Diagnostics
Your TravelMate 3000 Notebook Computer provides two diagnostic routines to make sure
the computer and its peripherals are functioning as they should. One routine is automatic
and takes place every time you turn on the computer. The other is accessed from a
separate diagnostic program installed on the hard disk during manufacture.
Power-On Diagnostics
When you turn on the computer, an automatic self-test begins. The self-test checks
internal memory and displays the number of kilobytes available for use.
After a few seconds, MS-DOS starts to load. If MS-DOS fails to load from the hard disk
or a floppy, an error message appears.
Turn off the computer, wait 5 seconds, then turn the computer on again. If the error
message displays repeatedly, call your Texas Instruments dealer or call TI Service at 1-
800-847-5757.
Refer to "Error Messages" in Appendix E for a list of power up error messages.
Diagnostics Program
To load the Diagnostics Program, insert your BatteryPro & Productivity Software floppy
diskette into drive A and press the Ctrl-Alt-Del keys or turn on the computer. The
diagnostics automatically loads from the floppy.
After the Diagnostics Program loads, it displays its main menu. Press the
↑
and
↓
keys to
highlight the test you want performed and then press the Enter key to start the test.
