CAUTION

Only trained technicians should attempt to repair this equipment. All

troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to allow

subassembly/module level repair only.

Because of the complexity of the individual boards and subassemblies, no one

should attempt to make repairs at the component level or make modifications

to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs may create a safety hazard.

Indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications

may void any warranty or exchange allowances.

operation of the computer, plug the AC power cord only into a properly

grounded AC outlet.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Compaq Computer Corporation requires all peripheral devices be connected to

this computer via shielded cables with metal RFI/EMI connector hoods.

WIRE TYPE: Multipaired, overall shielded; Belden #98XX; Alpha #54XX; or

equivalent.

CONNECTOR HOOD: RFI/EMI metal shield; AMP #7451 7X-X; or equivalent.

It is important that the chassis ground of any peripheral device be connected

to the computer chassis. An Alpha #1221 flat braid strap is sufficient.

This strap is not necessary if the shielded cable connects the two chassis.

Chapter 2. Power On Self Test/Problem Isolation

2.1 Power On Self Test

The Power On Self Test (POST) is a series of diagnostic tests performed

automatically when the system is turned on. These tests verify that the

computer system is operating properly. If a subassembly fails POST, an error

code appears on the screen.

To start POST, follow these steps.

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Disconnect the signal cables of any peripheral devices (printers, modems,

and so on) from the computer.

3. Remove the outer access casing to expose the system LED located on the

system board (see Chapter 7 for this procedure).

4. Install a loopback plug connector at each location from which a

peripheral signal cable was removed.

NOTE: To test your printer during the printer test or to log errors to a

printer, reconnect the printer now.

5. Verify that the AC power cable is connected to a usable, grounded, three

pronged AC power outlet.

6. Insert the DIAGNOSTICS diskette into drive A.

7. Turn on the computer. The system automatically runs POST. See

Section 2.2, "System Problem Isolation," for information on handling

system problems.

Chapter 2.2 System Problem Isolation

This section contains problem isolation procedures for identifying and

correcting system related problems.

To isolate system problems, perform the following steps:

1. Verify that the AC power switch is on.

2. Listen for the sound of the fan. Did you hear the fan?

YES: Proceed to step 3.

NO: Turn off the computer and check the condition of the AC power fuse.

Is the fuse good?

YES: Return the AC power fuse to its fuse holder and turn on the system.

Proceed to step 3.

NO: Replace the AC power fuse (refer to Chapter 7 in this guide

for AC power fuse removal and replacement information). Repeat

steps 1 and 2.

3. Did you hear an audible beep or see an error code on the screen?

YES: See Chapter 5, "Error Messages and Codes" for information on how to

identify and correct either audible or error code related problems.

NO: Proceed to step 4.

4. Check the system LED on the system board. Is it lit?

YES: Proceed to step 5. If you did not hear the fan, replace it now.

NO: Replace the power supply subassembly chassis and repeat the problem

isolation procedures.

If the problem continues, replace the system board and repeat the problem

isolation procedures.

If the problem has not been corrected, test each controller or option board

by turning off the system, removing a board and turning the power back on.

If the LED is still not on, test each video and storage device by turning off

the system, disconnecting the device power cable and then turning on the

system.

When the system LED lights, power off the system and replace the defective

subassembly.

NOTE: For removal and replacement procedures, refer to Chapter 7.

5. Check the screen for a blinking cursor. Do you see a cursor on the

screen?

YES: Proceed to step 6.

NO: Listen for an audible tone (beep) from the system speaker.

If you hear one or two short beeps, POST is complete. The system now boots

the DIAGNOSTICS program. If the screen remains blank, adjust the brightness

knob.

If the display screen remains blank after adjusting the brightness knob, the

video display unit subsystem is not functioning properly.

o If a color graphics or composite video monitor is available, connect

either device to the correct video outputs on the video display controller

board. Using the CTRL + ALT + < command, change the display mode to the

graphics mode.

If the first screen of the DIAGNOSTICS program appears on the external

monitor, replace the internal video display unit.

If the screen on the external monitor is blank, replace the video display

controller board.

o If a color graphics or composite video monitor is not available, replace

the video display controller board.

o If a color graphics or composite video monitor is not available and

replacing the video display controller board does not solve the problem,

replace the internal video display unit.

If you do not hear a beep, replace the system board. If you hear any other

audible sounds, refer to Chapter 5 for more information on POST related error

messages.

6. Did the cursor disappear from the screen, replaced by the number of Kbytes

(shown in increments) on the display screen?

YES: This indicates the memory self test portion of POST. Proceed to

step 7.

NO: Replace the system board. Restart the system problem isolation

procedures.

7. Did the LEDs on the mass storage device flash, followed by one or two

short beeps?

YES: This indicates that POST and the SETUP utility have completed

successfully. The DIAGNOSTICS program should then boot and the

DIAGNOSTICS menu should appear on the display screen.

Refer to Chapter 4 for additional information on the COMPAQ

DIAGNOSTICS program.

NO: If the cursor reappears and remains on the screen, replace

the system board.

If one audible tone is heard and an error message appears, the SETUP

function was not completed on the system. Press the F1 key and

proceed to Chapter 3 in this guide for information on the SETUP

function.
