Document ID: PMYS-3KWRR2

Aptiva - 2140/2142 Diagnostics - Index for symptoms, messages, error codes or beeps

Applicable to: China, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, Canada, United States, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom

Table 2-1 found in this document lists failure symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. Make sure you complete all items in the cause or Action/FRU column. This index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a system.

Notes:

1. If an error message and incorrect audio response occur, diagnose the error message first.

2. If you cannot run the Diagnostics and Utilities tests but did receive a POST error code, diagnose the POST error message.

3. If you did not receive any error message, look for a description of your error symptoms in the first part of this index.

4. Check all power supply voltages, switch, and jumper settings before you replace the system board. Also check the power supply voltages if you have a system no-power condition. (See "Power Supply" , System Board Layout Type A-1 , and System Board Layout Type A-2 )

5. Certain models come with a DVD-ROM drive instead of a CD-ROM drive. Diagnose the DVD-ROM drive models the same as the CD-ROM drive models.

6. Type 2142 comes with the Media Console which controls the keyboard, mouse, diskette drive and CD/DVD-ROM drive. Diagnose the Media Console first, before replacing the system board for problems with the keyboard, mouse, diskette, or CD/DVD-ROM drive. Depending on service procedures, replace either the Media Console FRU items or the Media Console. In Table 2-1, an X in an error code can be any number.


Symptoms, Messages, Error
Codes, or Beeps

Action/FRU

Note: To diagnose a problem, first find the symptom, message, error code, or beeps in left column. If directed to a check procedure, replace the FRU indicated in the check procedure. If no check procedure is indicated, the first Action/FRU listed in right column is the most likely cause.

sure the interrupt resources (IRQ)
setting for ISA legacy adapter cards
are correct. If the interrupt resources
settings are not correct, change the
settings. See "Using the Setup Utility"
on page 1-16 of the HMM.

2. If all interrupts are being used by ISA
legacy adapter cards, you might need
to remove an ISA card to make memory available to the PCI adapter card.

1801 - PCI Error (ROM not available).

A PCI adapter card has requested memory
resources that are not available.

1. Choose ISA Legacy Resources from
the Setup Utility main menu, and make
sure the memory resources settings for
ISA legacy adapter cards are correct.
If the memory resources settings are
not correct, change the settings.

2. If all memory resources are being used
by ISA legacy adapter cards, you might
need to remove an ISA card to make
memory available to the PCI adapter
card.

1802 - PCI Error (I/O address not available).

A PCI adapter card has requested an I/O
address that is not available, or the PCI
adapter card might be defective.

Choose ISA Legacy Resources from the
Setup Utility main menu, and make sure the I/O port resources settings for ISA legacy
adapter cards are correct. If the I/O port
resources settings are not correct, change
the settings.

If the I/O port resources settings are
correct, the PCI adapter card might be
defective.

1803 - PCI Error (memory above 1 MB not available).

A PCI adapter card has requested a
memory address that is not available, or the
PCI adapter card might be defective. Choose ISA Legacy Resources from the
Setup Utility main menu, and make sure the
memory resources settings for ISA legacy
adapter cards are correct. If the memory
resources settings are not correct, change
them.

If the memory resources settings are
correct, the PCI adapter card might be
defective.

1804 - PCI Error (memory below
1 MB not available).

A PCI adapter card has requested a
