5. TROUBLESHOOTING
The Diagnostic Card is used to evaluate the cause(s) of any abnormal
operations of the system without disassembling the system or to test the
system after the replacement of the FRU.


2) Debugging Codes
In general, if a fault of a circuit or part is detected during the system test, the
system stops with a code. The debugging codes for system board faults are
listed below.

3) Location of Fault and Check Points by Symptom

LCD Related Symptoms


1. The LCD screen is dimmer or the screen color is distorted.
Check the connection status of the LCD cable connector of the main board and the
connection between the LCD cable and LCD inverter.
Replace the LCD cable or LCD inverter.


2. No picture is displayed on the screen.
Check the connection status of the LCD cable connector of the main board and the
connection between the LCD cable and LCD inverter.
Replace the LCD cable or LCD inverter.
Check if the memory module is out of order.


3. Cannot adjust the LCD screen brightness.
Check if the LCD inverter is out of order.
Check the BIOS version information or check if the adapter is appropriate.


4. The LCD blinks during use.
Replace the LCD cable and the LCD inverter and check if they are out of order.
Check if the adapter is the appropriate one.


Main System Related Symptom
5. Cannot turn the system on.
If the AC adapter is not connected, check the battery charge status. Even if the
battery is charged, if the remaining battery charge is too low, you may not be able to
boot up the system.
Check if the On Top Board or part of the On Top Board is out of order.
Check if the DC/DC Board is out of order.
Replace the Main Board.


6. The system is turned on, but booting fails or the power turns off immediately.
Since this may happen due to a short circuit within the system, immediately

5. TROUBLESHOOTING
disconnect the power from the wall outlet and check if there are any alien objects such
as a loose screw within the product.
Check the connectivity of the connection FPC and cables.
Replace the DC/DC Board and check if the board is out of order.
Replace the memory module and check if the module is out of order.
Replace the Main Board.


7. Cannot insert a PCMCIA card or the remove button does not work properly.
This may happen when the insulator within the PCMCIA slot is pushed inward.
Replace the PCMCIA slot frame and check if it is out of order.


8. Cannot hear the sound.
Check if the volume is set to Mute in the Operating System.
Check the connectivity of the speaker cable and check if the speaker is out of order.
Check if the Audio Board is out of order.
Replace the Main Board.


9. The HDD is not recognized.
Check the connectivity of the HDD FPC cable and check if the FPC cable is out of
order by replacing it with a new one.
If the HDD is recognized by the CMOS but the `Operating System Not Found'
message appears while booting, format the HDD and reinstall the operating system as
this may happen when the operating system is corrupted or the HDD is out of order. If
this does not work, replace the HDD.


10. The touchpad does not work or is working abnormally.
Check the connectivity of the touchpad connection cable.
Replace the touchpad module of the Top Assy and check if it is out of order.


11. The battery is not charged or the battery charge LED malfunctions.
Check the standard power voltage of the adapter.
Replace the DC/DC board and check if the board is out of order.
Check if the battery is out of order.
