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 (on all the time) is 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: vXGA : 8 or more bright dots, 8 or more dark dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.

FRU replacement should only be considered when a recurring problem exists. When analyzing on intermittent problem, do the following: MT 2658/2659/2677 53
1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board at least 10 times. 2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs. 3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors. Undetermined Problems 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. vHard disk drive connection board vLCD assembly vSystem board 54ThinkPad R32 Series
