Testing the computer
In this product, you need an external optical drive to use the PC-Doctor diagnostic
CD to test the hardware features.

connected through USB devices or any others.
To run the test, do as follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Attach an external optical drive through the USB connector to the computer.
3. Set the external optical drive as a startup device.
4. Turn off the computer.
5. Turn on the computer.
If the computer cannot be powered on, go to “Power system checkout” on
page 43, and check the power sources.
If an error code appears, go to “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 53.
6. When the ThinkPad logo comes up, immediately press F12 to enter the Boot
Menu.
7. Insert the PC-Doctor CD into the external optical drive.
8. Press cursor keys to select ATAPI CDx (x: 0, 1, ...) and then press Enter.
