System Trouble shooting This chapter provides instructions on ho w to trouble shoot system hardware problems. Hardware Diagnostic Procedure Chapter 4 IMPORTANT: The diagnostic tests described in this chapter are on ly intended to test Acer products.
System Check Procedures Power System Check If the system will power on, skip this sectio n. Refer to System External Inspection. If the system will not power on, do the following: • Check if the power cable is properly conn ected to the system and AC source.
Beep Codes Beep codes are used by the BIOS to indicate a serious or fatal error to the end user. Beep codes ar e used when an error occurs before the system vide o has be en initialized. Beep codes will be generated by the system board speaker, commonly referred to as the PC speaker.
Checkpoints A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to I/O port 80h. The BIOS out puts checkpoints throughout bootblock and Power-On Self Test (POST ) to indicate t he task the system is currently executing.
Chapter4 64 Checkpoint Description DA Restore CPUI D value back into register. Give control to BIOS POST (ExecutePOSTKernel).See P OST Code Che ckpoi nts section of document for more information. DC S ystem is waking from ACPI S3 state. E1-E8 ECEE OEM memory detection/configuration error.
Bootblock Recovery Code Checkpoints The Bootblock recovery code gets control when the BIOS determines that a BIOS recovery needs to occur because the user has forced the updat e or the BIOS checksum is corrupt. The follo wing table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during th e Bootblock recovery portion of the BIOS.
BIOS Recovery 1. Put the BIOS.ROM (like P01-A0) to a bootable USB me mory key (Disk on Key,DOK). 2. Install the DOK to the system 3. Press power button to boot the system. 4. The BIOS recovery function will be exec uted. (you will head a lon g beep and one short beep) 5.
