Symptom-to-FRU Index (XD) #

Note: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in the FRU/Action columns. If a FRU did not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

Note: For any IBM device not supported by the diagnostic codes in this ThinkPad computer, see the manual for that device.

symptpi   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 did 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 which FRUs to have available when servicing a computer.

Numeric error codes show the errors detected in POST or system operation. 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'.

To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the power sources as follows:

  1. Remove the battery pack, diskette drive, and hard disk drive.
  2. Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is supplied.
  3. Install the diskette drive or hard disk drive  one at a time, and check that power is supplied from  each power source.
  4. Disconnect the AC Adapter, remove the hard disk and  diskette drive, and install the charged battery pack,  then check that power is supplied by the battery pack.

If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check listed below.

  • Checking the AC Adapter .
  • Checking Operational Charging .
  • Checking the Battery Pack .
  • Checking the Backup Battery .

  1. Remove the battery pack and diskette drive.
  2. Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is supplied.
  3. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged battery pack, then  check that power is supplied by the battery pack.

If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check listed below.

Checking the AC Adapter (XD) #

Note: For Model 365XD, there are two types of adapters. The procedure for checking both types is the same.

Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defective adapter.

Checking the AC Adapter

You are here because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used.

  • If the power problem occurs only when a Port Replicator is used,  replace the replicator.
  • If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power  cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation.
  • If the operational charge does not work, go to 'Checking Operational Charging' .

NOTE: For Model 365XD, there are two types of adapters. The procedure for checking both types is the same.

  1. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and  measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter cable.

560_2  larkacp 

Pin Voltage (Vdc)
1 +14.5 to +17.0
2 Ground
  • If the voltage is correct,  replace the system board.
  • If the problem is not corrected, go to 'Undetermined Problems' .
  • If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
  • Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the ac power outlet and wait  five minutes or longer to allow the over-voltage protection circuit  to be fully discharged and initialized.
  • Plug the AC Adapter cable into the ac power outlet.
  • Measure the output voltage of the AC Adapter.
  • If the voltage is still not correct, replace the AC Adapter.

NOTE: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defective adapter.

Checking Operational Charging (XD) #

Checking Operational Charging

To check operational charging, 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 does not turn on, remove the battery pack and leave it to return to room temperature. Reinstall the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the battery pack.

Checking the Battery Pack (XD) #

Note: Signal lines, not used in these steps,  are used for communication between the system and the battery.

Note: If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not defective.

Checking the Battery Pack

Battery charging will not start until the Fuel-Gauge shows that less than 95% of the total power remains, with this condition the battery pack will charge to 100% of its capacity. This protects the battery pack from being overcharged or having a shortened life.

Do the following:

  1. Power off the computer.- Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery  terminals 2 (+) and 6 (-).

    c78vzbat 

    Terminal Voltage (Vdc) / Signal
    1 -
    2 +8 to +13.5
    3 -
    4 -
    5 Thermal
    6 Ground (-)

    NOTE: Signal lines, not used in these steps,  are used for communication between the system and the battery.

    • If the voltage is less than  +9.6 V dc, the battery pack has  been discharged. Recharge the battery pack.

    If the voltage is still less than +9.6 V dc after recharging,  replace the battery.

    NOTE:  If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not defective.

    • If the voltage is more than +9.6 V dc,  measure the resistance between  battery terminals 5 and 6.  The resistance must be 4 K to 30 K ohm.

      If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack.

      If the resistance is correct, replace the system board.

Checking the Backup Battery (XD) #

Checking the Backup Battery

     ![warn3](/static/parts/img/f6bbaae0a677.gif)   
       Do not use a metal tool when removing the backup battery.
      Use only a plastic tool.
    
     - Using a plastic tool,
        remove the backup battery from the system board.- Measure the voltage of the backup battery.
          Refer to the following table for voltages:
    
         | Wire | Voltage (Vdc) |
         | --- | --- |
         | + | +2.5 to +3.7 |
         | - | Ground |
    
  • If the voltage is correct, replace the system board.
  • If the voltage is not correct, the backup battery has been  discharged. Replace the backup battery.
  • If the backup battery discharges quickly after replacement,  replace the system board.

Checking the AC Adapter #

Note: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defective adapter.

