LCD FRU Replacement Notice: The TFT LCD
for the notebook computer contains over 2,359,296 thin-
film transistors (TFTs). A small number of missing, discol-
ored, 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:
SVGA (12.1"): 5 or more bright dots, 5 or more dark
dots, or a total of 9 or more bright and dark dots
XGA (13.3"/14.1"): 8 or more bright dots, 8 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 system unit serial
number using the RFID Utility and reassign the UUID using
the Flash UUID Utility in the ThinkPad 390E CE Utility
Diskette. See “Writing the RFID Data” on page 49 and
“Flash UUID” on page 49 respectively.
Note: Do not power off the computer while restoring the
RFID.
