Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Use the following procedure as a guide for computer problems. 1. Obtain the failed symptoms in as much detail as possible. 2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating the same operation. 3. If any problem occurs, you can perform visual inspection before you fellow this chapter’s instructions.
System Check Procedures External Diskette Drive Check Do the following steps 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. Do the following to select the test device. 1. The FDD heads can become dirty over time, affecting their performance. Use an FDD cleaning kit to clean the heads.
Keyboard or Auxiliary Input Device Check Remove the external keyboard if the internal keyboard is to be tested. If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected character appears, make sure that the flexible cable extending from the keyboard is correctly seated in the connector on the main board. If the keyboard cable connection is correct, run the Keyboard Test. If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU: 1.
Check the Power Adapter Unplug the power adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the power adapter cable. See the following figure Pin 1: 19V Pin 2: 0V, Ground 1. If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter. 2. If the voltage is within the range, do the following: T Replace the main board. T If the problem is not corrected, see “Undetermined Problems”. T If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
Check the Battery Pack To check the battery pack, do the following: From Software: 1. Check out the Power Options in control Panel 2. In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total Battery Power Remaining are correct. 3. Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter. 4. This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging. From Hardware: 1. Power off the computer. 2.
still occurs, continue next step. Replace the CPU with another of the same specifications. If the problems still occurs, go to next step. The main board may be damaged. Replace main board. 3. If the external monitor has the same problem as the internal monitor, the main board may be damaged. Please insert the diagnostic disk and run the display test program and go through the sub-steps under step 2.
PhoenixBIOS POST Tasks and Beep Codes When you turn on the PC, the BIOS first performs a number of tasks, called the Power-On-Self-Test (POST). These tasks test and initialize the hardware and then boot the Operating System from the hard disk. At the beginning of each POST task, the BIOS outputs the test-point error code I/O port 80h. Programmers and technicians use this code during troubleshooting to establish at what point the system failed and what routine was being performed.
Terminal POST Errors There are several POST routines that require success to finish POST. If they fail, they issue a POST Terminal Error and shut down the system. Before shutting down the system, the error handler issues a beep code signifying the test point error, writes the error to port 80h, attempts to initialize the video, and writes the error in the upper left corner of the screen (using both mono and color adapters). The routine derives the beep code from the test point error as follows: 1.
POST Task Routines The following is a list of the Test Point codes written to port 80h at the start of each routine, the beep codes issued for terminal errors, and a description of the POST routine. Unless otherwise noted, these codes are valid for PhoenixBIOS. NOTE: The following routines are sorted by their test point numbers assigned in the BIOS code. Their actual oder as executed during POST can be quite different.
