iv ThinkPad Yoga 260 Hardware Maintenance Manual
Chapter 1. Safety information
This chapter presents following safety information that you need to be familiar with before you service a
ThinkPad notebook computer.
• “General safety” on page 1
• “Electrical safety” on page 1
• “Safety inspection guide” on page 2
• “Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge” on page 3
• “Grounding requirements” on page 4
• “Safety notices (multilingual translations)” on page 4

General safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
• When lifting any heavy object:
1. Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with your leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the
muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any object that weighs more than 16 kg (35 lb) or that you
think is too heavy for you.
• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or that makes the equipment unsafe.
• Before you start the machine, make sure that other service technicians and the customer's personnel are
not in a hazardous position.
• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the
machine.
• Keep your toolcase away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Make sure that your
sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, about 8
centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Attention: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

• Wear safety glasses when you are hammering, drilling, soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using
solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.
• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that
is worn or defective.
• Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
• Fan louvers on the machine help to prevent overheating of internal components. Do not obstruct fan
louvers or cover them with labels or stickers.

Electrical safety
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

Important: Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft
material that does not insulate you when working with live electrical currents.Many customers have, near
their equipment, rubber floor mats that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges.
Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

© Copyright Lenovo 2015, 2017 1

• Find the room emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnecting switch, or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can then operate the switch or unplug the power cord quickly.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
• Disconnect all power before:
– Performing a mechanical inspection
– Working near power supplies
– Removing or installing main units
• Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer
to power-off the wall box that supplies power to the machine, and to lock the wall box in the off position.
• If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:
– Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you.

Attention: Another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.
– Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other hand in your
pocket or behind your back.

Attention: An electrical shock can occur only when there is a complete circuit. By observing the above
rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.
– When using testers, set the controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
– Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as
metal floor strips and machine frames.
Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; Instructions for these
precautions are in the safety sections of maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high
voltages.
• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered off.
• Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors,
ungrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.
• Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental mirror. The surface is
conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.
• Do not service the following parts with the power on when they are removed from their normal operating
places in a machine:
– Power supply units
– Pumps
– Blowers and fans
– Motor generators
– Parts similar to those listed above
This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.
• If an electrical accident occurs:
– Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
– Switch off power.
– Send another person to get medical aid.

Safety inspection guide

The purpose of this inspection guide is to assist you in identifying potentially unsafe conditions. As each
machine was designed and built, required safety items were installed to protect users and service
technicians from injury. This guide addresses only those items. You should use good judgment to identify
potential safety hazards due to attachment of non-ThinkPad features or options not covered by this
inspection guide.

If any unsafe conditions are present, you must determine how serious the apparent hazard could be and
whether you can continue without first correcting the problem.

2 ThinkPad Yoga 260 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Consider these conditions and the safety hazards they present:
• Electrical hazards, especially primary power (primary voltage on the frame can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock)
• Explosive hazards, such as a damaged CRT face or a bulging capacitor
• Mechanical hazards, such as loose or missing hardware

To determine whether there are any potentially unsafe conditions, use the following checklist at the
beginning of every service task. Begin the checks with the power off, and the power cord disconnected.

Checklist:
1. Check exterior covers for damage (loose, broken, or sharp edges).
2. Power off the computer. Disconnect the power cord.
3. Check the power cord for:
a. A third-wire ground connector in good condition. Use a meter to measure third-wire ground
continuity for 0.1 ohm or less between the external ground pin and the frame ground.
b. The power cord should be the authorized type specified for your computer. Go to: http://
www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup
c. Insulation must not be frayed or worn.
4. Check for cracked or bulging batteries.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Check for any obvious non-ThinkPad alterations. Use good judgment as to the safety of any non-
ThinkPad alterations.
7. Check inside the unit for any obvious unsafe conditions, such as metal filings, contamination, water or
other liquids, or signs of fire or smoke damage.
8. Check for worn, frayed, or pinched cables.
9. Check that the power-supply cover fasteners (screws or rivets) have not been removed or tampered
with.

Handling devices that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (ICs) should be considered sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects.
Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the machine, the part, the work mat, and the
person handling the part are all at the same charge.

Notes:
1. Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
2. Make sure that the ESD protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
• Avoid contact with other people.
• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when
you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Use a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when
handling ESD-sensitive devices.
• Select a grounding system, such as those listed below, to provide protection that meets the specific
service requirement.

Note: The use of a grounding system to guard against ESD damage is desirable but not necessary.
– Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.

