Important safety information
Note:
Read important safety information first.
This information can help you safely use your notebook personal computer.
Follow and retain all information included with your computer. The
information in this document does not alter the terms of your purchase
agreement or the Lenovo®Limited Warranty. For more information, see
Chapter 3, Warranty Information in the Safety and Warranty Guide. The latest
Safety and Warranty Guide has been uploaded on the Web site. See “Notice for
Safety and Warranty information” on page 28.
Customer safety is important. Our products are developed to be safe and
effective. However, personal computers are electronic devices. Power cords,
power adapters, and other features can create potential safety risks that can
result in physical injury or property damage, especially if misused. To reduce
these risks, follow the instructions included with your product, observe all
warnings on the product and in the operating instructions, and review the
information included in this document carefully. By carefully following the
information contained in this document and provided with your product, you
can help protect yourself from hazards and create a safer computer work
environment.
Note: This information includes references to power adapters and batteries. In
addition to notebook computers, some products (such as speakers and
monitors) ship with external power adapters. If you have such a product, this
information applies to your product. In addition, computer products contain a
coin-sized internal battery that provides power to the system clock even when
the computer is unplugged, so the battery safety information applies to all
computer products.
Conditions that require immediate action
Products can become damaged due to misuse or neglect. Some product
damage is serious enough that the product should not be used again until it
has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by an authorized servicer.
As with any electronic device, pay close attention to the product when it is
turned on. On very rare occasions, you might notice an odor or see a puff of
smoke or sparks vent from your product. Or you might hear sounds like
popping, cracking or hissing. These conditions might merely mean that an
© Copyright Lenovo 2009 v
internal electronic component has failed in a safe and controlled manner.
Or, they might indicate a potential safety issue. However, do not take risks
or attempt to diagnose the situation yourself. Contact the Customer Support
Center for further guidance. For a list of Service and Support phone
numbers, see the following Web site:
http://www.lenovo.com/support/phone
Frequently inspect your computer and its components for damage or wear
or signs of danger. If you have any question about the condition of a
component, do not use the product. Contact the Customer Support Center or
the product manufacturer for instructions on how to inspect the product
and have it repaired, if necessary.
In the unlikely event that you notice any of the following conditions, or if
you have any safety concerns with your product, stop using the product and
unplug it from the power source and telecommunication lines until you can
speak to the Customer Support Center for further guidance.
vPower cords, plugs, power adapters, extension cords, surge protectors, or
power supplies that are cracked, broken, or damaged.
vSigns of overheating, smoke, sparks, or fire.
vDamage to a battery (such as cracks, dents, or creases), discharge from a
battery, or a buildup of foreign substances on the battery.
vA cracking, hissing or popping sound, or strong odor that comes from the
product.
vSigns that liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen onto the computer
product, the power cord or power adapter.
vThe computer product, power cord, or power adapter has been exposed to
water.
vThe product has been dropped or damaged in any way.
vThe product does not operate normally when you follow the operating
instructions.
Note: If you notice these conditions with a product (such as an extension
cord) that is not manufactured for or by Lenovo, stop using that product until
you can contact the product manufacturer for further instructions, or until you
get a suitable replacement.
Safety guidelines
Always observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury and
property damage.
vi ThinkPad T410s, T410, T510, and W510 Service and Troubleshooting Guide
For more information, see Chapter 1, Important safety information in the
Safety and Warranty Guide. The latest Safety and Warranty Guide has been
uploaded on the Web site. See “Notice for Safety and Warranty information”
on page 28.
Batteries
DANGER
Personal computers manufactured by Lenovo contain a coin cell battery to
provide power to the system clock. In addition, many mobile products, such as
notebook computers, utilize a rechargeable battery pack to provide system power
when in portable mode. Batteries supplied by Lenovo for use with your product
have been tested for compatibility and should only be replaced with approved
parts.
Never attempt to open or service any battery. Do not crush, puncture, or
incinerate batteries or short circuit the metal contacts. Do not expose the battery
to water or other liquids. Only recharge the battery pack strictly according to
instructions included in the product documentation.
Battery abuse or mishandling can cause the battery to overheat, which can cause
gasses or flame to “vent” from the battery pack or coin cell. If your battery is
damaged, or if you notice any discharge from your battery or the buildup of
foreign materials on the battery leads, stop using the battery and obtain a
replacement from the battery manufacturer.
Batteries can degrade when they are left unused for long periods of time. For
some rechargeable batteries (particularly Lithium Ion batteries), leaving a battery
unused in a discharged state could increase the risk of a battery short circuit,
which could shorten the life of the battery and can also pose a safety hazard. Do
not let rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries completely discharge or store these
batteries in a discharged state.
Important safety information vii
Rechargeable battery notice
DANGER
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack. Attempting to do so
can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the battery pack. A battery pack
other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled or modified battery
pack is not covered by the warranty.
If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is danger of an
explosion. The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful substances. To
avoid possible injury:
vReplace only with a battery of the type recommended by Lenovo.
vKeep the battery pack away from fire.
vDo not expose it to water or rain.
vDo not attempt to disassemble it.
vDo not short-circuit it.
vKeep it away from children.
vDo not drop the battery pack.
Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in landfills. When
disposing of the battery, comply with local ordinances or regulations.
