iv E580 and E585 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Chapter 1. Safety information

This chapter presents the following safety information that you need to be familiar with before you service a

ThinkPad notebook computer.

• “General safety” on page 1

• “Electrical safety” on page 1

• “Safety inspection guide” on page 3

• “Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge” on page 3

• “Grounding requirements” on page 4

• “Safety notices (multilingual translations)” on page 4

General safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

• When lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure that you can stand safely without slipping.

2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the

muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you

think is too heavy for you.

• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.

• Before you start the machine, ensure that other service technicians and the customer's personnel are not

in a hazardous position.

• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the

machine.

• Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.

• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves

are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, about 8

centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing, because metal

objects are good electrical conductors.

• Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using

solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that

is worn or defective.

• Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

• Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent overheating of internal components. Do not obstruct fan

louvers or cover them with labels or stickers.

Electrical safety

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important:

• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material

that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.

• Many customers have, near their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to

decrease electrostatic discharges (ESD). Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical

shock.

• Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical

accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.

• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

• Disconnect all power before:

– Performing a mechanical inspection

– Working near power supplies

– Removing or installing main units

• Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer

to power off the wall box that supplies power to the machine, and to lock the wall box in the off position.

• If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

– Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you. That person must be there

to switch off the power, if necessary.

– Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your

pocket or behind your back.

CAUTION:

An electrical shock can occur only when there is a complete circuit. By observing the above rule,

you may prevent a current from passing through your body.

– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for

that tester.

– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as

metal floor strips and machine frames.

Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages. Instructions for these

precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high

voltages.

• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered off.

• Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors,

nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

• Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is

conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

• Do not service the following parts with the power on:

– Power supply units

– Pumps

– Blowers and fans

– Motor generators

– Units similar to those listed above

This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.

• If an electrical accident occurs:

– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.

– Switch off power.

– Send another person to get medical aid.

2E580 and E585 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Safety inspection guide

The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each

machine was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service

technicians from injury. This guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify

potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-ThinkPad features or options not covered by this

inspection guide.

If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and

whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:

• Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal

electrical shock)

• Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor

• Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

To determine whether there are any potentially unsafe conditions, use the following checklist at the

beginning of every service task. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:

1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).

2. Turn off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.

3. Check the power cord for:

a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-wire ground

continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground.

b. The power cord should be the authorized type specified for your computer. Go to: https://

support.lenovo.com/partslookup.

c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.

4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.

5. Remove the cover.

6. Check for any obvious non-ThinkPad alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-

ThinkPad alterations.

7. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or

other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.

8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.

9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered

with.

Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to

electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects.

Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the

person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes:

1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.

Chapter 1.Safety information 3

2. Ensure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

• Avoid contact with other people.

• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when

you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Use a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when

handling ESD-sensitive devices.

• Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific

service requirement.

Note: The use of a grounding system to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.

– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.

– When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an ESD common ground or

reference point. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

– Use the round ground prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.

Grounding requirements

Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper

grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

Chapter 2. Important service information

This chapter introduces the following important service information that applies to all machine types

supported by this manual:

• “Strategy for replacing FRUs” on page 21

– “Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive” on page 21

– “Important notice for replacing a system board” on page 22

– “How to use error codes” on page 22

• “Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, special-bid, and standard models” on page 22

– “Product definition” on page 22

– “FRU identification” on page 22

Important:

• Advise customers to contact the Lenovo Customer Support Center if they need any assistance in

obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads. Telephone numbers for

Lenovo Support are available at:

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/supportphonelist

• System disassembly and reassembly videos that show the FRU removal or replacement procedures for

the Lenovo authorized service technicians are available at:

http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/

Strategy for replacing FRUs

Before replacing parts:

Ensure that all software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads are installed before you replace any FRUs

listed in this manual.

After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest UEFI BIOS is loaded to the system board before you

complete the service action.

To download and install software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS, go to https://support.lenovo.com and follow

the instructions on the screen.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs:

• If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall the

original FRU before you continue.

• Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either

the processor board or the system board, and replacing one of them does not correct the problem,

reinstall that board, and then replace the other one.

• If an adapter or a device consists of more than one FRU, any of the FRUs might be the cause of the error.

Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symptoms change.

Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms.

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive

Always try to run a low-level format operation before replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive. This

will cause all customer data on the drive to be lost. Ensure that the customer has a current backup of the

data before you perform this task.

Attention: The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing might have been changed. Be

extremely careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect

drive, data or programs can be overwritten.

Important notice for replacing a system board

Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper handling of a system board can

cause damage to those components, and may cause a system malfunction.

Attention: When handling a system board:

• Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.

• Avoid rough handling of any kind.

• Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each Ball Grid Array (BGA)

chipset.

How to use error codes

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed,

begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever causes the first error code might also cause false error

codes. If no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the “Symptom-to-FRU Index”

section.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, special-bid, and standard models

This topic provides information about the model types and FRU identification.

Product definition

This topic introduces different model types and how to identify each type.