Chapter 1. Safety information 3

 – When working on a double-insulated or battery-operated system, use an ESD common ground or
reference point. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
– Use the round ground prong of the ac plug on ac-operated computers.

Grounding requirements
Electrical grounding of the computer is required for operator safety and correct system function. Proper
grounding of the electrical outlet can be verified by a certified electrician.

This chapter introduces following important service information that applies to all machine types supported
by this manual:
• “Strategy for replacing FRUs” on page 21
– “Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive” on page 21
– “Important notice for replacing a system board” on page 22
– “How to use error message” on page 22
• “Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, special bid model, and standard models” on page 22
– “Product definition” on page 22
– “FRU identification” on page 23

Important:
• Advise customers to contact the Lenovo® Customer Support Center if they need any assistance in
obtaining or installing any software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads. Telephone numbers for
Lenovo Support are available at: http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone
• System Disassembly/Reassembly videos that show the FRU removals or replacements for the Lenovo-
authorized service technicians are available in the following support site:
http://www.lenovoservicetraining.com/ion/

Strategy for replacing FRUs

Before replacing parts:

Ensure that all software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS downloads are installed before replacing any FRUs
listed in this manual.

After a system board is replaced, ensure that the latest UEFI BIOS is loaded to the system board before
completing the service action.

To download software fixes, drivers, and UEFI BIOS, go to http://www.lenovo.com/ThinkPadDrivers and follow
the instructions on the screen.

Use the following strategy to prevent unnecessary expense for replacing and servicing FRUs:
• If you are instructed to replace a FRU but the replacement does not correct the problem, reinstall the
original FRU before you continue.
• Some computers have both a processor board and a system board. If you are instructed to replace either
the processor board or the system board, and replacing one of them does not correct the problem,
reinstall that board, and then replace the other one.
• If an adapter or a device consists of more than one FRU, any of the FRUs may be the cause of the error.
Before replacing the adapter or device, remove the FRUs, one by one, to see if the symptoms change.
Replace only the FRU that changed the symptoms.

Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive. This will cause all
customer data on the drive to be lost. Be sure that the customer has a current backup of the data before
doing this task.

Attention:

© Copyright Lenovo 2015, 2017 21

• The drive startup sequence in the computer you are servicing may have been changed. Be extremely
careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data
or programs can be overwritten.
• Ensure that you partition the mSATA solid-state drive after installing it on the computer you are servicing.
Otherwise, the mSATA solid-state drive will not function correctly. For instructions on how to partition an
mSATA solid-state drive, go to http://www.lenovo.com/support/msata-fru.

Important notice for replacing a system board

Some components mounted on a system board are very sensitive. Improper handling of a system board can
cause damage to those components, and may cause a system malfunction.

Attention: When handling a system board:

• Do not drop a system board or apply any excessive force to it.
• Avoid rough handling of any kind.
• Avoid bending a system board and hard pushing to prevent cracking at each BGA (Ball Grid Array)
chipset.

How to use error message

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose failures. If more than one error code is displayed,
begin the diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever causes the first error code may also cause false error
codes. If no error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index
for the computer you are servicing.

Strategy for replacing FRUs for CTO, special bid model, and standard
models
This topic provides information about the model types and FRU identification.

Product definition
This topic introduces different model types and how to identify each type.

Dynamic Configure To Order (CTO)

This model provides the ability for a customer to configure a Lenovo solution from a web site, and have this
configuration sent to fulfillment, where it is built and shipped directly to the customer. The machine label and
eSupport will load these products as the 4-character MT, 4-character model and 2-character country code.
The model is “CTO1” and the default country code is “WW” (example: 20AACTO1WW).

Special bid model

This model is a unique configuration that has been negotiated between Lenovo and the customer. A unique
MTM consists of a 4-character MT, a 4-character model, and a numeric 2-character country code is provided
to the customer to place orders (example: 20AA000955). The country code assigned is numeric and does not
designate a specific country or region. The custom model factsheet for the MTM indicates which country the
special bid MTM is set up for. Special bid offering is not generally announced.

Standard model
Standard models (fixed configuration) are announced and offered to all customers. The MTM portion of the
machine label consists of a 4-character MT, a 4-character model, and an alphabetic 2-character country
code. The country code assigned is alphabetic and represents a designated country or region (example:
20AA0009UK).

• “Power system checkout” on page 28

Before you go to the checkout guide, be sure to read the following important notes.

