Diagnostic Tools
This section describes the following diagnostic tools you can use for troubleshooting and repairing the
OmniBook:
· OmniBook hardware diagnostic program (below).
· Power-on self-test (page 3-20).
· Sycard PCCtest 450 PC Card (page 3-23).
· Desktop Management Interface (page 3-23).
· BIOS Setup utility (page 3-26).
OmniBook Diagnostic Program
The OmniBook hardware diagnostic program provides two levels of testing:
· User-level testing using the basic hardware test.
· Advanced testing using the individual hardware tests.
Figure 3-2. OmniBook Diagnostic Screens — Basic and Advanced
The tests are designed to run after the system reboots. This ensures that the computer will be in a
predictable state, so the diagnostic program can properly test the hardware components. The tests are
non-destructive and are intended to preserve the state of the computer. The OmniBook reboots when
you exit the program so drivers can be loaded.
Creating a Diagnostic Floppy Disk
Note
For units with BIOS 2.12 or later, you can run the diagnostic program from the hard disk —
without creating a diagnostic floppy disk. If, during boot, the computer displays F10 to start
diagnostic, press F10 to run the diagnostic test from the hard disk.
If you need a diagnostic floppy disk, insert a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive and do one of
the following:
3-14 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics HP OmniBook 4100/4150 · Check the \Dmi\Hpdiags directory. If diaginst is in this directory, run it. –or– If TopTools is installed, check whether the DiagTools page can create the disk. · On any computer with World Wide Web access, download the diagnostic software package from the OmniBook website (see page vi), then follow the instructions. Running the Diagnostic Test 1. If you’re using a diagnostic floppy disk, insert it in the floppy drive—or press F10 in the next step. 2. Reboot the OmniBook. 3. Go through the first several screens. 4. When the hardware detection finishes, check the list of detected hardware. The following information and devices should be listed if applicable: Product name Cache memory Graphics adapter Processor type Main memory Serial ports BIOS version IDE drives Parallel port Serial number Audio device Note If a device is not detected or fails its test below, it may be configured incorrectly in the BIOS Setup utility (page 3-26). You can confirm the problem by running BIOS Setup and checking the settings. 5. Run the basic test. Press F2 to start the basic hardware test. 6. If you intend to exit without running advanced tests, press F4 to save system and test information in the Support Ticket log file, HPSUPPT.TXT. Then remove the diagnostic disk, if present, and press F3 to exit. 7. Run the advanced tests. Press F2 to open the advanced test screen. 8. Select and run the appropriate tests. Tests are not listed if no such hardware is detected. Press the following keys to run tests: ENTER Runs the highlighted test. F5 or SPACE Marks or unmarks the highlighted test. F6 Marks or unmarks all tests in the current menu. F7 Marks or unmarks all tests in all menus. F10 Runs all marked tests. If any test fails, the error is logged (error code and description) and displayed temporarily (error code). If several errors occur, look for patterns that might indicate a common cause. See the table on page 3-15 for repair suggestions. Consider these suggestions in combination with other troubleshooting information. 9. When you are finished running tests, press ESC to exit the advanced tests. 10. Press F4 to save system and test information in the Support Ticket log file, HPSUPPT.TXT. 11. Exit. Press F3 to exit and reboot. 12. Optional: Check the log. The log file contains a hardware summary and a list of all test results and errors.Run C:\Dmi\Hputils\Hpsuppt.exe to retrieve the log file to this directory and open it in Notepad—or, if you are using a diagnostic floppy, the log file Hpsuppt.txt is on the floppy disk.
HP OmniBook 4100/4150 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics 3-15 Note that the serial and parallel port tests are more thorough if you connect a loop-back connector to the port before running the test for that port. See the wiring diagrams below. 14 125 13 6 19 5 Figure 3-3.

3-20 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics HP OmniBook 4100/4150 Power-On Self-Test Note If Quiet Boot is enabled in BIOS Setup (the default setting), press ESC during boot to see POST messages. The POST (Power-On Self-Test) is a series of initialization routines and diagnostic tests that the system BIOS runs when the computer boots. The system BIOS will not boot the operating system if system memory, the CPU, DMA, or the interrupt controller fails the POST diagnostic tests. POST progress is indicated by a sequence of codes. If possible, error messages are displayed. You should not interpret the failure of one or more POST tests as a hardware, software, or firmware failure. First, confirm the failure with a “clean” boot: · Remove all accessories, including RAM boards, floppy drive, port replicator, PC Cards, printer, external monitor, pointing device, and keyboard. · Provide “clean” ac power—no auto adapter or unusual ac adapter configuration. · Press the system-off button to start from a known state. If the computer fails to boot with a clean boot, it requires repair. If an error message is displayed, confirm the problem using other diagnostic tools. Not all POST messages indicate a hardware, software, or firmware failure—some messages are informational messages. If the BIOS detects a terminal error condition, it halts POST after issuing a terminal error beep code— up to four groups of 1 to 4 short beeps. The beep code indicates the POST routine in which the terminal error occurred. The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (no card installed or faulty) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero. Table 3-4.
