5.3ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS ERROR CODES

ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while running the COMPAQ ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS Pro- gram. These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.

Table 5-2 lists possible error codes, a description of the error condition, and the action required to resolve the error condition.

In each case, the Recommended Action column lists steps necessary to correct the problem. After completing each step, run the ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS Program to verify whether the error condition has been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS Program. Follow this procedure until the ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS Program no longer detects an error condition.

The error codes are in the form of AYY-XX or AAYY-XX. A or AA is the number that represents the faulty subassembly. YY denotes the test or action that failed. XX denotes a specific prob- lem. For example, error code 610-01 shows that the diskette drive change line test exceeded the maximum soft error limit.

For assistance in the removal and replacement of a particular subassembly, see Chapter 7,
