IBM PC330/PC350 - No error message if keyboard test fails in QAPlus/2
Applicable to: World-Wide
Problem :
When running the Keyboard Test in QAPlus/2 on IBM PC 300 Series 6577 or 6587, the user is prompted to press keys to verify that the keyboard in functioning properly via a graphical interface on the display.
If the user presses a key and no response is indicated on the display, the QAPlus/2 Keyboard Test does not give the user an opportunity to indicate that the test failed. The test will continue to function until the user exits the routine.
Solution :
If the user suspects a keyboard hardware problem exists, the IBM Personal Computer Diagnostic diskette (QAPlus/PRO) should be used to diagnose the failure. QAPlus/PRO does ask the user at the end of the Keyboard Test whether the responses were correct.
The IBM PC 300/700 Diagnostic diskette (QAPlus/PRO) is obtained by using the Diskette Factory included in the systems preloaded software.
