IBM PC300PL - Power-on video/system failure
Applicable to: World-Wide
SYMPTOM:
After assembly and setup of a new system, the system exhibits no video, or a no-power condition when the Off/On button is pressed.
The same symptoms may also be seen in systems that have been moved, or changed from a horizontal operating position to a vertical operating position.
PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:
This tip applies to IBM PC PC300PL, machine type 6562 systems only.
FIX:
Remove and reseat the system planar as described on pages 32-36 of the "Installing Options In Your Personal Computer" guide.
****************************************************************
* WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS PROCEDURE UNTIL THE POWER CORD *
* HAS BEEN UNPLUGGED FROM THE SYSTEM UNIT! *
* *
* Failure to unplug the power cord from the system unit *
* BEFORE reseating the planar may result in permanent *
* damage to the planar. *
****************************************************************
It is not necessary to completely remove the planar from the system unit. Withdraw the planar until it has just become disconnected from the riser card. Then, reseat the planar as described in step 5, page 34 of the guide.
If the failure persists, continue normal problem determination procedures to isolate the failing part or application.
