Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Please use the following procedures 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 may occur errors or invalid responses. 1. Obtain the detailed fail symptoms as many as possible. 2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate, running the diagnostic tests or repeating the same operation.
System Check Procedures External Diskette Drive Check Do the following procedures to isolate the possible effects from a controller, driver, or diskette. A writable, diagnostic diskette is required. NOTE: Make sure that the diskette does not have more than one label attached. Multiple labels may cause damage to the drive or make the drive fail. 1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic programs. 2. See if FDD test is passed as the programs run the FDD test. 3.
• External keyboard If any of these devices do not function, reconnect the cable and repeat the anterior procedures. Memory Check Follow the procedures below to correct the memory errors. 1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic programs. 2. Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items. 3. Press F2 in the test items. 4. Follow the instructions in the message window. NOTE: Make sure that the DIMM is correctly inserted into the connector. A wrong connection will cause errors.
Check the Battery Pack Follow the procedures below to check the battery pack. From software, this helps to identify the problem is on recharging or discharging. 1. Check the Power Management in Control Panel. 2. Then confirm that the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct. 3. Repeat the step 1 and step 2 for both battery and adaptor. From hardware, this helps to identify whether you should replace the battery pack or not. 1.
After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement will occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware problem.
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Message The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes. NOTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in Error Message List, if the FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a non-defective FRU. The error messages are listed in the coming pages to indicate the BIOS signals on the screen and the error symptoms classified by functions.
