3.1 The Diagnostic Test

This chapter explains how to use the Test & Diagnostic program to test the functions of the (Base on Minnesota 10A T&D version 1.0) hardware modules. The Test & Diagnostic Program is stored on the T&D diskettes. The program consists of a series of tests that run automatically when the Diagnostics Program items are selected and executed. NOTES: To start the diagnostics, follow these steps 1. Check all cables for loose connections. 2. Exit this program when you are at Main Menu. The TEST & DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM contains the following functional tests: CONFIG CHECK TEST SPEAKER AUDIO TEST FAN ON/OFF TEST MAIN BATTERY CHARGE TEST FDD TEST ODD TEST KEYBOARD TEST MOUSE(PAD) TEST LCD PIXELS MODE TEST MAGNETIC SWITCH TEST HDD R/W TEST LAN TEST RTC TEST IEEE1394 CODE TEST Speaker EQ Check&Rewrite Button Test Front Edge Logo check Fingerprint DOS Test Clear FP(Fingerprint) Registered DMI Test RDMI Test You will need the following equipment to perform some of the Diagnostic test programs. The diagnostics diskette (2 pcs) A formatted working diskette for the floppy disk drive test (Floppy Disk Drive Test) A data CD disc (ODD Test) A LAN loopback The following sections explain how to execute the Test & Diagnostic Program and detail the tests within the program.

Executing the Diagnostic Test
DOS is required to run the DIAGNOSTICS PROGRAM. To start the DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM, follow these steps: 1. Insert the diagnostics diskette #1 in the floppy disk drive and turn on the computer. (The diagnostics diskette contains the DOS boot files.) And then follow the instructions to swap with the diagnostics diskette #2 for T&D program installed in RAM driver. NOTE: To execute the CD test, make sure the CD is installed in the ODD drive. The T&D Program can run by single test item when you press corresponsive English letter of test item, or run two or more test items what you like if you choose them by Arrow cursors and Space Bar the wonderful thing is you can setup test loop by Enter button. And it also asks you if you like to copy test log file to diskette as reference at the end of test(s). The test list is as the following: A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T.

7. Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays for long periods.
8. Do not store the module at temperatures below its specifications. Cold can cause the liquid crystals to freeze, lose their elasticity or otherwise suffer damage.
9. Do not disassemble the LCD module. Disassembly can cause malfunctions.

10. If you transport the module, do not use packing material that contains epoxy resin (amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxime). These materials can release gas that can damage the panels polarization.
