinDVD and  
change the region to match the disc. Re-insert the disc to play it.  
The controls for Menu Play, Fast forward, Stop, or Skip are grayed out during Blu-ray playback.  
This is normal. The disc is written so that you cannot use those controls at the current time.  
Copy protection error. Playback is stopped when using WinDVD.  
1. If an external display is connected, ensure that it supports Macrovision copy protection.  
2. Ensure that under Windows Vista, your video driver supports the Protected Media Path.  
3. Disable the analog display if only watching on the attached LCD screen.  
DLA errors occur when Blu-ray media is inserted, or I cannot shut down.  
Uninstall Sonic Drive Letter access. That program is not compatible with the Blu-ray drive.  
Windows Vista shows a red screen Cannot close QuickDrop.  
You missed the QuickDrop dialog that pops up when you shut down. Go back and select Yes.  
After changing users in Windows Vista 64, Autoplay no longer works for DVD or Blu-ray.  
This is a Windows Vista defect. To correct it:  
1. Log on as the new user.  
2. Go to Control Panel > Autoplay.  
3. Select WinDVD for autoplay of DVD and Blu-ray media.

Appendix A. Customizing the device driver configuration  
settings  
Microsoft Windows Me and Windows 2000 Professional have two device-driver configuration parameters:  
Auto Insert Notify and DMA.  
The Auto Insert Notify parameter enables the computer to start playing or accessing the disc  
automatically after being inserted in the drive. The DMA parameter improves the computer performance  
by having the computer DMA controller handle data transfers from the CD to memory, freeing the  
computer’s microprocessor to perform more important tasks. For example, activating DMA might make  
movies and games run more smoothly because the microprocessor is allocating more processing time to  
video.  
Enabling DMA for Windows XP  
To change the DMA parameter setting from the Windows XP desktop, complete these steps:  
1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.  
2. Click Switch to classic view on the left side of the Control Panel Window.  
3. Double-click System.  
4. Click the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.  
5. Click the IDE ATA/ATAPI controller to expand the tree.  
6. Double-click on the controller where your CD/DVD Burner is located (Primary IDE or Secondary  
IDE).  
7. Click the Advanced Settings tab.  
8. Select the appropriate Transfer Mode pull-down that corresponds to the CD/DVD Burner location  
(Device 0 for Master, Device 1 for Slave).  
9. Select DMA if it is available.  
10. Click OK.  
Enabling digital audio extraction  
Your system must be properly configured to play back digital audio from this drive. There are two  
settings that must be configured. One setting is in the device properties, and a second setting is in  
Windows Media Player.  
To set the device properties, complete these steps:  
1. Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties.  
2. Select Device Manager from the Hardware tab. In Windows Me, the Hardware tab shows the Device  
Manager directly without clicking the button, as shown in the figure below.

Appendix C. Lenovo Limited Warranty  
L505-0010-00 09/2006  
This Lenovo Limited Warranty applies only to Lenovo hardware products you purchased for your own  
use and not for resale. This warranty may sometimes be referred to as the Statement of Limited  
Warranty(SOLW) in other documents from Lenovo.  
What this Warranty Covers  
Lenovo warrants that each hardware product is free from defects in materials and workmanship under  
normal use during the warranty period. The warranty period for the product starts on the original date  
of purchase specified on your invoice unless Lenovo informs you otherwise in writing. The warranty  
period and type of warranty service that apply to your product are designated below under the section  
titled Warranty Information.″  
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTY AND REPLACES ALL OTHER  
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,  
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A  
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION  
OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO  
YOU. IN THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES APPLY ONLY TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY LAW  
AND ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY  
AFTER THAT PERIOD. SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON  
HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION ON DURATION  
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.  
How to Obtain Warranty Service  
If the product does not function as warranted during the warranty period, you may obtain warranty  
service by contacting Lenovo or an approved service provider. Each of them is referred to as a Service  
support/phone.  
Warranty service may not be available in all locations and may differ from location to location. Charges  
may apply outside a Service Provider’s normal service area. Contact a local Service Provider for  
location-specific information.  
What Your Service Provider Will Do to Correct Problems  
When you contact a Service Provider, you must follow the problem determination and resolution  
procedures specified.  
Your Service Provider will attempt to diagnose and resolve your problem over the telephone or through  
remote assistance. Your Service Provider may direct you to download and install designated software  
updates.  
Some problems can be resolved with a replacement part that you install yourself (such as keyboard,  
mouse, speaker, memory, hard disk drive, or port replicator), called a Customer Replaceable Unitor  
CRU.If so, your Service Provider will ship the CRU to you for you to install.

