oBattery Pack
This chapter lists the subassemblies checked by the Power On Self Test (POST)
and briefly describes the types of error codes that can occur.The chapter
also includes problem isolation procedures and a flowchart for quick
reference.
Chapter 2.1 POST
POST is a series of diagnostic tests that runs automatically on the
COMPAQ SLT 386s/20 and COMPAQ SLT/286 Personal Computers when the computers
are turned on.
POST checks the following subassemblies to ensure that the computer system is
functioning properly:
POST also detects the type of mass storage devices installed in the computer.
If POST finds an error in the computer, an error condition is indicated by an
audible and/or visual message.See Chapter 3, "Error Messages and Codes," for
an explanation of the error codes and a recommended course of action.
Chapter 2.2 PRELIMINARY STEPS
If you encounter an error condition, complete the following steps before
starting the problem isolation procedures:
1.Turn off power to the computer.Do not remove the battery pack.
2.Disconnect any external devices (leave the AC Adapter attached). Do not
disconnect the printer if you want to test the printer or use it to log
error messages.
3.Install all appropriate loopback plugs and terminating plugs for complete
testing.
4.Clear the power on password, if it is preset by the user.
NOTE:The COMPAQ SLT 386s/20 has a power on password feature.You will
know that the power on password is set when a key icon (o--m) appears
Page 10
on the screen when POST completes.If this occurs, you must enter the
password to continue.
If you do not have access to the password, you must disable the power on
password feature by resetting the password switch on the system board (see
section 2.3, "Clearing Power On Password").
5.Position the brightness and contrast controls approximately in the center
of their range.
6.Insert the DIAGNOSTICS diskette into drive A.
7.Turn on the computer.
8.Follow the procedures of the Problem Isolation Flowchart in section 2.4.
Refer to Chapter 3, "Error Messages and Codes," for detailed information on
problem isolation.
Chapter 2.3 CLEARING POWER ON PASSWORD
To clear the power on password feature on the COMPAQ SLT 386s/20, disable the
power on password by resetting the system board switch.To do so, complete
the following steps:
1.Disconnect the AC power.
2.Disassemble the computer to reach the system board (refer to Chapter 5).
3.Locate switch SW1 on the system board (Figure 2-1).
4.Change switch SW1-2 to the ON position (disable).
5.Reassemble the computer (refer to Chapter 5); then reconnect the AC power.
6.Turn on the computer and allow it to complete POST.If the key icon
(o--m) does not appear when POST completes, the power on password has
been cleared.
To reset or enable the power on password switch, follow these steps:
1.Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power.
2.Disassemble the computer to reach the system board (refer to Chapter 5).
3.Reset switch SW1-2 to the OFF position (enable).
4.Reassemble the computer.
5.Reconnect the AC power and turn on the computer.
IMPORTANT:If the power on password switch is not reset to its original
position, it will be impossible to reestablish the password.

Chapter 2.4 PROBLEM ISOLATION FLOWCHART
The problem isolation flowchart provides a quick reference for identifying and
correcting problems that may occur during POST.The flowchart gives
troubleshooting procedures for identifying malfunctions.It also directs you
to the DIAGNOSTICS chapter in the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE SUPPORT
SOFTWARE and to Chapter 3, "Error Messages and Codes," for more detailed
troubleshooting information.

Chapter 3 - Error Messages and Codes
INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains Power On Self Test (POST) messages, DIAGNOSTIC error
codes, and memory error codes.
The messages and codes appear in tables that list the message or error code, a
description of the error or its probable cause, and the action recommended to
resolve the error condition.
Chapter 3.1 POWER ON SELF TEST MESSAGES
An error message results if a problem is encountered during POST, which runs
automatically when the system is turned on.
Table 3-1 lists the messages for POST, the audible (beep) messages, probable
causes, and recommended actions.

Chapter 3.2 DIAGNOSTIC ERROR CODES
DIAGNOSTIC error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while running
the COMPAQ DIAGNOSTICS program (refer to the MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE GUIDE
SUPPORT SOFTWARE for additional information on running the DIAGNOSTICS
software).These error codes help identify possible defective subassemblies.
Tables 3-2 through 3-11 list possible error codes, a description of the error
condition, and the action required to resolve the error condition.
In each case, the Recommended Action column lists steps necessary to correct
the problem.After completing each step, run the DIAGNOSTICS program to
verify whether the error condition has been corrected.If the error code
reappears, perform the next step, then run the DIAGNOSTICS program again.
Follow this procedure until the DIAGNOSTICS program no longer detects an error
condition.
The error codes appear in an AYY-XX or AAYY-XX format.
A or AA = number that represents faulty assembly
YY = test or action that failed
XX = a specific problem
Example:Error code 610 - 21 shows that the diskette drive failed to get
change line status.
For assistance in the removal and replacement of a particular subassembly, see
Chapter 5, "Removal and Replacement Procedures."
Table 3-2.Processor Test Error Codes
==============================================================================
Error
Memory error codes appear when the system detects a memory fault during the
Power On Self Test (201 or 203 error codes) or as a result of a diagnostic
test.The TEST programs attempt to isolate the memory fault to a specific
location, then generate a memory error code.
The memory error code points to a specific memory address.The physical
location of the memory address depends on the number and type of memory boards
installed and the type of memory device used.
Memory error codes are displayed in an eight digit format (XX000Y ZZ).The XX
and Y alphanumeric codes are like key identification points for defective
memory isolation.
