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.

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:

– 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.
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.

service technicians are available in the following support site:
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.
Download Drivers & Software. Then follow the instructions on the screen to 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.
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. 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.

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.)
• 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 HMM.
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:
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

The descriptions in this chapter apply to any ThinkPad model that supports the PC-Doctor® for DOS
diagnostics program. Some descriptions might not apply to your particular computer.
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.

7. Check that the battery pack supplies power when you turn on the computer.
If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate one of the following power supply checkouts:
•
•
•
•
Checking the ac power adapter
You are here because the computer fails only when the ac power adapter is used.
• If the power problem occurs only when the docking station or the port replicator is used, replace the
docking station or the port replicator.
• If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power cord of the ac power adapter for correct
continuity and installation.
• If the computer does not charge during operation, go to “Checking operational charging” on page 34.
To check the ac power adapter, do the following:
1. Unplug the ac power adapter cable from the computer.
2. Measure the output voltage at the plug of the ac power adapter cable. See the following figure:
Pin

Note: Output voltage of pin no.2 of the ac power adapter may different 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.
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:
Terminal

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

the TrackPoint, the hard disk, the parallel connector, or the diskette drive within that time.
• If the battery indicator blinks orange, indicating that the battery power is low.
Note: Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm, the charge indicator notifies you when the battery is low,
and then the computer enters the power-saving mode automatically.
To cause the computer to return from sleep (standby) mode and resume operation, do one of the following:
• Press the Fn key.
• Open the LCD cover.
• Turn on the power switch.
Also, in either of the following events, the computer automatically returns from sleep (standby) mode and
resumes operation:
• The ring indicator (RI) is signaled by a serial device or a PC Card device.
• The time set on the resume timer elapses.
Note: The computer does not accept any input immediately after it enters sleep (standby) mode. Wait a
few seconds before taking any action to reenter operation mode.
Hibernation mode
In hibernation mode, the following occurs:
• The system status, RAM, VRAM, and setup data are stored on the hard disk.

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.

Intermittent problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety of causes that have nothing to do with a hardware
defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be
considered only when a problem recurs.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the 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.
Undetermined problems
If the diagnostic tests did not identify the adapter or device that has failed, if wrong devices are installed,
or if the system simply is not operating, follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate
FRUs that have no defects).
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power system

Chapter 7. FRU replacement notices
This chapter presents notices related to removing and replacing parts. Read this chapter carefully before
replacing any FRU.
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.
Screw notices
Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. In the ThinkPad Notebook, this problem is addressed with
special nylon-coated screws that have the following characteristics:
• They maintain tight connections.
• They do not easily come loose, even with shock or vibration.
• They are harder to tighten.
• Each one should be used only once.
Do the following when you service this machine:
• Always use new screws.
• Use a torque screwdriver if you have one.
Tighten screws as follows:
• Plastic to plastic
Turn an additional 90 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the plastic part:
• Logic card to plastic
Turn an additional 180 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the logic card:

• Torque driver
If you have a torque driver, refer to the “Torque” column for each step.
• Make sure that you use the correct screw. If you have a torque screwdriver, tighten all screws firmly to the
torque shown in the table. Never use a screw that you removed. Use a new one. Make sure that all
of the screws are tightened firmly.
• Ensure torque screw drivers are calibrated correctly following country specifications.
Retaining serial numbers
This section includes the following descriptions:
•
•
•
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 unit 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 unit is
listed as follows:
• 20: Serial number
Write down that number.
Note: The serial number of the system unit 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:
58 ThinkPad T420 and T420i Hardware Maintenance Manual
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
MTM on rear label:
TTTT-CTO S/N SSSSSSS
Product ID on rear label:
TTTT-MMM (Use this number when setting 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 as follows:
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 is not overwritten.
Reading or writing the ECA information
Information on Engineering Change Announcements (ECA) are stored in the EEPROM of the system board.
The electronic storage of this information simplifies the procedure to check if the ECA has been previously
applied to a machine. The machine does not need to be disassembled to check for the ECA application.
To check what ECAs 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 ECA information, select 2. Read ECA/rework number from EEPROM and follow the
instruction.
4. To read box build date, select 5. Read box build date from EEPROM, and follow the instruction on
the screen.
After an ECA has been applied to the machine, the EEPROM must be updated to reflect the ECA's
application. Use the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette Version 1.76 or later to update the
EEPROM.

Chapter 8. Removing and replacing a FRU
This chapter presents directions and drawings for use in removing and replacing a FRU.
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.
Be sure to observe the following general rules:
1. Do not try to service any computer unless you have been trained and certified. An untrained person runs
the risk of damaging parts.
3. Begin by removing any FRUs that have to be removed before replacing the failing FRU. Any such FRUs
are listed at the top of each FRU replacement page. Remove them in the order in which they are listed.
4. Follow the correct sequence in the steps for removing a FRU, as given in the drawings by the numbers
in square callouts.
5. When turning a screw to replace a FRU, turn it in the direction as given by the arrow in the drawing.
6. When removing a FRU, move it in the direction as given by the arrow in the drawing.
7. To put the new FRU in place, reverse the removal procedure and follow any notes that pertain to
replacement. For information about connecting and arranging internal cables, see Chapter 9 “Locations”
on page 125.
8. When replacing a FRU, use the correct screw(s) as shown in the procedures.
DANGER
Before removing any FRU, turn off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets,
remove the battery pack, and then disconnect any interconnecting cables.
Attention: After replacing a FRU, do not turn on the computer until you have made sure that all screws,
springs, and other small parts are in place and none are loose inside the computer. Verify this by shaking
the computer gently and listening for rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can cause electrical
short circuits.
Attention: The system board is sensitive to, and can be damaged by, electrostatic discharge. Before
touching it, establish personal grounding by touching a ground point with one hand or by using an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap (P/N 6405959).

1010 Battery pack
Important notice for replacing a battery pack:
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (in Windows 7) has an automatic battery diagnostic that determines if the
battery pack is defective. A battery pack FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic shows that
the battery is defective.
The only exception to this is if the battery pack is physically damaged or a customer is reporting a possible
safety issue.
If Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox is not installed in the computer, the customer should download this program
before a non-physically damaged battery pack is replaced. Note that the replacement of a physically
damaged battery pack is not covered by the warranty.
Removal steps of battery pack
DANGER
Use only the battery specified in the parts list for your computer. Any other battery could ignite
or explode.

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 by applying several thousands of G-forces.
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, you must test it, using PC-Doctor for DOS, to make sure that the HDD Active
Protection System™ still functions.
Note: If the test shows that HDD Active Protection System is not functioning, be sure to document the drop in a
reject report, and replace the system board.
• 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.
After replacing the system board, run PC-Doctor for DOS to make sure that 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.

•
•
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 Notebooks 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.