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO) model

This model provides the ability for a customer to configure a Lenovo solution from a Web site, and have this

configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label and

eSupport will load these products as the 4-character MT, 4-character model, and 2-character country code.

The model is “CTO1” and the default country code is “WW” (example: 20AACTO1WW).

Special-bid model

This model is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between Lenovo and the customer. A unique

MTM consists of a 4-character MT, a 4-character model, and a numeric 2-character country code is provided

to the customer to place orders (example: 20AA000955). The country code assigned is numeric and does not

designate a specific country or region. The custom model factsheet for the MTM indicates which country the

special-bid MTM is set up for. Special-bid offering is not generally announced.

Standard model

Standard models (fixed configuration) are announced and offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the

machine label consists of a 4-character MT, a 4-character model, and an alphabetic 2-character country

code. The country code assigned is alphabetic and represents a designated country or region (example:

20AA0009UK).

FRU identification

To identify FRUs for a product, do the following:

1. Go to https://support.lenovo.com/partslookup

22 E580 and E585 Hardware Maintenance Manual

2. Type the Machine Type in the corresponding field to get a general FRU list, or type the Serial Number for

more detailed FRU information.

Chapter 3. General checkout

This chapter presents following information:

• “What to do first” on page 25

• “Checkout guide” on page 26

• “Power system checkout” on page 28

Some descriptions in this chapter might not apply to your particular computer.

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read the following important notes.

Important notes:

• Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.

• Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing FRUs.

• When you replace FRUs, it is recommended to use new nylon-coated screws.

• Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or formatting. Drives in the computer

that you are servicing sequence might have been altered. If you select an incorrect drive, data or programs might be

overwritten.

• Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model. When you replace a FRU, ensure that the model of

the machine and the FRU part number are correct.

• A FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure. Single failures can occur for a variety

of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation, ESD, or software errors.

Consider replacing a FRU only when a problem recurs. If you suspect that a FRU is defective, clear the error log and

run the test again. If the error does not recur, do not replace the FRU.

• Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.

What to do first

When you return a FRU, you must include the following information in the parts exchange form or parts return

form that you attach to it:

1. Name and phone number of service technician

2. Date of service

3. Date on which the machine failed

4. Date of purchase

5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on the display, and beep symptoms

6. Procedure index and page number in which the failing FRU was detected

7. Failing FRU name and part number

8. Machine type, model number, and serial number

9. Customer's name and address

Note: During the warranty period, the customer may be responsible for repair costs if the computer damage

was caused by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper

maintenance by the customer. Following is a list of some common items that are not covered under warranty

and some symptoms that might indicate that the system was subject to stress beyond normal use.

Before checking problems with the computer, determine whether the damage is covered under the warranty

by referring to the following list:

The following are not covered under warranty:

• LCD panel cracked from the application of excessive force or from being dropped

• Scratched (cosmetic) parts

• Distortion, deformation, or discoloration of the cosmetic parts

• Plastic parts, latches, pins, or connectors that have been cracked or broken by excessive force

• Damage caused by liquid spilled into the system

• Damage caused by the improper insertion of a PC Card or the installation of an incompatible card

• Improper disc insertion or use of an optical drive

• Diskette drive damage caused by pressure on the diskette drive cover, foreign material in the drive, or the

insertion of a diskette with multiple labels

• Damaged or bent diskette eject button

• Fuses blown by attachment of a nonsupported device

• Forgotten computer password (making the computer unusable)

• Sticky keys caused by spilling a liquid onto the keyboard

• Use of an incorrect ac power adapter on laptop products

The following symptoms might indicate damage caused by nonwarranted activities:

• Missing parts might be a symptom of unauthorized service or modification.

• Check for obvious damage to a hard disk drive. If the spindle of a hard disk drive becomes noisy, the hard

disk drive might have been dropped or subject to excessive force.

Checkout guide

Use the following procedures as a guide in identifying and correcting problems with the ThinkPad notebook

computer.

Note: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only ThinkPad products. The use of non-ThinkPad products,

prototype cards, or modified options can lead to false indications of errors and invalid system responses.

32 E580 and E585 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Passwords

As many as three passwords might be needed for a ThinkPad notebook computer: the power-on password,

the hard disk password, and the supervisor password.

If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it will be displayed on the screen whenever the

computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered.

Note: If only a supervisor password is set, the password prompt will not be displayed when the operating

system is started.

Power-on password

A power-on password protects the system from being turned on by an unauthorized person. The password

must be entered before the operating system can be started. For instructions on how to remove the power-

on password, see “How to remove the power-on password” on page 34.

Hard disk password

There are two hard disk passwords:

• User hard disk password - for the user

• Master hard disk password - for the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk

even if the user has changed the user hard disk password.

Note: There are two modes for the hard disk password: User only and Master + User. The Master + User

mode requires two hard disk passwords; the system administrator enters both in the same operation. The

system administrator then provides the user hard disk password to the system user.

