3 Tests and Diagnostics

3.15 Wireless LAN Test (Atheros)

This section describes how to perform the wireless LAN transmitting-receiving test with the
test program. (Atheros 11b/g)

NOTE: Use another computer (with Atheros 11b/g) that can communicate by the
wireless LAN as a responder machine to perform this test.

When conducting this test, make sure that any wireless network device using 2.4GHz band
other than IEEE 802.11b, such as Bluetooth, is not used nearby.

In this test, the following items are tested:

* Test PC side

(1) SKU (destination code) check
(2) Mac Address check
(3) Communication test (11a mode) (only for 11a/b/g card)
(4) Communication test (11g mode)
(5) Communication test (11b mode)

This program conducts the above test items continuously and displays results for each item
during the test. However, only the last result for the whole test shall be checked. (The
message "OK" or "NG" is displayed.)

When an "NG" item is detected during the test, the message "NG" is displayed on the screen
and the test stops.

To start the Wireless LAN test program, follow the steps below:

NOTE: Before starting the wireless LAN test, make sure the Wireless
Communication Switch on the left side of the computer is turned on. (The Wireless
Communication LED lights orange.)

DIAGNOSTICS MENU, select 9 - EXIT TO MS-DOS.

NOTE: To execute the Tablet Dock CD Test, attach the computer to the Tablet Multi
Dock before turning on the computer.

Press the number you want to test and press Enter.

NOTE: To record the sound from the specified microphone in Subtest 01, scratch each hole

of the microphones lightly with a sharp-pointed thing to make sure the specified
microphone catches the sound. The system is capable of producing high volume
sound, so when you use the headphones be careful to set the volume low and adjust it
as necessary. Using the headphones at full volume could damage your ears.

There are one microphone on the upper side of the LCD and two microphones on the lower
side. Microphone numbers are assigned as following.

Right upper side of the LCD -Mic 2
Left lower side of the LCD -Mic 3
Right lower side of the LCD -Mic 4

After a while, the recorded sound is replayed automatically.

Subtest 02 Microphoned recording & play Mic 3&4

This subtest is executed in the same way as Microphoned recording & play
Mic 2&4.

Subtest 03 Sin wave

This subtest is executed by loading the COM file (ADSIN.COM.) The
program expands sin wave data table from 16KB to 64KB, and creates the
play data. Then it transfers the data between the DMA and the CODEC to
play the sin wave. (It sounds like a continuous beep.) By using wave
measuring devices such as an oscilloscope, the data can be measured as a sin
wave.

When the subtest is executed, the following message appears.

Press any key to continue....

When you press any key, the sin wave is expanded from 16KB to 64KB data
and is played.

The sound is heard and the test returns to the menu.

Subtest 04 LAN

This subtest checks the operation of mini-PCI I/F by the loopback in the chip.

The large “OK” is displayed if no error occurred.

Subtest 05 MODEM

For this subtest, connect the modem PCB and RJ11 connector with a harness.
This subtest contains the following tests. They are tested with the dedicated
“FAT-MODE inspection device(Product Code QE2000P01 made by Nittou

before selecting this subtest, set the test media in the drive of the Tablet Dock.

This subtest compares the data of the test program and the data in the test
media to check whether the data from the drive can be read correctly.

3.18 Thermal Radiation Control Test

This thermal radiation control test checks the temperature of the CPU and GPU. To execute
this test, use the diagnostics disk (Thermal radiation control) and follow the procedures
below.

1. Turn on the computer and start the Windows.

2. Insert the diagnostic disk for the thermal radiation control test to the USB FDD.

3. Open the [EXPLORE] window and double-click the [THERMAL.bat] file in the

diagnostic disk.

4. The input field appears on the screen. Then, input the temperature around the

computer and click [OK] button. The thermal radiation control test starts.

5. The display counting from 900 to 0 seconds (for 15 minutes) appears on the screen.

When the test ends normally, the following message appears in the display.

[Status:pass]

When an error is found, the following message appears in the display.

[Status:CPU:FAIL GPU:FAIL]

When the error message appears in the display, there is a possibility of breakage of
CPU, GPU or FAN.

NOTE: The display on the screen changes while executing this test. This is not an
error. Do not touch any key and keep executing the test, for this change applies
some load to CPU and GPU for the test.

Close the test menu to end the thermal radiation control test.
