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

You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify

which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are

incorrect, whether

a short circuit is suspected, or

whether

the system is inoperative. Follow these procedures to

 

isolate the failing

FRU (do not isolate nondefective

FRUs).

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power System

Checkout” on page 33).

1.Power off the computer.

2.Visually check them for damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.

3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:

a.Non-IBM devices

b.Devices attached to the ThinkPad Port Replicator with Advanced Etherjet Feature

c.Printer, mouse, and other external devices

d.Battery ASM

e. Hard disk drive

f.DIMM

g.CD-ROM and Diskette Drive (FDD ASM) in the Combobay (UltraBay FX)

h.PC Cards (PCMCIA)

4.Power on the computer.

5. Determine if the problem has changed.

6.

If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed

 

devices

one at a time until you

find

the failing FRU.

7.

If

the

problem remains, replace

the

following FRUs

 

one

at

a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

 

a.

System board

 

 

 

b.

LCD

panel ASM

 

 

 

c.

CPU card
