							LCD-Related Symptoms
LCD FRU Replacement NoticeThe TFT LCD for the computer contains many
thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small number of
missing, discolored, or lighted dots is a
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:
vSVGA : 5 or more bright dots, 5 or more dark
dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.
vXGA : 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more dark dots,
or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.

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, electronic discharge, or
software errors. FRU replacement should only be
considered when a recurring problem exists.
When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board at least
10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
46ThinkPad i Series 1200/1300 HMM 
						

							3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the
test to verify that there are no more errors.
Undetermined Problems
If the diagnostic tests did not identify which adapter or
device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether
a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is
inoperative, follow the procedures below to isolate the
failing FRU.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the
failure is operating correctly.
1. Power off the computer.
2. Check the cables, wires, and connectors for short
circuits and open circuits. Visually check them for
damage. If any problems are found, replace the FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
vNon-IBM devices
vPrinter, external mouse & keyboard, and other
external devices
vBattery pack
vHard disk drive
vCD-ROM drive/Diskette drive (optional)
vPC Card (PCMCIA)
4. Power on the computer.
5. Determine if the problem has changed.
6. If the problem does not occur again, reconnect the
removed devices one at a time until you find the failing
FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one
at a time. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

							vWhen replacing a FRU, use the correct screw size, as
shown in the procedure.
Safety Notice 1Translations in″Safety Notices (Multi-lingual
Translations)″section: Before the computer is
powered-on after FRU replacement, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place
and are not left loose inside the computer. Verify
this by shaking the computer and listening for
rattling sounds. Metallic parts or metal flakes can
cause electrical shorts.
Safety Notice 3Translations in″Safety Notices (Multi-lingual
Translations)″section: The battery pack contains
small amounts of nickel. Do not disassemble it,
throw it into fire or water, or short-circuit it. Dispose
of the battery pack as required by local ordinances
or regulations. Use only the battery in the
appropriate parts listing when replacing the battery
pack. Use of an incorrect battery can result in
ignition or explosion of the battery.
Safety Notice 8Translations in″Safety Notices (Multi-lingual
Translations)″section: Before removing any FRU,
power-off the computer, unplug all power cords from
electrical outlets, remove the battery pack, then
disconnect any interconnecting cables.
Attention:The system board is sensitive and can be
damaged by electronic discharge. Establish personal
grounding by touching a ground point with one hand before
touching these units.
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) strap (P/N: 6405959)
must be used to establish personal grounding.
