If the error is serious, the computer cancels further checking and halts system initialization. The error message remains on the screen and the computer locks up. If this happens, contact your Authorized Epson Servicer as soon as possible. Report any error messages when you request technical assistance.

The following table lists all the error messages that may appear during power-on diagnostics. If you receive an error message, look it up in the table below; it directs you to the proper troubleshooting section in this chapter or offers a solution.
