IBM Thinkpad R32 Manual

5. Reseat the cable or connector of the detected FRU
and run the test again.
If the error recurs, replace the FRU that caused the
error.
Note:With some FRUs, especially the system board,
the problem may be caused by peripheral
FRUs. Verify that each peripheral FRU, such as
the flexible cable, has no problem by doing the
following:
a. Replace each peripheral FRU one at a time,
and run the test again.
b. If the peripheral FRUs have no problem,
replace the main FRU itself.

Checking the AC AdapterYou care here because the computer fails only when the
AC Adapter is used:
vIf the power-on indicator does not turn on, check the
power cord of the AC Adapter for correct continuity and
installation.
vIf the operational charge does not work, go to“Checking
operational charging”.
Unplug the AC Adapter cable from the computer and
measure the output voltage at the plug of the AC Adapter
cable. See the following figure:

Checking the Battery ASM
Note:The Battery ASM may not be able to charged when
it is hot. In that case, remove it from the computer
and leave it at room temperature for a while. After it
cools down, reinstall it and recharge it.
Do the following:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage
between battery terminals 1 (+) and 6 (-). See the
following figure.

Symptom-to-FRU Index
The Symptom-to-FRU Index lists the symptoms and errors
and the possible causes. The most likely cause is listed
first.
Note:Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the
sequence shown in the FRU/Action columns. If a
FRU does not solve the problem, put the original
part back in the computer. Do not replace a
non-defective FRU.
This index can also be used to help you decide which
FRUs should be available when servicing a computer.
