Aptiva - 2162 Diagnostics - Index of symptoms, messages, error codes, or beeps

Applicable to: World-Wide

The table below 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. 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 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" and "System Board Layout" )

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

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.

the adapter plug.

2. Verify that the software application used with the joystick has joystick support.

3. Ensure the joystick is enabled in the software application. This might require entering keystrokes or a configuration utility in the software application.

If the above steps find no problem, see the
"Joystick does not work correctly" symptom
below.
