Aptiva - 2162 Diagnostics - Media console drive devices

Applicable to: World-Wide

Problems with the 3.5-in. diskette Drive, the CD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse, the On/Off switch, or the hard disk drive LED may be caused by the Media Console.

Multiple error codes can also be the result of a loose Media Console cable or defective host or client cards. If the system unit powers up with some or all of the following POST error codes, the Media Console may be at fault.

1780 Hard disk error
5803 Keyboard error
5806 Diskette drive error
5886 Pointing device error

If you receive multiple POST codes:
1. Check the installation of the Media Console cable on the host card.
2. Check the installation of the cable from pin J30 on the system board. See "System Board Layout" for more information.
3. Check the installation of the power connector from the power supply to the host card.
4. Check the installation of the audio cable from the Crystal audio card to the host card.

If the problems persist see "Diagnostic Aids" on page 3-1 of the HMM for more information.

Use this check procedure to test any factory-installed drives.
