Diagnostic Error Codes
Diagnostic error codes are displayed if the system recognizes a problem while running the
Compaq Diagnostics

damaged or defective.
The following tables list error codes, a description of the error condition, and the action
required to resolve the error condition.
Important: Retest the system after completing each step. If the problem has been
resolved, do not complete any remaining steps.
Note: Some of the solutions provided in this chapter involve replacing Notebook components.
Refer to the specific Removal and Replacement
