Troubleshooting Procedures 5-5
5.3.3 Fault Isolation Using Self Test
When the computer is first powered up, it automatically performs a self test of its central
hardware and memory functions. During self test (which lasts for a few seconds), the
display shows copyright and version number information.
Note: Some procedures in this paragraph require you to use keystroke
sequences, such as Ctrl-Alt-Del. To execute a keystroke sequence such as this,
you must press all three keys simultaneously.
5.3.3.1 Self Test Error Messages
Upon successful completion of the self test, the computer automatically loads its
operating system and other built-in utilities. If the self test fails to complete successfully,
the display shows one of the error messages described in Table 5-2.
Note: In the event of a hardware problem that affects the display, the Notebook
also communicates errors via a series of beeps. The interpretation of the beep
codes is provided in Table 5-3.
