Checking the Installed Devices List If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen, the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If the symptom remains, replace the device or the system board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly distinguish the shades of the icon. If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when NO second FDD is installed), do the following: 1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as an FDD-1, HDD-1, or PCMCIA-1. 2. If the problem remains, replace the system board. The PCMCIA-1, Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in a dark shade because the icons represent subsystems of the system board and not the attachment of the devices. The FDD-1, HDD-1, or PCMCIA-1 icons represent the first drive in the system configuration for each type of device. Similarly, the HDD-3, FDD-2, or PCMCIA-2 icons represent the second drive, usually attached through a port replicator or an expansion unit. The HDD-2 icon represents the hard disk drive in the UltraBay. Printer Test the printer by connecting it to the computer before testing it on the IBM ThinkPad Dock I. 1. Make sure the printer is correctly connected and the power is turned on. 2. Run the printer self-test. If the printer self-test does not run correctly, the problem is in the printer. Refer to the printer service manual. If the printer self-test runs correctly, connect a wrap plug on the parallel connector on the rear of IBM ThinkPad Dock I and run the advanced diagnostic tests to determine the failing FRU. If the advanced diagnostic tests (with the wrap plug connected) did not detect a failure, replace the printer cable. If the problem is not corrected, do one of the following: If the printer is attached to the parallel connector of IBM ThinkPad Dock I, replace the main card of IBM ThinkPad Dock I. If the printer is attached to the parallel connector on the adapter, replace the FRUs in the following order one at a time until the problem is corrected: 554 IBM Mobile Systems - ThinkPad HMM Volume 3
