1. Go to the diagnostic menu by selecting Test in the

Easy-Setup menu.

2. Select Audio and run the diagnostic tests.
3. If the test detects a audio problem, replace the

system board.

Diskette Drive Checkout

Do the following to isolate the problem to a controller,
drive, or diskette. A write-enabled, blank, formatted 2HD
diskette is required.

FDD-1 represents a diskette drive in the UltraBay II.
FDD-2 represents the port replicator, docking station, or
diskette drive attached through the external diskette drive
connector.

Attention

Make sure that the diskette does not have more than
one label attached to it. Multiple labels can cause
damage to the drive or cause the drive to fail.

Do the following to select the test device:

1. Click on Test in the Easy-Setup menu.

2. Press Ctrl

+

A to enter the advanced diagnostic menu.

The ThinkPad FRU Connections window appears.

3. Click on Exit

The keyboard layout screen appears.

4. Click on Exit.

5. Click on FDD-1 or FDD-2.

6. Type Y (Yes) to the question on the screen. Insert

the blank diskette when instructed.

7. Press Enter to run the diskette drive test.

8. If the controller test detects an error, FRU code 10

appears. Replace the system board.

9. If the controller test runs without errors, the drive

read/write tests start automatically.

10. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 for

FDD-1 or 51 for FDD-2 appears. If the diskette itself
is known to be good, replace the drive.

11. If FDD-2 test detects an error, move the drive into the

computer's UltraBay II, if possible, and test it again as
FDD-1.

If no errors occur in the FDD-1 position, the drive is
not defective. If the drive is attached to the port
replicator, go to “Common Devices Checkout” on
page 681 to isolate the replicator problem.
Otherwise, go on to the next step.