Important notes:
• Only certified trained personnel should service the computer.
• Before replacing any FRU, read the entire page on removing and replacing FRUs.
• When you replace FRUs, it is recommended use new nylon-coated screws.
• Be extremely careful during such write operations as copying, saving, or formatting. The sequence
of the drives in the computer that you are servicing might have been altered. If you select an incorrect
drive, data or programs might be overwritten.
• Replace a FRU only with another FRU of the correct model. When you replace a FRU, ensure that the
model of the machine and the FRU part number are correct by referring to the web site: http://
www.lenovo.com/serviceparts-lookup
• A FRU should not be replaced because of a single, unreproducible failure. Single failures can occur
for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a hardware defect, such as cosmic radiation,
electrostatic discharge, or software errors. Consider replacing a FRU only when a problem recurs. If you
suspect that a FRU is defective, clear the error log and run the test again. If the error does not recur, do
not replace the FRU.
• Be careful not to replace a nondefective FRU.

What to do first
When you return a FRU, you must include the following information in the parts exchange form or parts return
form that you attach to it:
1. Name and phone number of service technician
2. Date of service
3. Date on which the machine failed
4. Date of purchase
5. Failure symptoms, error codes appearing on the display, and beep symptoms
6. Procedure index and page number in which the failing FRU was detected
7. Failing FRU name and part number
8. Machine type, model number, and serial number
9. Customer's name and address

Note: During the warranty period, the customer may be responsible for repair costs if the computer damage
was caused by misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
maintenance by the customer.Following is a list of some common items that are not covered under warranty
and some symptoms that might indicate that the system was subjected to stress beyond normal use.

Passwords
As many as three passwords may be needed for any ThinkPad notebook computer: the power-on password,
the hard disk password, and the supervisor password.

If any of these passwords has been set, a prompt for it will be displayed on the screen whenever the
computer is turned on. The computer does not start until the password is entered.

Note: If only a supervisor password is set, the password prompt will not be displayed when the operating
system is started.

Chapter 4. Related service information 33

Power-on password
A power-on password protects the system from being powered on by an unauthorized person. The
password must be entered before an operating system can be started. For instructions on how to remove the
power-on password, see “How to remove the power-on password” on page 34.

Hard disk password

There are two kinds of hard disk passwords:
• User hard disk password - for the user
• Master hard disk password - for the system administrator, who can use it to get access to the hard disk
even if the user has changed the user hard disk password

Note: There are two modes for the hard disk password: User only and Master + User. The Master + User
mode requires two hard disk passwords; the system administrator enters both in the same operation. The
system administrator then provides the user hard disk password to the system user.

Attention: If the user hard disk password has been forgotten, check whether a master hard disk password
has been set. If it has, it can be used for access to the hard disk drive. If no master hard disk password is
available, neither Lenovo nor Lenovo-authorized service technicians provide any services to reset either the
user or the master hard disk password, or to recover data from the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive can
be replaced for a scheduled fee.

For how to remove the hard disk password, see “How to remove the hard disk password” on page 35.

Supervisor password
The supervisor password protects the system information stored in the ThinkPad Setup program. It provides
the following security features:
• If only a supervisor password is set, a password prompt is displayed when you try to start the ThinkPad
Setup program. Unauthorized users cannot change most of the system configuration options in the
ThinkPad Setup program without the password.
• The system administrator can use the supervisor password to access a computer even if the user of that
computer has set a power-on password. The supervisor password overrides the power-on password.
• The system administrator can set the same supervisor password on many ThinkPad notebook computers
to make administration easier.

Attention: If the supervisor password has been forgotten and cannot be made available to the service
technician, there is no service procedure to reset the password. The system board must be replaced for a
scheduled fee.

How to remove the power-on password

To remove a power-on password, do the following:

If no supervisor password has been set, do the following to remove the power-on password:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Remove the battery. For instructions on how to remove the battery, see “1120 Battery” on page 70.
3. Remove the coin-cell battery. For instructions on how to remove the coin-cell battery, see “1070 Coin-
cell battery” on page 64. Wait for a few seconds.
4. Reinstall the coin-cell battery.
5. Reinstall the battery. Turn on the computer and wait until the POST ends. After the POST ends, the

LCD-related symptoms
Important: The TFT LCD for the notebook computer contains many thin-film transistors (TFTs). The
presence of a small number of dots that are missing, discolored, or always lighted is characteristic of TFT
LCD technology, but excessive pixel problems can cause viewing concerns.If the LCD you are servicing has
two or less visible defective pixels, it should not be considered faulty. However, if the LCD has three or more
visible defective pixels, it will be deemed as defective by Lenovo and it should be replaced.
Notes:
• This policy applies to all ThinkPad notebook computers purchased on 1 January, 2008 or later.
• Lenovo will not provide warranty replacement if the LCD is within specifications because we cannot
guarantee that any replacement LCD will have zero pixel defects.
• One pixel consists of R, G, B sub-pixels.

