If the following symptoms are present, they may indicate damage caused by nonwarranted activity: Missing parts may be a symptom of unauthorized service or modification. HDD spindles can become noisy if subjected to excessive force or by being dropped. I9990303 errors can be caused by exposure to strong magnetic fields. How to Disable the Power-On Password: Important This information is not available in this online HMM format. See your IBM Servicer or IBM Authorized Dealer for this procedure. Supervisor and Hard Disk Passwords: The supervisor password and the hard disk password (HDP) are security features that are used to protect the system and the hard disk data from unauthorized access. No overriding capability is provided. If only a hard disk password is set, obtaining permission from the password owner to unlock the password is a prerequisite for running diagnostic tests and performing service. If both supervisor password and hard disk password are set, you can enter Easy-Setup by pressing the Enter key or power-on password at the supervisor password prompt. In this case, the Password, Start up, and Initialize icons cannot be selected. See "Password Combinations (POP, HDP, PAP)" on page 375 for more information about passwords. Power Shutdown Switch: The power shutdown switch resets the system regardless of the microcode status and forces the power off. Use this push button to power-off when power is not completely off or the microcode is in a hung state. See "Rear View" on page 479 for the power shutdown switch. 340 IBM Mobile Systems - ThinkPad HMM Volume 3