C-1  
 
If your problem cannot be resolved over the telephone or remotely, through your application of software  
updates, or with a CRU, your Service Provider will arrange for service under the type of warranty service  
designated for the product under the section titled Warranty Information.″  
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to repair your product, your Service Provider will  
replace it with one that is at least functionally equivalent.  
If your Service Provider determines that it is unable to either repair or replace your product, your sole  
remedy is to return the product to your place of purchase or to Lenovo and your purchase price will be  
refunded.  
Exchange of a Product or Part  
When the warranty service involves the exchange of a product or part, the item your Service Provider  
replaces becomes Lenovo’s property and the replacement becomes yours. All removed items must be  
genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least  
functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty status of the replaced  
item.  
Before your Service Provider exchanges a product or part, you agree to:  
1. remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service;  
2. ensure that the product is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange; and  
3. obtain authorization from the owner to have your Service Provider service a product that you do not  
own.  
Your Additional Responsibilities  
Where applicable, before service is provided, you agree to:  
1. follow the service request procedures that your Service Provider specifies;  
2. backup or secure all programs and data contained in the product;  
3. provide your Service Provider with all system keys or passwords and sufficient, free, and safe access  
to your facilities to permit the terms of this warranty to be fulfilled; and  
4. ensure that all information about identified or identifiable individuals (Personal Data) is deleted  
from the product or that, with respect to any remaining Personal Data you did not delete, you are in  
compliance with all applicable laws.

warranty issue and your contact information, including name, phone numbers, address, and e-mail  
address. Lenovo will use this information to perform service under this warranty and to improve our  
business relationship with you, such as to conduct internal reviews of the efficiency of the warranty  
service we provide to you. We may contact you to inquire about your satisfaction regarding our warranty  
service or to notify you about any product recalls or safety issues. In accomplishing these purposes, we  
may transfer your information to any country where we do business and may provide it to entities acting  
on our behalf. We also may disclose it where required by law or legal authorities to do so.  
What this Warranty Does not Cover  
This warranty does not cover the following:  
v uninterrupted or error-free operation of a product;  
v loss of, or damage to, your data;  
v any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently;

v any third party products, including those that Lenovo may procure and provide with or integrate into  
the Lenovo product at your request; and

entitled to recover damages from Lenovo. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are  
entitled to claim damages from Lenovo (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or  
other contract or tort claim), except and to the extent that liability cannot be waived or limited by  
applicable laws, Lenovo is liable for no more than the amount of actual direct damages suffered by you,  
up to the amount you paid for the product. This limit does not apply to damages for bodily injury  
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property for which Lenovo is

If required, your Service Provider will provide repair or exchange service depending on the type of  
warranty service specified for your product and the available service. Scheduling of service will depend  
upon the time of your call, parts availability, and other factors.  
A warranty period of 1 year on parts and 1 year on labor means that Lenovo provides warranty service

designated for your product. Installation of external CRUs (such as mice, keyboards, or monitors) is your  
responsibility. Lenovo specifies in the materials shipped with a replacement CRU whether the defective  
CRU must be returned. When return is required, 1) return instructions, a prepaid return shipping label,  
and a container are included with the replacement CRU, and 2) you may be charged for the replacement  
CRU if your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt  
of the replacement.
