Troubleshooting
Diskette Drive Problems Action
Diskette drive in-use
light stays on, or the
system bypasses the
diskette drive. If there is a diskette in the drive, verify that:
1. The diskette drive is enabled in the
Configuration/Setup utility programs.
2. The diskette is good and not damaged. (Try
another diskette if you have one.)
3. The diskette is inserted correctly in the drive.
4. The diskette contains the necessary files to start the
system.
5. Your software program is OK (see Software
Problem at the end of these troubleshooting
charts).
If the diskette drive in-use light stays on, or the system
continues to bypass the diskette drive, have the system
serviced.
Monitor Self-Tests Action
Some IBM monitors have their own self-tests. If you
suspect a problem with your monitor, refer to the
information supplied with the monitor for adjusting
and testing instructions.
If you still cannot find the problem, have the monitor
and system serviced.
Monitor Problems Action
Screen flickers. Set the monitor for the highest, noninterlaced refresh
rate available.
To reset the refresh rate, use a utility program, such as
AnyView Professional or WinMode.
The monitor works when
you turn on the system,
but goes blank when you
start some application
programs. Verify that the primary monitor cable is connected to
the video port.
To find the video port, see “Input/Output Connectors”
on page 8.
Be sure you installed the necessary drivers for the
applications.
