The ThinkPad R30/R31 Hardware Maintenance Manual is IBM's service manual for the ThinkPad R30 and R31, First Edition (September 2002), 235 pages. Its page footers give machine types 2656, 2657 and 2676. No part number is printed in the scan.

Contents

Page numbers are the manual's own.

  • Introduction (pp. 1-19): important service information, drive and diskette compatibility matrix (p. 2), multilingual safety notices (p. 3), safety information (p. 13), laser compliance statement (p. 17).
  • General descriptions (pp. 20-49): read this first (p. 21); FRU replacement notices (p. 23) for the LCD, screws and system board; related service information (p. 26) including passwords, power management, Fn keys, the product recovery program and flash BIOS; checkout guide (p. 34) with the power systems checkout (p. 36); symptom-to-FRU index (p. 40).
  • ThinkPad R30, from p. 50: product overview (51), FRU removals and replacements (56), locations (84), parts list (87).
  • ThinkPad R31 Part I, from p. 100: product overview (102), FRU removals (107), locations (136), parts list (139).
  • ThinkPad R31 Part II, from p. 156: product overview (157), FRU removals (162), locations (191), parts list (194).
  • ThinkPad R31 Part III, from p. 208: product overview (209) and parts list (214).
  • Notices (p. 228).

What this manual does not contain

The manual works at FRU level. It has no schematics and no component values, and a system board is a single part number. The only capacitor it mentions is the "bulging capacitor" hazard in the safety inspection guide.

What it settles

The power systems checkout (pp. 36-39) gives the battery pack as +0 to +12.6 V dc (lithium-ion) or +0 to +13 V dc (NiMH) between terminals 1 and 6, discharged if below +11.0 V dc, and 4 to 30 kΩ between terminals 5 and 6 if the pack reads more than 9 V (lithium-ion) or 8 V (NiMH).
