diskette drive test.

7. If the controller test detects an error, FRU code 10

8. If the controller test runs without errors, the drive

read/write tests start automatically.

9. If the drive test detects an error, FRU code 50 for

FDD-1 or 51 for FDD-2 appears. If the diskette itself
is known to be good, replace the drive.

10. If FDD-2 test detects an error, move the drive to the

computer's diskette drive connector directly, if
possible, and test it again as FDD-1.

If no errors occur in the FDD-1 position, the drive is
not defective. Go to “Port Replicator Checkout” on
page 134 to isolate the replicator problem.

To verify the symptom of the problem, power on the
computer using each of the following power sources.

1. Remove the battery pack and diskette drive.
2. Connect the AC Adapter and check that power is

supplied.

3. Disconnect the AC Adapter and install the charged

battery pack; then check that power is supplied by the
battery pack.

If you suspect a power problem, see the appropriate power
supply check in the following list:

“Checking the AC Adapter”
“Checking Operational Charging” on page 132
“Checking the Battery Pack” on page 133
“Checking the Backup Battery” on page 134

Checking the AC Adapter:

You are here

because the computer fails only when the AC Adapter is
used.

If the power problem occurs only when the port
replicator is used, replace the replicator.
