Service Manual IBM ThinkPad T400 R400
Use this manual along with the advanced diagnostic tests to troubleshoot
problems.
Important:
This manual is intended only for trained servicers who are familiar with
ThinkPad products. Use this manual along with the advanced diagnostic tests to
troubleshoot problems effectively.
Before servicing a ThinkPad product, be sure to read all the information under
“Safety information” on page 1 and “Important service information” on page 17.
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.
Safety information 3
v 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.
v 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
and similar units. (This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.)
v If an electrical accident occurs:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.
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.
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.
Safety information 5
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.
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 service information
This chapter presents following important service information:
v “Strategy for replacing FRUs”
– “Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive” on page 18
– “Important notice for replacing a system board” on page 18
– “How to use error message” on page 18
v “Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, CMV, and GAV” on page 19
– “Product definition” on page 19
– “FRU identification for CTO, CMV, and GAV products” on page 19
v “Important information about replacing RoHS compliant FRUs” on page 21
Important:
BIOS and device driver fixes are customer-installable. The BIOS and device
drivers are posted on the customer support site http://www.lenovo.com/support
After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest BIOS is loaded to the
system board before completing the service action.
Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and
servicing FRUs:
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.
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.
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).
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.
v 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).
v The PEW record is the 4-digit MT and 3-digit model, where model = “CTO”
(Example: 1829-CTO).
v eSupport will show both the CTO and CMV machine type models (Example:
1829-CTO and 1829-W15 will be found on the eSupport site.)
v 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.
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.
Using PEW
v 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.
v 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).
v PEW can be accessed at the following Web site: http://w3-01.ibm.com/pc/
entitle/pg2/Service.wss/display/Home
Customers can also access PEW via
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/product.do?template=/warranty/
Using eSupport
For the Remaining FRUs (the complete list of FRUs at the MT Model level)
v eSupport can be used to view the complete list of FRUs for a machine type and
model.
v 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.
Use the HMM as a back-up to PEW and eSupport to view the complete list of
FRUs at the MT Model level.
Note: RoHS and non-RoHS FRU part numbers with the same fit and function are
identified with unique FRU part numbers.
RoHS compliant FRUs have unique FRU part numbers. Before or after the RoHS
implementation date, failed RoHS compliant parts must always be replaced using
RoHS compliant FRUs, so only the FRUs identified as compliant in the system
HMM or direct substitutions for those FRUs may be used.

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:
v Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.
v Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing
FRUs.
v When you replace FRUs, use new nylon-coated screws.
v 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.
v 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.
v 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.
v Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.
Note for warranty: During the warranty period, the customer may be responsible
for repair costs if the computer damage was caused by misuse, accident,
modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by the customer.
Following is a list of some common items that are not covered under warranty and
some symptoms that might indicate that the system was subjected to stress beyond
normal use.
Before checking problems with the computer, determine whether the damage is
covered under the warranty by referring to the following list:
Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only ThinkPad products. The use of
non-ThinkPad products, prototype cards, or modified options can lead to false
indications of errors and invalid system responses.
1. Identify the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.
2. Verify the symptoms. Try to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test
or by repeating the operation.

Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS
The ThinkPad computer has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter
called PC-Doctor.) You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in
PC-Doctor. This section is an overview of the procedure. For details that depend
on model-unique functions, refer to “ThinkPad T400 and R400” on page 47.
Note:
PC-Doctor for DOS is available at following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/
support
To create the PC-Doctor diagnostic diskette, follow the instruction on the Web
site.
For some possible configurations of the computer, PC-Doctor might not run
correctly. To avoid this problem, you need to initialize the computer setup by use
of the BIOS Setup Utility before you run PC-Doctor.
Note: If a supervisor password has been set by the customer, BIOS Setup Utility
menu appears after the password is entered. You can start the utility by pressing
Enter instead of entering the supervisor password; however, you cannot change the
parameters that are protected by the supervisor password.
On the BIOS Setup Utility screen, press F9, Enter, F10, and then Enter.
Note: When you initialize the computer configuration, some devices are disabled,
such as the serial port. If you test one of these devices, you will need to enable it
by using Configuration utility for DOS. The utility is available on the following
Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support
PC-Doctor cannot be used to test a device that is in the ThinkPad Advanced Dock,
even if the computer supports the ThinkPad Advanced Dock. To test a USB device,
connect it to the USB connector of the computer.
Note: In the following procedure, you can select an item not only with the arrow
keys, but also with the TrackPoint® pointer. Instead of pressing Enter, click the left
button.
1. Insert the PC-Doctor disk into the diskette drive; then power on the computer.
If the computer cannot be powered on, go to “Power system checkout” on page
29, and check the power sources.
If an error code appears, go to “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 39.
On the first screen, select the model and press Enter. Follow the instructions on
the screen.
Note: PC-Doctor menu does not mean the formal support device list. Some
unsupported device names may appear in the PC-Doctor menu.
Use the cursor keys and ESC to move in menus. Press ENTER to select.
Note: After running PC-Doctor, check the time and date on the system and reset
them if they are incorrect.

