Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Please use the following procedures 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 may occur errors or invalid responses. 1. Obtain the detailed fail symptoms as many as possible. 2. Verify the symptoms by attempting to recreate, running the diagnostic tests or repeating the same operation.
System Check Procedures External Diskette Drive Check Do the following procedures to isolate the possible effects from a controller, driver, or diskette. A writable, diagnostic diskette is required. Note: Make sure that the diskette does not have more than one label attached. Multiple labels may cause damage to the drive or make the drive fail. 1. Boot from the diagnostic diskette and start the diagnostic programs. 2. See if FDD test is passed as the programs run the FDD test. 3.
3. Press F2 in the test items. 4. Follow the instructions in the message window. Note: Make sure that the DIMM is correctly inserted into the connector. A wrong connection will cause errors. Power System Check To verify the symptoms, power on the computer by using the following power sources separately. 1. Remove the battery pack. 2. Connect the power adaptor and check the power supply. 3. Disconnect the power adaptor and install the battery pack, then check the power supply.
3. If the voltage is still less than 7.5V after recharging, replace the battery. If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack. After the battery pack returns to room temperature, reinstall it to the system. If the charge indicator does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the AC/DC charger board. Touchpad Check If the touchpad does not work, follow the procedures one at a time to correct the problem.
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 Error Message List, if the FRU replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a nondefective 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.

Index of Symptom-to-FRU Error Message Symptom/Error Action in Sequence LCD backlight doesn't work. LCD is too dark. LCD brightness cannot be adjusted. LCD contrast cannot be adjusted. Enter BIOS Utility to execute “Load Setup Default Settings”, then reboot system. Reconnect the LCD connectors. Keyboard (if contrast and brightness function key do not work).
Symptom/Error Action in Sequence System cannot detect the PC Card (PCMCIA). PCMCIA slot assembly System board PCMCIA slot pin is damaged. PCMCIA slot assembly Symptom / Error Memory count (size) appears different from actual size. Action in Sequence Enter BIOS Setup Utility to execute “Load Default Settings, then reboot system. DIMM System board Symptom/Error Action in Sequence In Windows, multimedia programs, no sound comes from the computer.
Symptom/Error Action in Sequence System configuration does not match the installed devices. Enter BIOS Setup Utility to execute “Load Default Settings”, then reboot system. Reconnect hard disk/CD-ROM/diskette drives. External display does not work correctly. Press Fn + F5, LCD/CRT/Both display switching System board USB does not work correctly. System board Print problems Ensure the “Parallel Port” in the “Onboard Devices Configuration” of BIOS Setup Utility is set to Enabled.
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 problems, follow the procedures below: 1. Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board 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 devices fail, which devices are incorrectly installed, whether a short circuit happens, or whether the system is inoperative. Note: Verify if all devices attached are supported by the computer. Note: Verify if the power supply used at the time of failure is operating correctly. You can refer to “Power System Check”. Follow the procedures below to isolate the failing FRU. Do not isolate non-defective FRU. 1. Power off the computer. 2.
