TP 701C/CS - Symptom-To-FRU Index

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom-to-FRU Index:
The Symptom-to-FRU Index contains tables that list causes of symptoms. The most likely cause is listed first. Use this index to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a Computer.

Safety Notice 8:
Before removing any FRU, power-off the computer, unplug all power cords from electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, then disconnect any interconnecting cables.

Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in the ¿FRU / Action— columns. If the replacement FRU did not solve the problem, put the original FRU back in the Computer.

Notes:
1. Before replacing the top and bottom system boards, try reseating the boards. If reseating the boards does not correct the problem, replace the boards.
2. If possible, install the latest level of BIOS available before replacing any FRU.

Before completely reassembling a computer that has been repaired, try to reboot the computer. to check the repairs that have been completed. However, when you reboot without the keyboard attached, the computer. will display error codes 8603, 8613, and 86XX.

Use displayed numeric error codes to determine the system problem. If numeric error codes are not available, use the other symptom tables that describe specific symptoms. If the symptom is not listed, go to ¿Undetermined Problems—.

Note:
For IBM devices not supported by diagnostic codes of TP701C/CS, see the manual for those devices.
