Standard Test Features

The TravelMate 5000 Series Notebook Computers use modular design and
built-in test features to reduce the mean-time-to-repair. A power on self-test
automatically verifies the operational state of the primary circuits and a
powerful suite of diagnostic tests (known as PC-Doctor) are available to
further test selected parts of the system.

1.5.1

Built-In Self Test

The notebook computer contains a built-in self test that automatically
performs a test of memory and all major circuits each time the computer is
powered up. In the event of a failure, the computer displays a descriptive
error message and issues a series of coded beeps (in case the display
subsystem is not functioning). The coded beeps are listed and described in
Section 4 of this manual.

If self test completes normally, the computer displays the amount of
memory tested and loads the Operating System and Windows environment.
