2-10 Troubleshooting
Computer Checkup (TEST) Error Codes
Computer Checkup (TEST) error codes occur if the system recognizes a problem while
running Computer Checkup. These error codes help identify possible defective
assemblies. Table 2-4 through Table 2-14 list Computer Checkup error codes, a
description of the error condition, and the recommended action for resolving the
condition. For removal and replacement procedures, refer to Chapter 5, “Computer
Removal and Replacement Procedures.”
IMPORTANT : Run Computer Checkup each time you complete a recommended action
step. If the problem is resolved when POST and Computer Checkup are rerun (in other
words, with no error codes), do not perform the remaining recommended action steps.
NOTE
: The error codes in the following tables are listed in an “AYE-XX” format,
where:
A or AA = Number that represents the faulty assembly
YY = Test or action that failed
XX = Specific problem
