The following auxiliary input devices are supported for this
computer:
Numeric keypad
Mouse (PS/2 compatible)
External keyboard (with keyboard/mouse cable)
If any of these devices do not work, reseat the cable
connector and repeat the failing operation.
If the problem does not recur, recheck the connector.
If the problem is not corrected, replace the device, and
then the system board.
TrackPoint III Checkout
If the TrackPoint III does not work, check the configuration
in the ThinkPad Features program. If the configuration of
the TrackPoint III is disabled, select Enable to enable it.
If this does not correct the TrackPoint III problem, continue
with the following:
The TrackPoint III does automatic compensations to adjust
the pointer sensor. During this process, the pointer moves
on the screen automatically for a short time. This
self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight,
steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint III pointer
while the computer is powered on or while the system is
running, or when readjustment is required because the
temperature has exceeded its normal temperature range.
This symptom does not indicate a hardware problem. No
service actions are necessary if the pointer movement
stops in a short period of time.
If a click button problem or pointing stick problem occurs,
do the following:
1. Go to the Easy-Setup screen.
2. Select an item with the pointing stick.
3. Press either the left or right click button.
4. Verify that both buttons work correctly.
If either the pointing stick or the click button does not work,
do the following actions one at a time to correct the
problem. Do not replace a nondefective FRU.
Reseat the keyboard flexible cables.
Replace the keyboard.
Replace the subcard.
Replace the system board.
Diskette Drive Test
Do the following to isolate the problem to a controller,
drive, or diskette. A scratch, write enabled, nondefective
2HD diskette is required.
