2.Verify the symptoms. Try to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating the operation.

Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS

The ThinkPad Notebook has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter called PC-Doctor.) You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in PC-Doctor.

Note:

PC-Doctor for DOS is available at the following Web site: http://

www.lenovo.com/support

To create the PC-Doctor diagnostic CD, follow the instructions on the Web site.

For some possible configurations of the computer, PC-Doctor might not run correctly. To avoid this problem, you need to initialize the computer setup by use of the BIOS Setup Utility before you run PC-Doctor.

To enter BIOS Setup Utility, do as follows:

1.Turn on the computer.

2.When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.

Note: If a supervisor password has been set by the customer, BIOS Setup Utility menu appears after the password is entered. You can start the utility by pressing Enter instead of entering the supervisor password; however, you cannot change the parameters that are protected by the supervisor password.

On the BIOS Setup Utility screen, press F9, Enter, F10, and then Enter.

Note: When you initialize the computer configuration, some devices are disabled, such as the serial port. If you test one of these devices, you will need to enable it by using Configuration utility for DOS. The utility is available on the following Web site: http://www.lenovo.com/support

PC-Doctor cannot be used to test a device that is in the docking station, even if the computer supports the docking station. To test a USB device, connect it to the USB connector of the computer.
