If the TrackPoint is disabled, select Enableto enable it. After you use the TrackPoint, the pointer may drift on the screen for a short time. This drift can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem. If the pointer stops after a short time, no service action is necessary. If enabling the TrackPoint does not correct the problem, continue with the following: vInteractive Tests-->Mouse Hard-disk driveDiagnostics-->Fixed Disks Diskette drive 1.Diagnostics-->Diskette Drives 2.Interactive Tests-->Diskette CD-ROM or DVD drive1.Diagnostics-->Other Devices--> CD-ROM/DVD 2.Interactive Tests-->CD-ROM/DVD Test (continued) Product overview ThinkPad X30, X3155
FRU Applicable test Memory 1. If two DIMMs are installed, remove one of them and runDiagnostics-->Memory Test - Quick. 2. If the problem does not recur, return the DIMM to its place, remove the other one, and run the test again. 3. If the test does not detect the error, run Diagnostics-->Memory Test - Full. Fan 1. Turn on the computer and check the air turbulence at the louver near the power switch. 2. RunDiagnostics-->Other Devices--> IBM Fan. Fn key combinations The following table shows the function of each combination of Fn with a function key. Key combinationDescription Fn+F1 Reserved. Fn+F2 Reserved. Fn+F3 Turn off the LCD display, leaving the screen blank. To turn the LCD display on again, press any key or the TrackPoint stick. Fn+F4 Turn standby mode on. To return to normal operation, press the Fn key independently, without pressing a function key. Notes: 1. This mode is called suspend mode in Windows NT. 2. In Windows XP and Windows 2000, this combination of buttons functions as a sleep button. The user can change the setting so that pressing it puts the computer into hibernation mode or even shuts the computer down. Fn+F5Note:This function is supported only in X31 series. X30 series does not have this function. Enable or disable the built-in wireless networking features ( the IEEE 802.11 standard) and the Bluetooth features. If this combination of keys are pressed, a list of wireless features is displayed in the Wireless Radio Control window. The user can quickly change the power state of each feature in the list. Note:This function is supported in Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 98. (continued) Product overview 56ThinkPad X30, X31 (MT 2672/2673)
