Chapter 2. Power On Self Tests (POST)/Problem Isolation

Chapter 2.1 Introduction

This section provides a list of assemblies checked by the Power On Self Test (POST) and a brief description of the types of error codes. The section also contains preliminary steps to problem isolation of an error condition and a problem isolation flowchart for quick reference.

Chapter 2.2 Power On Self Test (POST)

A series of diagnostic tests automatically run on every COMPAQ Personal Computer system when the system is turned on. These tests are called the Power On Self Test (POST).

POST checks the following assemblies to ensure that the computer system is functioning properly:

o

Keyboard

o

Power Supply

o

System Board

o

Video Display Controller Board

o

Fixed Disk Drive Controller Board

o

Diskette/Printer Controller Board

o

Asynchronous Communications/Clock Board

o

System Board

o

Memory

POST also detects the type(s) of mass storage device(s) installed in the computer.

When the computer is turned on, POST automatically starts and runs. If POST finds an error in the system, error codes (in the form of beeps) are heard or error codes (numbers) are visible on the monitor. See Chapter 5, "Error Messages and Codes," for an explanation of error codes.

Chapter 2.3 Preliminary Steps to Problem Isolation

If you encounter an error condition, complete the following preliminary steps before starting problem isolation.

1.Place the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.

2.Disconnect the signal cables of any peripheral devices (printers, modems, and so on) from the computer.

3.Remove the upper access panel and board slots access cover (see Chapter 7, "Removal and Replacement Procedures.")

When the upper access panel is removed, the system LED, located on the

system board between the expansion slots, is visible.

4.Remove all non COMPAQ options (board, drives, and so on) from the computer.

5.Install a loopback plug connector in the parallel port and the asynchronous port and any other location that requires a loopback plug.

NOTE: If you want to test your printer during the printer test or to log errors to a printer, reconnect the printer now.

6.Verify that the AC power cable is connected to a usable power outlet.

7.Insert the latest version of the COMPAQ DIAGNOSTICS Program diskette into drive A and close the drive door.

8.Place the ON/OFF switch in the ON position. See Chapter 4, "DIAGNOSTIC Procedures," for detailed information on problem isolation.

Chapter 2.4 Problem Isolation Flowchart

The problem isolation flowchart provides a quick reference for identifying and correcting possible problems that may occur during POST. The flowchart gives troubleshooting procedures for identifying malfunctions and replacing major assemblies in the computer and directs you to Chapter 4, "Diagnostic Procedures," and to Chapter 5, "Error Messages and Codes," for more detailed troubleshooting information.

Please consult the SUPPORT SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE for current information on SETUP.

Chapter 4. Diagnostic Procedures

Please consult the SUPPORT SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE for current information on DIAGNOSTICS.

Chapter 5. Error Messages and Codes

Chapter 5.1 Introduction

This section provides Power On Self Test error messages, DIAGNOSTIC error codes, and memory error codes.

The messages and codes are given in tables that list the message or error code, a description of the error, and the probable failure or required action to resolve the error condition.

Chapter 5.2 Power On Self Test Error Messages

This section is divided into two tables. The first table contains Power On Self Test error messages for the COMPAQ PORTABLE 286 Personal Computer. The second table contains Power On Self Test error messages for the COMPAQ Portable and COMPAQ PLUS Personal Computers.

An error message results if a problem is encountered during the Power On Self Test program. This program runs automatically when the system is turned on.

The tables list the messages, the audible (beep) message, and the probable failure.

Chapter 5.3 Diagnostic Error Codes

DIAGNOSTIC error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while running the COMPAQ DIAGNOSTICS Program. These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.

Table 5.3 lists all possible error codes, a description of the error condition, and the action required to resolve the error condition.

In each case, the required action lists prioritized steps necessary to correct the problem. After each step is completed, run DIAGNOSTICS to verify whether the error condition has been corrected. If the error code reappears, perform the next step, then run the DIAGNOSTICS Program. Follow this procedure until the DIAGNOSTICS Program no longer detects an error condition.

For assistance in the removal and replacement of a particular subassembly, see Chapter 7, "Removal and Replacement Procedures."
