Troubleshooting Use the following procedure as a guide for computer problems. NOTE: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only Acer products. Non-Acer products, prototype cards, or modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses. Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.
System Check Procedures External Diskette Drive Check Do the following to isolate the problem to a controller, driver, or diskette. A write-enabled, diagnostic diskette is required. NOTE: Make sure that the diskette does not have more than one label attached to it. Multiple labels can cause damage to the drive or cause the drive to fail.
External keyboard • If any of these devices do not work, reconnect the cable connector and repeat the failing operation. Memory Check Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system. Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the diagnostic program (please refer to main board. Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items.
Check the Battery Pack To check the battery pack, do the following: From Software: Check out the Power Management in control Panel In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct.
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Messages The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first.
