PHYSICAL CHECK:
The manufacturing part number of the new inverter FRU is P/N82H5509. The existing inverter card on these models did not have a FRU part number.

Note:
DSTN LCD panel systems do not require this ECA. If a DSTN LCD has this type of symptom, normal problem determination should be used.

COMPANION:

CONCURRENT:

DETAIL:
Some 2640 systems may experience an intermittent LCD flicker during AC operation. The flicker would appear more pronounced when the brightness is set to a minimum setting.

NOTE:
ECA002 is a PREREQUISITE to correct this condition. ECA003 should only be used if the AC Adapter replacement in ECA002 does not correct the flickering condition.

This ECA corrects the TFT LCD Flicker condition by replacing the LCD inverter card. The TFT inverter is FRU P/N82H5509.

NOTES:
This ECA expiration date is 08/24/1999.
Order all FRU parts locally and record Time and Material to service code 33, ECA 003, and OTHER OFFICE 990.

EMEA PSS CE's should record all time & parts to service code 33, ECA003, other office 990.

EMEA Business Partners should use Claim type 5, quoting CPPS ECA code; "MT".