Intermittent problems
Intermittent system hang problems can be due to a variety of causes that have nothing to do with a hardware
defect, such as cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement should be
considered only when a problem recurs.

When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:

1. Run the diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRUs.
3. If any error is detected, replace the FRU shown by the FRU code. Rerun the test to verify that no more
errors exist.

Undetermined problems
If the diagnostic tests did not identify the adapter or device that has failed, if wrong devices are installed, or if
the system simply is not operating, follow these procedures to isolate the failing FRU (do not isolate FRUs
that have no defects).

Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer.

Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. See “Power system
checkout” on page 28.
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Visually check each FRU for damage. Replace any damaged FRU.
3. Remove or disconnect all of the following devices:
a. Non-ThinkPad devices
b. Devices attached to the docking station or the port replicator
c. Printer, mouse, and other external devices
d. Battery
e. Solid-state drive
f. External diskette drive or optical drive
g. PC cards
4. Turn on the computer.
5. Determine whether the problem has been solved.
6. If the problem does not recur, reconnect the removed devices one at a time until you find the failing FRU.
7. If the problem remains, replace the following FRUs one at a time (do not replace a nondefective FRU):
a. System board
b. LCD assembly

• “Retaining the UUID” on page 55

Restoring the serial number of the system unit

When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial
numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the
life of the computer.

If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.

The serial number of the system unit is written on the label attached to the bottom of the computer.

If you cannot find the serial number of the system unit on the bottom of the computer, try the following
method to get the number:

Note: Before you perform the operation, ensure that the UEFI/Legacy setting within the Startup menu in the
ThinkPad Setup program is set to UEFI Only.
1. Connect a USB memory key to the computer.
2. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/maintenanceutilities and follow the instructions on the screen to create a
Maintenance Key.

Note: Only an authorized Lenovo service technician can access the above Web site.
3. Restart the computer.

Asset ID screen is displayed.
4. Type 1 under Enter the action desired, then press Enter. Then follow the instructions on the screen to
restore the serial number of the system unit.

Retaining the UUID

The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number uniquely assigned to your computer at
production and stored in the EEPROM of your system board.

The algorithm that generates the number is designed to provide unique IDs until the year A.D. 3400. No two
computers in the world have the same number.

When you replace the system board, perform the following steps to create a new UUID for the system board
if the system board does not have a UUID:

Note: Before you perform the operation, ensure that the UEFI/Legacy setting within the Startup menu in the
ThinkPad Setup program is set to UEFI Only.
1. Connect a USB memory key to the computer.
2. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/maintenanceutilities and follow the instructions on the screen to create a
Maintenance key.

Note: Only an authorized Lenovo service technician can access the above Web site.
3. Restart the computer.
4. When the logo screen is displayed, press Esc. The ThinkPad Config Information Update Utility interface
is displayed.
5. Type 2 under Enter the action desired, then press Enter. The Auto UUID generation utility interface is
displayed.
6. Type y under Change UUID. OK? [Y/N], then press Enter. A new UUID is created and written. If a valid
UUID already exists, it is not overwritten.

Important notices for replacing a battery

Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and
provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use.

The Lenovo Solution Center program provides an automatic battery diagnostic test that determines if the
battery is defective. A battery FRU should not be replaced unless this diagnostic test shows that the battery
is defective. The only exception to this is if the battery is physically damaged or a customer is reporting a
possible safety issue.

If the Lenovo Solution Center program is not installed on the computer, the customer should download and
install the program to diagnose the battery, before getting a non-physically damaged battery replaced. Note
that the replacement of a physically damaged battery is not covered by the warranty.

1190 System board

Important notices for handling the system board

When handling the system board, read the following:

• The system board has an accelerometer, which can be broken when several thousands of G-forces are
applied.

Note: Dropping a system board from a height of as little as 0.15 m (6 inches) so that it falls flat on a hard
bench can subject the accelerometer to as much as 6000 G's of shock.
• Be careful not to drop the system board on a bench top that has a hard surface, such as metal, wood, or
composite.
• Avoid rough handling of any kind.
• At every point in the process, be sure not to drop or stack the system board.
• If you put a system board down, be sure to put it only on a padded surface such as an ESD mat or a
corrugated conductive material.
