Start-Up Problems

A built-in checking program will automatically test its components when you turn the notebook power on. This diagnostic test is called the Power-On Self-Test (POST). If the notebook finds a problem during the POST, the notebook displays an error message or emits a series of beep codes when there are the following conditions:

•the current configuration information doesn't match configuration information stored in Auto Setup, such as when an internal option is added.

•the notebook loses configuration information.
