•  Signs of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.

•  Damage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a battery, or a buildup of foreign 

substances on the battery.

•  A cracking, hissing, or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the product. 

•  Signs that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer product, the power cord, or 

power adapter.

•  The computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to water. 

•  The product has been dropped or damaged in any way. 

•  The product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions.

Note:

If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension cord) that is not manufactured for 

or by Lenovo, stop using that product until you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, 
or until you get a suitable replacement.

Service and upgrades

Do not attempt to service a product yourself unless instructed to do so by the Customer Support Center or 
your documentation. Only use a Service Provider who is approved to repair your particular product.

Note:

Some computer parts can be upgraded or replaced by the customer. Upgrades typically are referred 

to as options. Replacement parts approved for customer installation are referred to as Customer 
Replaceable Units, or CRUs. Lenovo provides documentation with instructions when it is appropriate for 
customers to install options or replace CRUs. You must closely follow all instructions when installing or 
replacing parts. The Off state of a power indicator does not necessarily mean that voltage levels inside a 
product are zero. Before you remove the covers from a product equipped with a power cord, always ensure 
that the power is turned off and that the product is unplugged from any power source. If you have any 
questions or concerns, contact the Customer Support Center.

Although there are no moving parts in the computer after the power cord has been disconnected, the 
following warnings are required for your safety.

Moving Parts:

Keep fingers and other parts of your body away from hazardous, moving parts. If you suffer an injury, seek 
medical care immediately.

Hot Surface:

Avoid contact with hot components inside the computer. During operation, some components become hot 
enough to burn the skin. Before you open the computer cover, turn off the computer, disconnect power, and 
wait approximately 10 minutes for the components to cool.

After replacing a CRU, reinstall all protective covers, including the computer cover, before connecting power 
and operating the computer. This action is important to help prevent unexpected electrical shock and help 
ensure the containment of an unexpected fire that could happen under extremely rare conditions.
