Restoring the pre-installed softwareTo restore the pre-installed software, you can use either
the Product Recovery Program or a Recovery CD.
The Product Recovery Program is in a section of the hard
disk driver (the Service Partition) that is not displayed by
Windows Explorer. Use the Recovery CD if it was provided
with the computer.
Note:The recovery process might take up to 2 hours.
To use the Product Recovery program to restore the
pre-installed software, do the following:

							Checkout guide
Use the following procedure as a guide for computer
problems.
Note:The diagnostic tests are intended to test only IBM
products. Non-IBM products, prototype cards, or
modified options can give false errors and invalid
system responses.
1. Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as
possible.
2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate the
failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating
the same operation.
Testing the computer
The ThinkPad computer has a test program called
PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter calledPC-Doctor). You can
detect errors by running the diagnostics test of PC-Doctor.
This section is an overview on detecting the problem.
Refer to“Product overview”on page 95 for details that
depend on model-unique functions.
To run the test, do the following:
Note:In the following procedure, you can select an item
not only with the arrow keys, but also with the
TrackPoint. Instead of pressingEnter, you can also
click the left click button.
1. Insert the PC-Doctor DOS Disk into the diskette drive;
then power on the computer.
If the computer cannot be powered on, go to“Power
systems checkout”on page 36 and check the power
sources.
If an error code appears, go to“Symptom-to-FRU
Index”on page 40.
The PC-Doctor main panel appears.
2. SelectDiagnosticswith the arrow keys, and press
Enter.
A pull-down menu appears:
Note:The pull-down menu differs depending on the
model.
3. Run the applicable function test.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen. If there is a
problem, PC-Doctor shows some messages.
5. Reseat the cable or connector of the detected FRU
and run the test again.
34ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM 
						

							If the error recurs, replace the FRU that caused the
error.
Note:With some FRUs, especially the system board,
the problem may be caused by peripheral
FRUs. Verify that each peripheral FRU, such as
the flexible cable, has no problem by doing the
following:
a. Replace each peripheral FRU one at a time,
and run the test again.
b. If the peripheral FRUs have no problem,
replace the main FRU itself.
To see the FRU structure of each model,
refer to“Product overview”on page 95.
6. To exit the test, selectQuit–Exit Diag.
To cancel the test, pressEsc.
The following table lists the options on the test menu.

Note:InKeyboardtest withinInteractive Tests, theFnkey is

seconds; otherwise, it cannot be sensed.
Note:The testing of 802.11b requires an Access Point
properly prepared prior to conducting the test. When
testing 802.11b with PC-Doctor DOS, please
confirm the following points:
1. An OBI’s Access Point is located about 3 meters
from the system.
2. The encryption is disabled on the Access Point.
If the distance between the Access Point and the
system is too far, the test may report failure even if
the device is properly working. If the encryption is
enabled on the Access Point, the test program
ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300
35 
						

							cannot properly communicate with the Access Point
to test the device, and will report failure.
Due to the nature of wireless connection, the test
may report failure with″No LinkTest response
received″error message in the log, even if the
device is working properly. When the test failed with
this error, please repeat the test for a few times.
The device may be working properly unless the
same error persists.

To verify the symptom of the power problem on the
computer, do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
36ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM 
						

							2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Connect the AC Adapter.
4. Check that power is supplied when you power on the
computer.
5. Power off the computer.
6. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged
battery pack.
7. Check that power is supplied by the battery pack when
you power on the computer.
If you suspect a power problem, refer the appropriate
power supply check listed below:
v“Checking the AC Adapter”
v“Checking operational charging”on page 38
v“Checking the Battery ASM”on page 38
Checking the AC AdapterIf the computer fails when only the AC Adapter is used, do
the following:
vIf the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the
power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and
installation.
vIf the operational charge does not work, go to“Checking
operational charging”on page 38.
Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and
measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter
cable. See the following figure:
Pin Voltage (V dc)
1 15.5 V. - 17.0 V.
2 Ground
If the voltage is not correct, replace the AC Adapter.
If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
vReplace the system board.
vIf the problems still persist, go to“Undetermined
Problems”on page 47.
ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300

							Note:An audible noise from the AC Adapter does not
always indicate a defect.
Checking operational chargingTo check operational charging, use a discharged battery
pack (Battery ASM) or a Battery ASM that has less than
50% of the total power remaining when installed in the
computer.
Perform operational charging. If the battery status indicator
or icon does not turn on, remove the Battery ASM and let it
return to room temperature. Reinstall the Battery ASM. If
the charge indicator or icon still does not turn on, replace
the Battery ASM.
If the charge indicator still does not turn on, replace the
system board. Then reinstall the Battery ASM. If the
reinstalled Battery ASM is not charged, go to the next
section.
Checking the Battery ASM
Note:The Battery ASM may not be able to charge when it
is hot. In that case, remove it from the computer
and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it
cools down, reinstall it and recharge it.
Do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
between battery terminals 1 (-) and 7 (+). See the
following figure.

3. First, discharge the battery, until the voltage is less
than 9.6V (NiMH) or 14.4V (Li-Ion). Then, charge the
battery for 30 minutes. Now, check the voltage. If the
voltage is still less than 9.6V (NiMH) or 14.4V (Li-Ion),
replace the battery.
4. If the voltage is more than 9.6V (NiMH) or 14.4V
(Li-Ion), measure the resistance between battery
terminals 1 and 5. The resistance must be 10K

(NiMH) or 390
(Li-Ion). If the resistance is not correct,
replace the Battery ASM. If the resistance is correct,
replace the system board.

							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 does 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 should be available when servicing a computer.
Numeric error codes show the errors detected in POST or
system operation (runtime). 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”on page 47.
Note:For any IBM device not supported by the diagnostic
codes in this ThinkPad computer, see the manual
for that device.
