3 specific symptoms indicating a Power Supply Problem:
|
A)Complete: No Visible Indicator lights, No Disk Drive, No display
B) Partial: No Disk Drive Action, No Display but Lights and System fan may work. C)Also Partial: Continuous Beep Tone |
|
|
If System is dead Perform following Steps:
|
1) Check for Faulty external connections to Power Supply.
2) Check that system is on. 3) Check that Power cord is plugged into known good AC outlet. 4) Check that the Voltage switch is set to 110 or 220 depending on your region. 5) check Power supply Voltages to MB and system components |
|
|

|
How do you check to see the system is configured to detect a port?
|
Check the port settings in the CMOS utility.
|
|
|
How do you test a Parallel Port?
|
Connect a Loopback Test plug then run a Software diagnostic package. It Simulates a Parallel device by routing Output pins to input pins.
|
|
|
How do you test a Serial Port
|
Connect a Serial loopback plug and then run a Software Diagnostic package. The loopback plug is wired so that it simulates a serial device. The test checks for IRQ's and conflicts between the serial port and other installed devices.
|
|
|
What do you do if Serial and Parallel ports are functional but are failing to connect with a device?
|
Check for configuration errors.
A) Check IRQ settings and Port settings - make sure there are no conflicts. B) Check manual to determine appropriate settings |
|
|
To trouble shoot a Parallel or Serial connection what is the first step?
|
Make sure they are enabled in CMOS.
|
|
|
To trouble shoot a USB device what do you do first.
|
Check CMOS that USB port is enabled
|
|
|
CMOS checks out for USB Port, What next?
|
Check Device manager to be sure that USB controller is installed for the port.
