TP 560/E - Symptom-to-FRU Index

Applicable to: World-Wide

The following information is intended for IBM Dealers and Authorized Servicers only. Customers attempting to follow any of the procedures below may void their warranty.

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.

Note:
For IBM devices not supported by diagnostic codes in the ThinkPad notebook computers, see the manual for that device.

Numeric Error Codes:

Other codes not listed above

1. Go to Undetermined Problems.


Intermittent Problems:
Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should only be considered when a recurring problem exists.

When analyzing the intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the advanced 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.
