Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system.  If you have followed

all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical

Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this

chapter.  Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing

or installing any hardware components.

Before Power On

1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis.

2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for

the keyboard and mouse.

3. Remove all add-on cards.

4. Install a CPU (making sure it is fully seated), the chassis speaker and the

power LED to the motherboard.  (Check all jumper settings as well.)

5. Install a single memory module and make sure it is fully seated.

6. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch.

No Power

1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and

chassis.

2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions.

3. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system.

4. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set.

5. Your battery may be old.  Check that it still supplies ~3VDC.  If not,

replace it with a new one.

No Video

1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and

cables.

2. Set all jumpers to their default settings.  (Default settings are listed in

the Quick Reference sections across from the motherboard layouts.)

Check the CPU speed to make sure it's correct (see page 2-9 for

details).
