Chapter 6. FRU replacement notices

This chapter presents notices related to removing and replacing parts. Read this chapter carefully before
replacing any FRU.
CRU statement for customers:
You can resolve some problems with your product with a replacement part you can install yourself, called
a "Customer Replaceable Unit" or "CRU." Some CRUs are designated as self-service CRUs and others
are designated as optional-service CRUs. Installation of self-service CRUs is your responsibility. For
optional-service CRUs, you can either install the CRU yourself or you can request that a Service Provider
install the CRU according to the warranty service for your product. If you intend on installing the CRU,
Lenovo will ship the CRU to you. CRU information and replacement instructions are shipped with your
product and are available from Lenovo at any time upon request. You can find a list of CRUs for your
product in this Hardware Maintenance Manual. An electronic version of this manual can be found at
http://www.lenovo.com/support. Click Guides & Manuals and then follow the on-screen instructions to find
the manual for your product. You might be required to return the defective part that is replaced by the CRU.
When return is required: (1) return instructions, a prepaid shipping label, and a container will be included
with the replacement CRU; and (2) you might be charged for the replacement CRU if Lenovo does not
receive the defective CRU within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement CRU. See your Lenovo
Limited Warranty documentation for full details.

Screw notices

Loose screws can cause a reliability problem. In the ThinkPad notebook computer, this problem is addressed
with special nylon-coated screws that have the following characteristics:
• They maintain tight connections.
• They do not easily come loose, even with shock or vibration.
• They are harder to tighten.
Do the following when you service this machine:
• Keep the screw kit in your tool bag. For the part number of the screw kit, go to
http://www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup.
• It is recommended to use new screws.
