Bootable diagnostic programs

If the computer you are servicing is not installed with the UEFI diagnostic program, you can download a
bootable diagnostic program from the Lenovo Support Web site. The bootable diagnostic program enables
you to view system information and test some hardware devices in your computer, such as memory, storage
devices, the LCD, and system board buses. To use the bootable diagnostic program, you can create a
bootable diagnostic medium using a USB device or disc.
To create a bootable diagnostic medium, do the following:
1. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/diags.
2. Click Lenovo Bootable Diagnostics.

To use the diagnostic medium you have created, do the following:
• If you have created the bootable diagnostic medium using a USB device, do the following:
1. Attach the USB device to the computer.
2. Turn on the computer. If the computer cannot be turned on, go to "Power system checkout" on page

page 37 for error code descriptions and troubleshooting hints.

Menu window opens, release the F12 key.
