Chapter 4 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. 1. Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible. 2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate the failure by running the diagnostic tests or repeating the same operation. 3.
System Check Procedures External CD/DVD-ROM Drive Check Perform the following procedures to isolate the possible problem a controller, drive, or CD-ROM. NOTE: Make sure that the CD-ROM does not have any label attached to it. The label may damage the drive or cause drive failure. 1. Boot from the diagnostic disc and start the diagnostic programs. 2. See if CD-ROM Test is passed when the program runs the CD-ROM Test. 3. Follow onscreen instructions.
Power System Check Do the following: 1. Remove the battery pack. 2. Connect the power adapter and check the power supply. 3. Disconnect the power adapter and install the battery pack; then check that power supply.
Touchpad Check If the touchpad doesn’t work, do the following procedures in sequence to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU: 1. After rebooting, run Tracking Pad PS2 Mode Driver. For example Syn touch driver. 2. Run utility with the PS/2 mouse function and check if the mouse is working. 3. If the PS/2 mouse does not work, then click if the main board to switch board FPC is connected properly. 4.
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 FRU/Action column, 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.

Intermittent Problems Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons 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 recurring problem exists. When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following: 102 1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the mainboard in loop mode at least 10 times. 2. If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU. 3.
Undetermined Problems The diagnostic problems does not identify which adapter or device failed, which installed devices are incorrect, whether a short circuit is suspected, or whether the system is inoperative. NOTE: Verify that all attached devices are supported by the computer. NOTE: Verify that the power supply being used at the time of the failure is operating correctly. (See “Power System Check” on page 89.) Follow procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU. 1.
