Troubleshooting

Introduction

This chapter provides a systematic method of isolating problems
with the DIGITAL HiNote Ultra 2000 series of notebook
computers. It is assumed that you have a basic understanding of
DOS-based computer systems as well as a knowledge of
standard troubleshooting procedures. This manual is written
under the assumption that the problems are indeed related to the
notebook computer itself. The improper usage of the system and
application software problems are excluded in this chapter.
The system BIOS power on self-tests (POST) are integral to the
system and detect certain errors with the system board. They
use a series of beep codes to identify certain system board
problems.
The troubleshooting procedures when followed step by step, can
help isolate system problems.
