NOTE
Using the following procedure, you can run a diagnostic check on a specified hardware component,
or run an extended diagnostic check on the hard disk, keyboard and touch pad (You do not need to
perform the extended diagnostic check for the keyboard and touch pad in normal use.). The
extended diagnostic check on the hard disk is more detailed, and so requires a longer period of time
to run.

When running a check on the hard disk, keyboard or touch pad, clicking the icon once will turn on
the extended diagnostic check ("FULL" (C) will be displayed below the icon); click again, and the
icon will be displayed in gray (D).
C Click to start the diagnostic check.
6 When all the hardware has been checked, confirm the diagnostic check results.
If the display is red and the message "Check Result TEST FAILED" is displayed, you can assume that there is a
problem with the computer's hardware. Confirm which hardware component is displayed as red, and contact your
technical support office.
If the display is green and the message "Check Result TEST PASSED" is displayed, the computer's hardware is
operating normally. Continue using the computer as it is. If the computer still does not operate properly, reinstall
the software. ( page 27)
NOTE
If you run a memory diagnostic check after installing a new RAM module (sold separately) and the message "Check
Result TEST FAILED" is displayed:
Remove the additional RAM module and run the diagnostic check again. If the message "Check Result TEST
FAILED" is still displayed, you can assume that there is a problem with the internal RAM module.
7 After the diagnostic check is complete, click
restart the computer.
