OmniBook DiagTools

The DiagTools hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing:

User-level testing using a basic hardware test.

Advanced testing using individual hardware tests.

Figure 3-2. OmniBook Diagnostic Screens — Basic and Advanced

The tests are designed to run after the system reboots, so that the computer will be in a predictable state during the tests. The tests are non-destructive, and are intended to preserve the state of the computer. The OmniBook reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded.

Updating DiagTools

You can download the latest version of DiagTools from the HP Notebook Web site (see page vi), then follow the included instructions.
