Diagnostic Tools

This section describes the following diagnostic tools you can use for troubleshooting and repairing the notebook:

•Notebook e-Diagtools diagnostic program (below).

•Power-on self-test (page 3-19).

•Sycard PCCtest 450 PC card (page 3-25).

•Windows Management Instrumentation (page 3-26).

•BIOS Setup utility (page 3-27).

e-Diagtools Diagnostic Program

The hardware diagnostic programs provide two levels of testing:

•User-level testing using a basic hardware test.

•Advanced testing using individual hardware tests.

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

Updating e-Diagtools

You can download the latest version of e-Diagtools using e-Diagtools for Windows.