You are here because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is used.

  • If the power problem occurs only when the Port Replicator is used,  replace the replicator.
  • If the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the power  cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and installation.
  • If the operational charge does not work, go to 'Checking Operational Charging' .
  1. Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and  measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter cable.

  • If the voltage is correct, replace the subcard.
  • If the problem is not corrected, replace the system board.
  • If the problem is not corrected, go to 'Undetermined Problems' .
  • If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
  • Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the ac power outlet and wait  five minutes or longer to allow the over-voltage protection circuit  to be fully discharged and initialized.
  • Plug the AC Adapter cable into the ac power outlet.
  • Measure the output voltage of the AC Adapter.
  • If the voltage is still not correct, replace the AC Adapter.

NOTE: An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not always indicate a defective adapter.

Checking the Battery Pack #

Note: Signal lines not used in these steps are used for  communication between the system and the battery.

Note: If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not defective.

Checking the AC Adapter (2635-380/385)

  1. Power off the computer- Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between  battery terminals 1 (+) and 4 (-).

    380_batt

    3 Thermal
    4 Ground (-)
    5 Select
    6 A-Ground

    NOTE: Signal lines not used in these steps are used for  communication between the system and the battery.

    • If the voltage is less than +11.0 Vdc, the battery pack has been discharged.  Recharge the battery pack.

    If the voltage is still less than +11.0 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.

    NOTE: If the voltage of the battery pack is 0 V, it is not defective.

    • If the voltage is more than +11.0 Vdc, measure the resistance between battery terminals  3 and 4. The resistance must be 4 to 30 K ohm.

      If the resistance is not correct, replace the battery pack.

      If the resistance is correct, replace the subcard.

Checking the Backup Battery #

Printer Checkout #

  1. Make sure the printer is correctly connected and is powered-on.
  2. Run the printer self-test.

If the printer self-test does not run correctly, the problem is in the printer. Refer to the printer service manual.

If the printer self-test runs correctly, do the following.

  1. Verify the port settings in configuration.
  2. Install a wrap plug on the port (indicated in configuration)  and run the advanced diagnostic tests.
  3. If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug installed)  do not detect a failure, replace the printer cable. If the problem is not corrected, replace the system board.

Port Replicator Checkout #

Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator problem. A port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector at the rear of the computer.

  1. Power-off the computer.- Remove the failing devices from the replicator.- Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached.- Remove the port replicator from the computer.- Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer.  (If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.)- Go to General Checkout and follow that procedure.- If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error,  suspect a problem with the port replicator  or the system expansion bus.- Power-off the computer and reconnect the port replicator.- Power-on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests:
               - Serial port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.- Parallel port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.- PCMCIA-2 test with the PC test card installed.- FDD-2 (FDD-1 if no drive is installed in the computer)
                        drive test on the failing device.
    
               - If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette
                  drive attachment unit.
    
                  If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the
                  system board.
    
                 - If power problems appear only when using the replicator, replace the
                    replicator.
    

If power shut downs occur intermittently when using PCMCIA-2 devices via a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PCMCIA devices use more power; if the maximum usage of each device occurs simultaneously, the total current will exceed the limit, thereby causing a power shut down. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices, and use the computer under the same condition, and see whether a power shut down occurs. Do this procedure for all devices then determine the cause.

Customer purchase of the larger AC adapter (50W, optional) is recommended, if it is not yet in use.

TrackPoint II Checkout #

Note: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust  the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on  the screen and then stop. Pointer  movement might occur when  a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when  the computer is powered-on or running, or  when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment.

  • If the TrackPoint II  does not work, check the configuration.  If the configuration of the TrackPoint II is set to Disabled or Off, change it to Enable or On.

If the problem remains, continue.

NOTE: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust  the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on  the screen and then stop. Pointer  movement might occur when  a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when  the computer is powered-on or running, or  when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment.

  • If the cursor floats or moves erratically, power-off and disconnect the  mouse. Power-on the computer. If the  problem goes away, replace the mouse. If the problem remains, replace the  keyboard.- For click button or pointing stick problems:

    1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen.
    2. Select an item with the pointing stick.
    3. Press either left or right click button.
    4. Verify that both buttons work correctly.

    If the pointing stick or the click button does not work,  do the following.

