Symptom-to-FRU Index
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists the symptoms and errors
and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed
first.
Note: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the
sequence shown in the FRU/Action columns. If a
FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put
the original part back in the computer. Do not
replace a non-defective FRU.
This index can also be used to help you decide the next
possible FRUs to be replaced when servicing a computer.
Numeric error codes show the errors detected in POST or
system operation (runtime). In the following error codes, X
can be any number. If no codes are available, use narra-
tive symptoms.
If the symptom is not listed, go to “Undetermined
Problems” on page 22.
Note: For IBM devices not supported by diagnostic codes
in this ThinkPad computer, see the manual for that
device.
Numeric Error Codes
The following is a list of the message that the BIOS can
display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them
display information about a hardware device, e.g., the
amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a
problem with a device, such as the way it has been config-
ured. Following the list are explanations of the messages
and remedies for reported problems.
If the system fails after you make changes in the Setup
menus, reset the computer, enter Setup and install Setup
defaults or correct the error.
