LCD FRU Replacement Notice
The TFT LCD (XGA 10.4–inch) for the computer contains
many thin-film transistors (TFTs). A small number of
missing, discolored, or lighted dots (on all the time) is
characteristic of TFT LCD technology, but excessive pixel
problems can cause viewing concerns. The LCD should be
replaced if the number of missing, discolored, or lighted
dots in any background is: 5 or more bright dots, 5 or more
dark dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots.
Replacing the System Board
When you replace the system board, restore the computer
Serialization Information Data and reassign the UUID using
the ThinkPad CE Utility Diskette.
Note: Do not power off the computer while restoring the
Serialization Information Data and the UUID.
