General checkout This chapter presents following information: v “What to do first” on page 24 v “Checkout guide” on page 25 – “Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS” on page 26 – “PC-D.
What to do first When you do return a FRU, you must include the following information in the parts exchange form or parts return form that you attach to it: __ 1. Name and phone number of servicer __ 2. Date of service __ 3. Date on which the machine failed __ 4.
Checkout guide Use the following procedur es as a guide in identifying and correcting problems with the ThinkPad computer . Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only ThinkPad pr oducts. The use of non-ThinkPad products, pr ototype cards, or modified options can lead to false indications of errors and invalid system r esponses.
Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS The ThinkPad computer has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (her eafter called PC-Doctor .) Yo u can detect err ors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor . This section is an overview of the procedure.
On the first screen, select the model and pr ess Enter . Follow the instructions on the screen. 2. The main panel of PC-Doctor appears. 3. Select Diagnostics with the arrow keys, and pr ess Enter . A pull-down menu appears. (Its exact form depends on the model.
5. Follow the instructions on the scr een. If there is a problem, PC-Doctor shows messages describing it. 6. To exit the test, select Quit — Exit Diag . To cancel the test, press Esc. Note: After running PC-Doctor , check the time and date on the system and reset them if they are incorr ect.
Detecting system information with PC-Doctor PC-Doctor can detect the following system information: Hardware Info v System Configuration v Memory Contents v Physical Disk Drives v Logical Disk Drives v.
Power system checkout To verify a symptom, do the following: 1. T urn off the computer . 2. Remove the battery pack. 3. Connect the ac adapter . 4. Check that power is supplied when you turn on the computer . 5. T urn off the computer . 6. Disconnect the ac adapter and install the charged battery pack.
Checking operational charging To check whether the battery charges properly during operation, use a dischar ged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50% of the total power remaining when installed in the computer . Perform operational charging.
Checking the backup battery Do the following: 1. Power off the computer , and unplug the ac adapter from it. 2. T urn the computer upside down. 3. Remove the battery pack (see “1010 Battery pack” on page 62). 4. Remove the backup battery (see “1 100 Backup battery” on page 80).