The battery pack should be stored at room temperature, charged to approximately
30 to 50% of capacity. We recommend that battery pack be charged about once
per year to prevent overdischarge.
viii ThinkPad T410s, T410, T510, and W510 Service and Troubleshooting Guide
Lithium coin cell battery notice
DANGER

Appendix A. Warranty information 15
Types of warranty service
1. Customer Replaceable Unit (″CRU″) Service
Under CRU Service, your Service Provider will ship CRUs to you for
installation by you. CRU information and replacement instructions are
shipped with your product and are available from Lenovo at any time
upon request. CRUs that are easily installed by you are called Self-service
CRUs, while Optional-service CRUs may require some technical skill and
tools. Installation of Self-service CRUs is your responsibility. You may
request that a Service Provider install Optional-service CRUs under one of
the other types of warranty service designated for your product. An
optional service offering may be available for purchase from Lenovo to
have Lenovo install Self-service CRUs for you. You may find a list of
CRUs and their designation in the publication that ships with your
product or at http://www.lenovo.com/CRUs. The requirement to return a
defective CRU, if any, will be specified in the materials shipped with a
replacement CRU. When return is required, 1) return instructions, a
prepaid return shipping label, and a container will be included with the
replacement CRU; and 2) you may be charged for the replacement CRU if
your Service Provider does not receive the defective CRU within thirty
(30) days of your receipt of the replacement.
2. On-site Service
Under On-Site Service, your Service Provider will either repair or
exchange the product at your location. You must provide a suitable
working area to allow disassembly and reassembly of the Lenovo product.
For some products, certain repairs may require your Service Provider to
send the product to a designated service center.
3. Courier or Depot Service
Under Courier or Depot Service, your product will be repaired or
exchanged at a designated service center, with shipping arranged by your
Service Provider. You are responsible for disconnecting the product. A
shipping container will be provided to you for you to return your product
to a designated service center. A courier will pick up your product and
deliver it to the designated service center. Following its repair or exchange,
the service center will arrange the return delivery of the product to you.
4. Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service
Under Customer Carry-In or Mail-In Service, your product will be
repaired or exchanged at a designated service center, with delivery or
shipping arranged by you. You are responsible to deliver or mail, as your
Service Provider specifies, (prepaid by you unless specified otherwise) the
product, suitably packaged to a designated location. After the product has
been repaired or exchanged, it will be made available for your collection.
Failure to collect the product may result in your Service Provider
16 ThinkPad T410s, T410, T510, and W510 Service and Troubleshooting Guide
disposing of the product as it sees fit. For Mail-in Service, the product will
be returned to you at Lenovo expense, unless your Service Provider
specifies otherwise.
5. Product Exchange Service
Under Product Exchange Service, Lenovo will ship a replacement product
to your location. You are responsible for its installation and verification of
its operation. The replacement product becomes your property in exchange
for the failed product, which becomes the property of Lenovo. You must
pack the failed product in the shipping carton used to ship the
replacement product and return it to Lenovo. Transportation charges, both
ways, are paid by Lenovo. Failure to use the carton in which the
replacement product was received may result in your responsibility for
damage to the failed product during shipment. You may be charged for
the replacement product if Lenovo does not receive the failed product
within thirty (30) days of your receipt of the replacement product.

Appendix B. Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs)
Customer Replaceable Units (CRUs) are computer parts that the customer can
upgrade or replace. There are two types of CRU: self-service and
optional-service. Self-service CRUs are easy to install. They may be standalone
or latched, or require a screwdriver to remove a maximum of two screws,
whereas optional-service CRUs require some technical skill, as well as tools
such as a screwdriver. However, both self-service and optional-service CRUs
are safe for the customer to remove and replace.
Customers are responsible for replacing all self-service CRUs. Optional-service
CRUs can be removed and installed by customers or, during the warranty
period, by a Lenovo service technician.
Lenovo notebook computers contain both self-service and optional-service
CRUs:
vSelf-service CRUs: these CRUs can be unplugged, or are secured by no
more than two screws. Examples of this type of CRU are the AC adapter,
the power cord, the battery, and the hard drive. In some products, such
components as memory, wireless cards, notebook keyboards, and palm rests
with fingerprint reader and touchpad may also be CRUs.
vOptional-service CRUs: these CRUs are isolated parts within the computer
that are concealed by an access panel, which is typically secured by more
than two screws. Once the access panel is removed, the CRU is visible. Both
types of CRU are listed in the table on the following page.
Online Access Help and Lenovo Internet Support site, http://
www.lenovo.com/CRUs, provide instructions for replacing self-service and
optional-service CRUs.
To start the Access Help program, do as follows:
vFor Windows 7: Click Start and click Help and Support. In the Windows
Help and Support, click Lenovo Access Help.
vFor Windows Vista and Windows XP: Click Start, move the pointer to All
Programs; then to ThinkVantage; then click Access Help.
Lenovo Internet Support site, http://www.lenovo.com/CRUs, offers three
options to begin your search: auto detect, “enter the machine type,” and a
“drop down and select.” Additionally, the Setup Instructions provides
instructions for several critical CRUs.
© Copyright Lenovo 2009 19
If you are unable to access these instructions or if you have difficulty
replacing a CRU, you can use the following additional resource:
vThe Customer Support Center. For the telephone number of the Support
Center for your country or region, see “Worldwide telephone list” on page
7.
Note: Use only computer parts provided by Lenovo. For warranty
information about the CRUs for your machine type, see Chapter 3, Warranty
Information in the Safety and Warranty Guide.