Attention: If the user hard disk password has been forgotten, check whether a master hard disk password

has been set. If a master hard disk password has been set, it can be used to access the hard disk drive. If no

master hard disk password is available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo authorized service technicians provide

any services to reset either the user hard disk password or the master hard disk password, or to recover data

from the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive can be replaced for a scheduled fee.

For instructions on how to remove the hard disk password, see “How to remove the hard disk password” on

page 34.

Supervisor password

The supervisor password protects the system information stored in the ThinkPad Setup program. It provides

the following security features:

• If only a supervisor password is set, a password prompt is displayed when you try to start the ThinkPad

Setup program. Unauthorized users cannot change most of the system configuration options in the

ThinkPad Setup program without the password.

• The system administrator can use the supervisor password to access a computer even if the user of that

computer has set a power-on password. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.

• The system administrator can set the same supervisor password on many ThinkPad notebook computers

to make administration easier.

Attention: If the supervisor password has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the service

technician, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a

scheduled fee.

LCD-related symptoms

Important: The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains many thin-film transistors (TFTs). The

presence of a small number of dots that are missing, discolored, or always lighted is characteristic of TFT

LCD technology, but excessive pixel problems can cause viewing concerns.

If the LCD you are servicing has two or less visible defective pixels, it should not be considered faulty.

However, if the LCD has three or more visible defective pixels, it will be deemed as defective by Lenovo and

it should be replaced.

Notes:

• This policy applies to all ThinkPad Notebooks purchased on 1 January, 2008 or later.

• Lenovo will not provide warranty replacement if the LCD is within specifications because we cannot

guarantee that any replacement LCD will have zero pixel defects.

• One pixel consists of R, G, B sub-pixels.

Intermittent problems

Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety of causes that have nothing to do with a hardware

defect, such as cosmic radiation, ESD, or software errors. FRU replacement should be considered only when

a problem recurs.

When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.

2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.

3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more

errors exist.

Screw notices

Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. In the ThinkPad notebook computer, this problem is

addressed with special nylon-coated screws that have the following characteristics:

• They maintain tight connections.

• They do not easily come loose, even with shock or vibration.

• They are harder to tighten.

Do the following when you service the computer:

• Keep the screw kit in your tool bag. For the part number of the screw kit, go to:

https://support.lenovo.com/partslookup

• It is recommended to use new screws.

• It is recommended to use each screw only once.

Tighten screws as follows:

• Plastic to plastic

Turn an additional angle of 90 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the plastic part.

• Logic card to plastic

Turn an additional angle of 180 degrees after the screw head touches the surface of the logic card.

Notes:

• Ensure that you use the correct screw. It is recommended to use new screws for replacements. If you

have a torque screwdriver, tighten all screws firmly to the torque specified in the screw information table

for each step.

• Ensure torque screwdrivers are calibrated correctly following country specifications.

Retaining serial numbers

This topic provides instructions on the following:

• “Restoring the serial number of the system unit” on page 60

• “Retaining the UUID” on page 61

Restoring the serial number of the system unit

When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial

numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the

life of the computer.

If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.

The serial number of the system unit is written on the label attached to the bottom of the computer.

If you can not find the serial number of the system unit on the bottom of the computer, try the following

method to get the number:

Note: Before you perform the operation, ensure that the UEFI/Legacy setting within the Startup menu in the

ThinkPad Setup program is set to UEFI Only.

1. Connect a USB memory key to the computer.

2. Go to https://www.lenovo.com/maintenanceutilities and follow the instructions on the screen to create a

Maintenance key.

Note: Only an authorized Lenovo service technician can access the above Web site.

3. Restart the computer.

4. When the logo is displayed, press Esc. The ThinkPad Config Information Update Utility interface is

displayed.

5. Type 1 under Enter the action desired, then press Enter. The ThinkPad Serial Number Update Utility for

Asset ID screen is displayed.

6. Type 2 under Enter the action desired, then press Enter. The serial number of each device in your

computer is displayed; the serial number of the system unit is listed as follow:

20- Serial number

7. Record the serial number of the system unit.

60 E580 and E585 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Retaining the UUID

The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number uniquely assigned to your computer at

production and stored in the EEPROM of your system board.

The algorithm that generates the number is designed to provide unique IDs until the year A.D. 3400. No two

computers in the world have the same number.

When you replace the system board, perform the following steps to create a new UUID for the system board

if the system board does not have a UUID:

Note: Before you perform the operation, ensure that the UEFI/Legacy setting within the Startup menu in the

ThinkPad Setup program is set to UEFI Only.

1. Connect a USB memory key to the computer.

2. Go to https://www.lenovo.com/maintenanceutilities and follow the instructions on the screen to create a

Maintenance key.

Note: Only an authorized Lenovo service technician can access the above Web site.

3. Restart the computer.

4. When the logo screen is displayed, press Esc. The ThinkPad Config Information Update Utility interface

is displayed.

5. Type 2 under Enter the action desired, then press Enter. The Auto UUID generation utility interface is

displayed.

6. Type y under Change UUID. OK? [Y/N], then press Enter. A new UUID is created and written. If a valid

UUID already exists, it is not overwritten.
