Standard Test Features

The Extensa Series Notebook Computers use modular design and built-in
test features to reduce the mean time to repair. A power on self test
program automatically verifies the operational state of the primary circuits.
Also, the notebook contains a powerful suite of diagnostic tests called
PC-Doctor, (described in detail in Appendix B) that can perform additional
levels of diagnostic testing.

Notebook Assemblies and
Subassemblies

disassembled for maintenance purposes using a standard set of flat-bladed,
Phillips-head and hexagonal screwdrivers. The major assemblies that
comprise a typical notebook in the Extensa family are shown in Figure 1-6
and briefly described in the following paragraphs.
