First, confirm the failure by performing a “clean” boot, as described below. Note that if the notebook fails to restart with a clean boot, it requires repair.

1.Remove all accessories, including SDRAM modules, port replicator, PC cards, printer, external monitor, pointing device, and keyboard.

2.Provide “clean” AC power—no auto adapter or unusual AC adapter configuration.

3.Press the reset button to return the notebook to a known state.

4.Press the power button to start the notebook.

If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it halts POST after issuing a beep code and/or displaying a message (see the following table). The beep code indicates the POST routine in which the terminal error occurred.
