Testing the computer
Note: The PC-Doctor diagnostic CD does not support any optical drives connected
through USB devices or any others. It supports only the internal optical drive of
the ThinkPad Notebook.
To run the test, do as follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Make sure that the internal optical drive that is supported as a startup device
is attached to the computer.
3. Turn on the computer.
If the computer cannot be powered on, go to “Power system checkout” on
page 52, and check the power sources.
If an error code appears, go to “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 62.
4.
When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F12 to enter the Boot
Menu.
5. Insert the PC-Doctor CD into the internal optical drive.
6. Press cursor keys to select ATAPI CDx (x: 0, 1, ...) and then press Enter.
7. Follow the instructions on the screen.
