1. Turn off the computer.
2. Make sure that the optical drive that is supported as a startup device is installed on the computer.
3. Turn on the computer. If the computer cannot be powered on, go to “Power system checkout” on
page 35, and check the power sources.
If an error code appears, go to “Symptom-to-FRU index” on page 43.

Note: The PC-Doctor for DOS CD-R/CD-RW disc supports only test of internal optical disc drives (CD-RW,
CD-RW/DVD Combo, and DVD Multi drives) on ThinkPad computers. It does not support test of any optical
disc drives connected through USB devices, PC cards, CardBus cards, or similar. The USB limitation only
applies to testing of the device. Using a bootable PC-Doctor for DOS CD/DVD, the system can be started
from a USB attached optical drive.
