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:
2
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.

Important:
Advise customers to contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center if they need any assistance in
obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads. Telephone numbers for
Lenovo Support are available at:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone
System Disassembly/Reassembly videos that show the FRU removals or replacements
for the Lenovo authorized service technicians are available in the following support site:
http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/
Advise customers to contact the Customer Support Center at 800-426-7378 if they need assistance in
obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads.
Customers in Canada should call the Customer Support Center at 800-565-3344 for assistance or
download information.
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.
To download software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS, do as follows:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support.
2. Enter the product number of the computer or press Auto-detect button on the screen.
3. Select Downloads & Drivers.
4. Follow the directions on the screen and 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.
25
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 (HDD). 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.
Attention: The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing may have been changed. Be
extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect
drive, data or programs can be overwritten.
Important notice for replacing a system board

Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper handling of a system board can
cause damage to those components, and may cause a system malfunction.
Attention: When handling a system board:
Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.
Avoid rough handling of any kind.
Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each BGA (Ball Grid Array) chipset.
How to use error message

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed,
begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever causes the first error code may also cause false error
codes. If no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU
Index for the computer you are servicing.
Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV

Product definition
Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)
This provides the ability for a customer to configure an IBM or a Lenovo solution from an eSite, and have
this configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine
label, Product Entitlement Warehouse (PEW), eSupport, and the HMM will load these products as the 4-digit
MT and 3-digit model, where model = CTO (Example: 1829-CTO).
Custom Model Variant (CMV)
This is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between IBM or 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).
26
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:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=LOOK-WARNTY
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
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
eSupport can be used to view the list of key commodities built in a particular machine serial (this is the
same record found in PEW).
eSupport can be accessed at the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support
To view the key commodities, click on PARTS INFORMATION, then PARTS LOOKUP. Type in the model
type and serial number. The key commodities will be returned in the eSupport record under PARTS
SHIPPED WITH YOUR SYSTEM.
For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)
eSupport can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type and model.
To view the complete list of FRUs, type in the machine type and model (Example: 1829-CTO) under
QUICK PATH. Under View by Document Type select PARTS INFORMATION. Under Filter by Category
select SERVICE PARTS. Under Parts Information by Date select SYSTEM SERVICE PARTS. The list of
service parts by description, with applicable machine type model and FRU will be displayed.
Using the HMM
For Key Commodities (Examples - hard disk drive, system board, microprocessor, LCD, and memory)
Use the HMM as a back-up to PEW and eSupport to view the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level.

Checkout guide on page 30
Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS on page 30
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox on page 32
FRU tests on page 33
Power system checkout on page 34
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.
What to do first

To verify a symptom, do the following:
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Connect the ac power adapter.
4. Check that power is supplied when you turn on the computer.
6. Disconnect the ac power adapter and install the charged battery pack.
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 on page 34
Checking operational charging on page 35
Checking the battery pack on page 35
Checking the backup battery on page 36
Checking the ac power adapter

You are here because the computer fails only when the ac power adapter is used.
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 35
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:

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.
If the problem persists, go to FRU tests on page 33.
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:
1(+)
2(+)
5
3 4
6(-)
Terminal
Voltage (V dc)
+ 0 to + 12.6
Ground (-)
7(-)
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.
35
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 . 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.
3. Remove the battery pack (see 1010 Battery pack on page 54).
4. Remove the backup battery (see 1090 Backup battery on page 64).
5. Measure the voltage of the backup battery. See the following figure.
Wire

Restoring the factory contents by using Recovery Disc Set

When the hard disk drive is replaced because of a failure, no product recovery program is on the new drive.
In this case, you must use the Recovery Disc Set for the computer. Order the Recovery Disc Set and the
drive at the same time so that you can recover the new drive with the pre-installed software when they arrive.
For information on which discs to order, see Recovery discs on page 111.
The recovery disc set consists of the user instructions and the following set of DVDs to restore the computer
to the original factory configuration.
Operating System Recovery Disc (one disc)
This disc restores the Microsoft Windows operating system. Use this disc to start the recovery process.
Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc (one or more discs)
This disc restores the preinstalled applications and drivers on the computer.
Supplemental Recovery Disc
This disc contains additional content, such as updates to the software that was preinstalled on the computer.
Not all recovery disc sets come with a Supplemental Recovery Disc.
Notes:
You must have a DVD drive to use the recovery discs. If you do not have an internal DVD drive, you
can use an external USB DVD drive.
During the recovery process, all data on the drive will be deleted. If possible, copy any important data
or personal files that you want to keep onto removable media or a network drive before you start the
recovery process.
To restore the computer to the original factory configuration using the recovery disc set, do the following:

Passwords
As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad Notebook: the power-on password (POP),
the hard-disk password (HDP), and the supervisor password (SVP).
If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it appears on the screen whenever the computer is
turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered.
Exception: If only an SVP is installed, the password prompt does not appear when the operating system
is booted.
Power-on password
A power-on password (POP) protects the system from being powered on by an unauthorized person. The
password must be entered before an operating system can be booted. For how to remove the POP, see
How to remove the power-on password on page 39.
Hard-disk password
There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs):

Master HDPfor the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk even if the user
has changed the user HDP
Note: There are two modes for the HDP: User only and Master + User. The Master + User mode requires
two HDPs; the system administrator enters both in the same operation. The system administrator then
provides the user HDP to the system user.
38
Attention: If the user HDP has been forgotten, check whether a master HDP has been set. If it has, it can be
used for access to the hard disk drive. If no master HDP is available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized
service technicians provide any services to reset either the user or the master HDP, or to recover data from
the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive can be replaced for a scheduled fee.
For how to remove the POP, see How to remove the hard-disk password on page 39.
Supervisor password
A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the ThinkPad Setup. The user must
enter the SVP in order to get access to the ThinkPad Setup and change the system configuration.
Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the service technician, there is no
service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a scheduled fee.

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:
Lenovo will not provide replacement if the LCD is within specification as we cannot guarantee that
any replacement LCD will have zero pixel defects.
This policy applies to all ThinkPad Notebooks purchased on 1 January, 2008 or later.
One pixel consists of R, G, B sub-pixels.

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
checkout on page 34)
43
2. Visually check each FRU for damage. Replace any damaged FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
a. Non-ThinkPad devices
b. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
c. Battery pack
d. Hard disk drive

of your receipt of the replacement CRU. See your Lenovo Limited Warranty documentation for full details.
This chapter presents notices related to removing and replacing parts. Read this chapter carefully before
replacing any FRU.
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:

Keep the screw kit (for the P/N, see Miscellaneous parts on page 109) in your tool bag.
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:
49
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 on page 50

Retaining the UUID on page 51
Reading or writing the ECA information on page 51
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:
MTM on rear label:
50
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.
Note: Only the ECA number is stored in the EEPROM. The machine type of the ECA is assumed be the same
as the machine type of the machine that had the ECA applied to it.
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 write ECA information, select 1. Write ECA/rework number from EEPROM, and follow the
instruction.
4. To write box build date, select 4. Write box build date from EEPROM, and follow the instruction on
the screen.
If the system board is being replaced, try to read the ECA information from the old system board and transfer
the information to the new system. If the system board is inoperable, this will not be possible.

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.
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 computers 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.
