Aptiva - 2144-S15 Diagnostics - Index of symptoms, messages, error codes, and beeps

Applicable to: Canada, United States

The table below lists failure symptoms and possible causes. The most likely cause is listed first. When servicing a system, always begin with "Start" . This index can also be used to help you decide which FRUs to have available when servicing a system.

If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to "Undetermined Problem" .

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

2. If you cannot run the Advanced Diagnostics 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" and "System Board Layout" Machine Type 2144 (Type G-1), .)

In the table below, an X in an error code may be any number. If you are unable to correct the problem using this index, go to "Undetermined Problem" .

Symptoms, Messages, Error Codes, or Beeps

Action/FRU

Note: To diagnose a problem, first find the symptom, message, error code, or beeps in column 1. 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 column 2 is the most likely cause.
