Troubleshooting
    Use the following procedure as a guide for computer problems.
    NOTE: The diagnostic tests are intended to test only Acer products. Non-Acer products, prototype cards, or
         modified options can give false errors and invalid system responses.
    1.   Obtain the failing symptoms in as much detail as possible.
    2.   Verify the symptoms by attempting to re-create the failure by running the diagnostic test or by repeating
         the same operation.
    3.   Use the following table with the verified symptom to determine which page to go to.

System Check Procedures
Optical Disk Drive Check
     Do the following to isolate the problem to a controller, drive, or optical drive. Make sure that the optical drive
     does not have any label attached to it. The label can cause damage to the drive or can cause the drive to fail.
     Do the following to select the test device:
     1.   Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the diagnostics program.
     2.   See if optical drive test is passed when the program runs to optical drive test.
     3.   Follow the instructions in the message window.
     If an error occurs, reconnect the connector on the System board. If the error still remains:
     1.   Reconnect the optical drive module.
     2.   Replace the optical drive module.
     3.   Replace the main board.


Keyboard or Auxiliary Input Device Check
     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 in the connector on the system board.
     If the keyboard cable connection is correct, run the Keyboard Test.
     If the tests detect a keyboard problem, do the following one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a
     non-defective FRU:
     1.   Reconnect the keyboard cables.
     2.   Replace the keyboard.
     3.   Replace the main board.


     The following auxiliary input devices are supported by this computer:
           q     Numeric keypad
           q     External keyboard
     If any of these devices do not work, reconnect the cable connector and repeat the failing operation.


Memory check
     Memory errors might stop system operations, show error messages on the screen, or hang the system.
     1.   Boot from the diagnostics diskette and start the doagmpstotics program (please refer to main board.
     2.   Go to the diagnostic memory in the test items.
     3.   Press F2 in the test items.
     4. Follow the instructions in the message window.
     NOTE: Make sure that the DIMM is fully installed into the connector. A loose connection can cause an error.


Power System Check
     To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the computer using each of the following power sources:
     1.   Remove the battery pack.
     2.   Connect the power adapter and check that power is supplied.



73                                                                                                           Chapter 4
    3.   Disconnect the power adapter and install the charged battery pack; then check that power is supplied by
         the battery pack.
    If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power supply check in the following list:
            q   "Check the Power Adapter" on page 75
            q   "Check the Battery Pack" on page 76




Chapter 4                                                                                                     74
Check the Power Adapter
     Unplug the power adapter cable from the computer and measure the output voltage at the plug of the power
     adapter cable. See the following figure




                                                     Pin 1: +19 to +20.5V
                                                     Pin 2: 0V, Ground




     1.   If the voltage is not correct, replace the power adapter.
     2.   If the voltage is within the range, do the following:
           q     Replace the System board.
           q     If the problem is not corrected, see "Undetermined Problems" on page 89.
           q   If the voltage is not correct, go to the next step.
     NOTE: An audible noise from the power adapter does not always indicate a defect.
     3.   If the power-on indicator does not light up, check the power cord of the power adapter for correct
          continuity and installation.
     4.   If the operational charge does not work, see "Check the Battery Pack" on page 76.




75                                                                                                        Chapter 4
Check the Battery Pack
    To check the battery pack, do the following:
    From Software:
    1.   Check out the Power Management in control Panel
    2.   In Power Meter, confirm that if the parameters shown in the screen for Current Power Source and Total
         Battery Power Remaining are correct.
    3.   Repeat the steps 1 and 2, for both battery and adapter.
    4.   This helps you identify first the problem is on recharging or discharging.
    From Hardware:
    1.   Power off the computer.
    2.   Remove the battery pack and measure the voltage between battery terminals 1(+) and 6(ground). See the
         following figure




    3.   If the voltage is still less than 7.5 Vdc after recharging, replace the battery.
    To check the battery charge operation, use a discharged battery pack or a battery pack that has less than 50%
    of the total power remaining when installed in the computer.
    If the battery status indicator does not light up, remove the battery pack and let it return to room temperature.
    Re-install the battery pack.
    If the charge indicator still does not light up, replace the battery pack. If the charge indicator still does not light
    up, replace the DC/DC charger board.


Touchpad Check
    If the touchpad doesn't work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a
    non-defective FRU:
    1.   Reconnect the touchpad cables.
    2.   Replace the touchpad.
    3.   Replace the system board.
    After you use the touchpad, the pointer drifts on the screen for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement
    can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the touchpad pointer. This symptom is not a hardware
    problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.




Chapter 4                                                                                                               76
Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Message
     The POST error message index lists the error message and their possible causes. The most likely cause is
     listed first.
     NOTE: Perform the FRU replacement or actions in the sequence shown in FRU/Action column, if the FRU
          replacement does not solve the problem, put the original part back in the computer. Do not replace a
          non-defective FRU.
     This index can also help you determine the next possible FRU to be replaced when servicing a computer.
     If the symptom is not listed, see "Undetermined Problems" on page 89.
     The following lists the error messages that the BIOS displays on the screen and the error symptoms classified
     by function.
     NOTE: Most of the error messages occur during POST. Some of them display information about a hardware
          device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the
          way it has been configured.
     NOTE: If the system fails after you make changes in the BIOS Setup Utility menus, reset the computer, enter
          Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.

Intermittent Problems
    Intermittent system hang problems can be caused by a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with a
    hardware defect, such as: cosmic radiation, electrostatic discharge, or software errors. FRU replacement
    should be considered only when a recurring problem exists.
    When analyzing an intermittent problem, do the following:
    1.   Run the advanced diagnostic test for the system board in loop mode at least 10 times.
    2.   If no error is detected, do not replace any FRU.
    3.   If any error is detected, replace the FRU. Rerun the test to verify that there are no more errors.
