If the distance between the Access Point and the system is too far, the test may report failure even if the device is properly working. If the encryption is enabled on the Access Point, the test program cannot properly communicate with the Access Point to test the device, and will report failure.

Due to the nature of wireless connection, the test may report failure with No LinkTest response receivederror message in the log, even if the device is working properly. When the test failed with this error, please repeat the test for a few times. The device may be working properly unless the same error persists.

Audio Checkout

Do as follows:

1.Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the program.

2.Go to Interactive Tests on the main menu and select the Internal Speakers test.

3.If no sound is heard, replace the speakers.

Fan ASM Checkout

To check the fan ASM, do the following:

1.Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the program.

2.Go to Diagnostics on the main menu and select Other Devices.

3.Follow the description in the window. If the test detects a fan ASM problem, replace the fan.

Keyboard and Auxiliary Input Device Checkout

Note: Remove the external keyboard if the internal keyboard is to be tested.

If the internal keyboard does not work or an unexpected character appears, make sure that the flexible cable extending from the keyboard is correctly seated on the connector.

If the keyboard cable connection is correct, run the Keyboard Test. See “Running the Diagnostics” on page 27 for details.

If the test detects a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.
