Unsuccessful Test Results
If the system verification test fails, the computer does one of the
following:
Stops updating the memory counter and does not proceed to
display information or messages.
Beeps once but displays no new messages.
Displays random characters and does not function normally.
Displays an error message.
Verify the system again. Before you do so, turn the computer off
and make sure all optional devices are connected properly. If the
test fails a second time, you have demonstrated that you can repro-
duce the problem and it's time to contact a trained technician.
Other Circumstances
The computer normally beeps at the conclusion of a successful
system verification. If the system speaker is set to Disabled in
MaxTime or TSETUP, this beep will not occur.
If the speaker is turned on (enabled) and the system verification
completes but you don't hear a beep, the speaker may be faulty.
Though this does not affect the computer's operation, you may
wish to contact your dealer and have it repaired.
If the system verification is successful but the operating system
won't load, refer to "Problems Turning the Computer On" on
page 272. If all seems correct, treat this as a hardware error and
contact your dealer.
