Preliminary Steps
This section covers troubleshooting information for the
Compaq Presario Series Portable Computers. The basic steps in
troubleshooting include:
1. Follow the
Preliminary Steps.
2. Run the Power-On Self-Test (POST).
3. Follow the recommended actions described in
the diagnostic tables, if you are unable to run
POST or if POST displays an error message.
When following the recommended actions in the Sections on
POST and Diagnostic Error Codes perform them in the order
listed. Rerun POST after each recommended action until the
problem is solved and no error message occurs. Once the
problem is solved, do not complete the remaining
recommended actions.
Note:
If the problem is intermittent, check the computer
several times to verify that the problem is solved.
