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 narrative symptoms.

If the symptom is not listed, go to “Undetermined Problems” on page 25.

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 configured. 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.
