SECTION 3 PROGRAM FOR SERVICE
3-1. General
The Diagnostic Programs for Service are available with the following three kinds. DISKETTE TEST FDD is tested. As the read/write operation is performed to the floppy disk, set the DOS formatted 1.44M disk without the write protection before the PC-Doctor is started. Also, if the PC-Doctor is booted from the CD, the boot image of CD is treated as the floppy 0 (drive A), and accordingly the FDD is treated as the floppy 1 (drive B). In this case, the floppy 0 cannot be tested and N/A is displayed as the test result, but this is not a fault. MISCELLANEOUS TEST Other devices are tested. CD/DVD-ROM read check, CPU type check, and configuration check of PCI device, etc. are executed.
1. PC-Doctor
This can test the Mother Board, CPU, Memory, FDD, HDD, and Optical drive.
2. Sis Video Diag
This can test the VGA (sis 650/740 chipset built in).
3. nVIDIA Video Diag
There is one type of diagnostic programs, for the memory TNT2M64 (32M). This can test the VGA (nVIDIA Geforce4 Mx440 AGP card).
3-2-2. Test Result
After the test finished, �PASSED� or �FAILED� is displayed. In case of �FAILED� display, press the F1 key to display the log and then, check the faulty item. Certain items cannot be tested and N/A is displayed, but this is not a fault. Example of log file PC-DOCTOR 2.0 SYSTEM TEST LOG ================================= Inventory........................ CPU MHz is too low (700 vs 750) Inventory FAILED
3-2. PC-Doctor Starting Method
As the Diag. disc is a bootable CD, set the CD in the Optical drive and turn the system power on. The menu will be displayed, then select the menu. 1. PC-Doctor After the system started, set a DOS formatted 1.44M floppy disk without the write protection in the FDD, and the CD-ROM Disc in the Optical drive, select the model to be tested following the menu.

3-2-1. Test Items
CPU/COPROCESSOR TEST The CPU/Coprocessor are tested. MEMORY TEST The memory is tested. The bus throughput of the extended memory cannot be tested, and therefore N/A is displayed as the test result, but this is not a fault. SYSTEM BOARD TEST The Mother Board is tested. Also, the keyboard and mouse are tested, thus requiring the keyboard and mouse to be connected to the set in advance. SERIAL PORT TEST The COM port is tested.
