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:
v
Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can
cause serious or fatal electrical shock)
v
Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor
v
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.
Power 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 type specified in the parts list.
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.
