Overview

The HP Vision Diagnostics utility allows you to view information about the hardware configuration of
the computer and perform hardware diagnostic tests on the subsystems of the computer. The utility
simplifies the process of effectively identifying, diagnosing, and isolating hardware issues.
The Survey tab is displayed when you invoke HP Vision Diagnostics. This tab shows the current
configuration of the computer. From the Survey tab, there is access to several categories of information
about the computer. Other tabs provide additional information, including diagnostic test options and
test results. The information in each screen of the utility can be saved as an html file and stored on a
diskette or USB flash drive.
Use HP Vision Diagnostics to determine if all the devices installed on the computer are recognized by
the system and functioning properly. Running tests is optional but recommended after installing or
connecting a new device.
You should run tests, save the test results, and print them so that you have printed reports available
before placing a call to the Customer Support Center.
NOTE:
Third-party devices may not be detected by HP Vision Diagnostics.
