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 2
• “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
• “Laser compliance statement (multilingual translations)” on page 19
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.
2L380, L380 Yoga, S2 3rd Gen, and S2 Yoga 3rd Gen Hardware Maintenance Manual
• If an electrical accident occurs:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.
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: http://
www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup.
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.
Chapter 1.Safety information 3
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.
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 25
– “Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive” on page 25
– “Important notice for replacing a system board” on page 26
– “How to use error codes” on page 26
• “Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, special-bid, and standard models” on page 26
– “Product definition” on page 26
– “FRU identification” on page 27
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:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone
• 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 http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers
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.
© Copyright Lenovo 2018 25
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).

Chapter 3. General checkout
This chapter presents following information:
• “What to do first” on page 29
• “Checkout guide” on page 30
• “Power system checkout” on page 33
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

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.
38 L380, L380 Yoga, S2 3rd Gen, and S2 Yoga 3rd Gen Hardware Maintenance Manual
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 39.
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 40.
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.
How to remove the power-on password
To remove the power-on password, do one of the following:

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.
Table 5. LCD-related symptoms
Symptom or error FRU or action, in sequence
No beep, power-on indicator on, and a blank LCD during
POST.

• LCD backlight not working.
• LCD too dark.
• LCD brightness cannot be adjusted.
• LCD contrast cannot be adjusted.
1. Reseat the LCD connectors.
2. Replace the LCD assembly.
3. Replace the system board.
• LCD screen unreadable.
• Characters missing pixels.
• Screen abnormal.
• Wrong color displayed.
1. See important note for “LCD-related symptoms.”
2. Reseat all LCD connectors.
3. Replace the LCD assembly.
4. Replace the system board.
Horizontal or vertical lines displayed on LCD. Replace the LCD assembly.
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.
Undetermined problems
If the diagnostic tests did not identify the device that has failed, if wrong devices are installed, or if the
system simply is not operating, follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate FRUs that
have no defects).
Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.
Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power system
checkout” on page 33)

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:
http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup
• 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
© Copyright Lenovo 2018 69
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 70
• “Retaining the UUID” on page 71
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:

CRU statement for customers:
You can resolve some problems with your product with a replacement part you can install yourself, called a
“Customer Replaceable Unit” or “CRU.” Some CRUs are designated as self-service CRUs and others are
designated as optional-service CRUs. Installation of self-service CRUs is your responsibility. For optional-
service CRUs, you can either install the CRU yourself or you can request that a Service Provider install the
CRU according to the warranty service for your product. If you intend on installing the CRU, Lenovo will ship
the CRU to you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your product and are
available from Lenovo at any time upon request. You can find a list of CRUs for your product in this Hardware
Maintenance Manual. An electronic version of this manual can be found at http://www.lenovo.com/support.
Click User Guides & Manuals and then follow the on-screen instructions to find the manual for your
product. You might be required to return the defective CRU. When return is required: (1) return instructions, a
prepaid shipping label, and a container will be included with the replacement CRU; and (2) you might be
charged for the replacement CRU if Lenovo does not receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your
receipt of the replacement CRU. See your Lenovo Limited Warranty documentation for full details.
