jpkin,
Dell includes a series of tests for a system's hardware into the BIOS called the PSA+ diagnostics. You can run these tests even if the system lacks any media (hard drive, CD drive, etc.). To launch the PSA+ diagnostics on this system, perform one of the following actions:
- Hold down the <Fn> key while pressing the power button.
- Turn on the system, press <F12> at the initial Dell™ logo screen, and select Diagnostics from the boot menu.
- Disconnect the AC power and remove the battery. While holding down the power button, insert the AC connector into the back of the system. The system then starts and the message Diagnsotic boot selected displays. The system then launches the PSA+ diagnostics.
The version of PSA+ diagnostics on this system is text based, not GUI based. Because the text-based interface was chosen, all systems going forward will include the PSA+ diagnostics instead of reverting to the older PSA version.
Thank You,
Dell-Jesse1