there is a Supplemental Recovery Disc, it will be clearly marked as such.
7. When all of the data has been copied from the last disc in the set, a message is
displayed prompting you to restart the computer. Remove the disc and then
click Yes.
Note: The remainder of the recovery process is fully automated and no action
is required by you. The computer will restart into the Windows desktop several
times and you might experience periods when no activity is apparent on the
screen for several minutes at a time. This is normal.
Passwords
As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad computer: 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 35.
Hard-disk password
There are two hard-disk passwords (HDPs):
v User HDP—for the user
v Master HDP—for 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.
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 servicers 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 35.
Supervisor password
A supervisor password (SVP) protects the system information stored in the BIOS
Setup Utility. The user must enter the SVP in order to get access to the BIOS Setup
Utility and change the system configuration.
Attention: If the SVP has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the
servicer, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board
must be replaced for a scheduled fee.
To remove a user HDP that has been forgotten, when the SVP and the master HDP
are known, do the following:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F1 to enterBIOS Setup
Utility.
For models supporting the Passphrase function, press F1 while HDP icon is
appearing on the screen; then enter the master HDP. For the other models,
enter the master HDP.
To put the computer into screen blank mode, press the ThinkVantage® button and
use the ThinkVantage Productivity Center.
To end screen blank mode and resume normal operation, press any key.
Standby mode
When the computer enters standby mode, the following events occur in addition to
what occurs in screen blank mode:
v The LCD is powered off.
v The hard disk drive is powered off.
v The CPU stops.
Note: If you are using the ACPI operating system, you can change the action of
Fn+F4.
Note for the APM operating system: Even if you do not set the low-battery alarm,
the charge indicator notifies you when the battery is low, and then the computer
enters the power-saving mode automatically. This default low-battery behavior is
independent of the operating system; so if you have set the low-battery alarm, the
computer may not do what you specified. It chooses either your setting or the
default setting, whichever is appropriate.
If you are using the ACPI operating system, only the low-battery alarm is
available.
To cause the computer to return from standby mode and resume operation, do one
of the following:
v Press the Fn key.
v Open the LCD cover.
v Turn on the power switch.
Also, in either of the following events, the computer automatically returns from
standby mode and resumes operation:
Note: The computer does not accept any input immediately after it enters
standby mode. Wait a few seconds before taking any action to reenter operation
mode.
Hibernation mode
In hibernation mode, the following occurs:
v The system status, RAM, VRAM, and setup data are stored on the hard disk.
v The system is powered off.
Note: If the computer enters the hibernation mode while it is docked to the
ThinkPad Advanced Dock or ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock, do not undock it
before resuming normal operation. If you do undock it and then try to resume
normal operation, you will get an error message, and you will have to restart the
system.
Also, the computer goes into hibernation mode automatically in either of the
following conditions:
v If a “hibernation time” has been set on the timer, and if the user does not do
any operation with the keyboard, the TrackPoint, the hard disk drive, the
parallel connector, or the diskette drive within that time.
v If the timer conditions are satisfied in suspend mode.
v If you are using the APM operating system and have set the mode to Hibernate
when battery becomes low, and the battery charge becomes critically low.
When the power is turned on, the computer returns from hibernation mode and
resumes operation. The hibernation file in the boot record on the hard disk drive is
read, and system status is restored from the hard disk drive.
The symptom-to-FRU index in this section lists symptoms and errors and their
possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first, in boldface type.
Note: Do the FRU replacement or other actions in the sequence shown in the
column headed “FRU or action, in sequence.” If replacing a FRU does not solve
the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a
nondefective FRU.
This index can also help you determine, during regular servicing, what FRUs are
likely to need to be replaced next.
A numeric error is displayed for each error detected in POST or system operation.
In the displays, n can be any number.

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. The LCD should be
replaced if the number of missing, discolored, or lighted dots in any background
is as follows:
