The

Video Memory Test

verifies the integrity of the video memory either on the

system board or on a video expansion card. As the test runs, it describes which
64-kilobyte (KB) block of video memory is being tested. When a test is complete, a
message indicates whether the video memory has passed or failed the test. This test
does not require any interaction on your part.

9LGHR+DUGZDUH7HVW

The

Video Hardware Test

verifies the operation of the cursor registers and the hori-

zontal and vertical retrace bit registers. When a test is complete, a message indicates
whether these registers have passed or failed the test. This test does not require any
interaction on your part.

The

Text Mode Character Test

consists of a group of subtests that display printable

characters and character attributes. The subtests check character quality and the mon-
itor’s ability to display the characters correctly on its screen. A prompt at the bottom
of each screen asks the user to decide whether the display is satisfactory and to
respond by typing

\

or

Q

.

If you respond affirmatively to each subtest, the

Text Mode Character Test

passes. A

negative response to any subtest causes the test to fail.

The following subsections describe the subtests of the

Text Mode Character Test

in

the order in which they appear.

&KDUDFWHU$WWULEXWHV6XEWHVW[

The 80-column x 25-line character attributes subtest displays four lines of text that
demonstrate normal-intensity video, reverse video, intensified video, and blinking
video.

&KDUDFWHU6HW6XEWHVW[

The 80-column x 25-line character set subtest displays all 256 characters in the Amer-
ican Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character set in 80-column by
25-line text mode.

&KDUDFWHU$WWULEXWHV6XEWHVW[

The 40-column x 25-line character attributes subtest displays four lines of text in
40-column by 25-line (double-wide) text mode that demonstrate normal-intensity
video, reverse video, intensified video, and blinking video.
