1.1 Outline
This chapter describes the fault diagnosis procedures for field replaceable units (FRUs) in the computer.
The FRUs covered here are as follows:
1. System board 2. 2.5-inch HDD 3. Keyboard
4. Display 5. DVD-ROM drive 6. CD_ROM drive
7. Cooling module 8. Touch Pad 10. Audio
11. IR 12. Battery life (Battery Learning)
See Tear Down guide for the procedures to replace FRUs and Diagnostic manual for the procedures to use
test programs
The following tools are required to perform the diagnostic procedures:
1. Diagnostics (maintenance test program) bootable CD
2. Screwdrivers
3. Cleaning disk kit (for ODD drive cleaning)
4. Port 80 card
5. Multi-meter
6. Headphone
7. Microphone
8. External FDD attachment
1.2 Basic Flowchart
The basic flowchart in Figure 2-1 serves as a guide for identifying a possibly faulty FRU.

Before going through the diagnostic flowchart steps, verify the following:
Ask the user if a password has been registered and, if so, ask him or her to enter the password. If
the user has forgotten the system password, use a jump wire to make a short circuit on pad 10 that’s near mini PCI slot, then turn the power on. When booted, the computer overrides password protection and automatically erases the current password. Please remove the short circuit on pad 10 when the password erased.
Make sure the BenQ version of Windows® 2000, or XP has been installed on the HDD. Any
other operating system can cause the computer to malfunction.
Make sure any piece of optional equipment has been installed.

If the diagnostic program cannot detect an error, the error may be intermittent. Run the continuous test program repeatedly to isolate the problem. Check the log utilities function to confirm which diagnostic test detected the error, then perform the appropriate troubleshooting procedures as follows:
1. If an error is detected by the System test, Memory test or Real Timer test, follow the system board troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.4.
2. If an error is detected by the Hard Disk test, follow the HDD troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.5.
3. If an error is detected by the Keyboard test, follow the keyboard troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.6.
4. If an error is detected by the Display test, follow the display troubleshooting procedures in Section
1.7.
5. If an error is detected by the DVD-ROM test, follow the DVD-ROM troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.8.
6. If an error is detected by the CD-ROM test, follow the CD-ROM troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.9.
7. If an error is detected by the Fan On/Off test, follow the cooling module troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.10
8. If an error is detected by the Touch Pad test, follow the Touch Pad troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.11
9. If an error is detected by the audio function test, follow the Audio function troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.12
10. If an error is detected by the IR test, follow the IR troubleshooting procedures in Section 1.13
11. If an error is detected by the Extending Battery life (Battery Learning), follow the Extending Battery life procedures in Section 1.14

2. Attach the battery and AC adapter back and turn on the power again. If the LED still off, follow the steps below:
Check 1 Make sure the Power LED goes on in blue. If it does not, go to Procedure 2.
Check 2 Make sure the Battery LED goes on in blue without AC adapter. If it does not, go to
Procedure 4.
Check 3 Make sure the Battery LED goes on in orange when battery gauge is not full. If it does not,
go to Procedure 4.
Check 4 Make sure the Battery LED blinks in orange, go to Procedure 3.