    1. Reseat the keyboard cables.
    2. Replace the keyboard.
    3. Replace the interposer card (355x, 360x, 750x, 755x).
    4. Replace keyboard control card (720).
    5. Replace the system board.

System Board and CPU Card Checkout (XD) #

System Board and CPU Card Checkout

The processing functions are performed by both the system board and the CPU card. Processor problems can be caused by either FRU. However, the CPU card generally has a lower probability of failure. When a numeric code calls the system board or the CPU card as a FRU, or the CPU card is called by a diagnostic test by showing FRU code 11, use the following procedure to isolate the problem:

  1. Run the system board test to verify the symptom. This test verifies  both the system board and the CPU card.  If no error is detected, return to 'Checkout Guide' .
  2. If FRU code 10 appears, replace the system board but do not replace  the CPU card. Transfer the CPU card from the old system  board to the new system board.
  3. If FRU code 11 appears, reseat the CPU card.
  4. Rerun the test to verify the fix.
  5. If FRU code 11 remains, replace the CPU card.

If above procedure does not correct the problem, go to 'Undetermined Problems'.

Undetermined Problems (XD) #

Undetermined Problems

You are here because the diagnostic tests did not identify which adapter or device failed, installed devices are incorrect, a short circuit is suspected, or the system is inoperative. Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate non-defective FRUs).

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.

  • For 2625 365X, XD see 'Power Systems Checkout' .
  • For 2635-380/385 see 'Power Systems Checkout' .
  1. Power off the computer.- Check the cables, wires, and connectors for  short circuits and open circuits. Visually check them for damage.  If any problems are found, replace the FRU.- Remove or disconnect all of the following devices.

    1. Non-IBM devices
    2. Devices attached to the expansion bus connector
    3. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
    4. Battery pack
    5. Hard disk drive
    6. Internal diskette drive or CD-ROM drive
    7. DIMM
    8. PC Cards
    • Power on the computer.
    • Determine if the problem has changed.
    • If the problem does not occur again, reconnect the removed devices  one at a time until you find the failing FRU.
    • If the problem still remains, remove the backup battery and wait for 3 minutes, then  replace the backup battery and set current date and time.
    • Determine if the problem has changed.
    • If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time.  Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

If ThinkPad 2625 365X, XD then replace

  • Keyboard card
  • LCD assembly
  • System board
  • CPU card

If ThinkPad 2635 380/385 then replace

  • Subcard
  • System Board

Checking the Installed Devices List (XD) #

Checking the Installed Devices List

If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen, the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If the symptom remains, replace the device or the system board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly distinguish the shade of the icon.

If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when NO second FDD is installed), do the following:

  1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as the FDD-1.
  2. If the problem remains, replace the system board.

The PCMCIA, Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in a dark shade because the icons represent subsystems of the system board and not the actual attachment of the devices.

The FDD-1 icon represents the first drive in the system configuration. Similarly, the FDD-2 icon represents the second drive, attached to the external diskette drive connector or through a Port Replicator.

Memory Checkout (XD) #

Note: Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. Both latches must be latched completely. A loose connection can cause error code 195.

Memory Checkout

DIMM cards are available for increasing memory capacity.

DIMM Displayed Value 2625 365X, XD Displayed Value 2635 380-385
No DIMM installed 7808KB 16000KB
8MB 16000KB 24192KB
16MB 24192KB 32384KB
32MB 40576KB 48768KB

Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.

Use the following procedure to isolate memory problems.

NOTE: Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. Both latches must be latched completely. A loose connection can cause error code 195.

  1. Power off the computer and remove the DIMM from its  slot (if installed).
  2. Press and hold the F1 key, then power on the computer.  Hold the F1 key down until the Easy-Setup screen appears.
  3. Select Test and press Enter.
  4. Select Memory and press Enter to  run the memory test on base memory. If an error appears, replace the  system board.
  5. Power off the computer and reinstall the DIMM, then power on the  computer. Verify the memory size, then test the memory. If an error  appears, replace the DIMM.

If memory problems occur intermittently, make sure the DIMM socket latches are latched completely. If the DIMM latches are securely latched, use the loop option to repeat the test. When the test detects an error, an error log is printed on the printer connected to the parallel port.
