Who Should Read This Book

This manual is for anyone who wants to:

•Diagnose hardware problems on an OmniBook notebook PC

•Understand the purpose of OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics

•Learn how to use OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics

•Know what to do when a test fails

•Provide HP-dedicated support agents with more information for solving

problems quickly and effectively

What is OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics?

The first step in solving a problem with a PC is diagnosis.

HP’s OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics (DiagTools) helps you diagnose hardware-

related problems on an OmniBook PC. It is a series of tools designed to help you to:

•Verify the correct functioning of an OmniBook PC

•Diagnose hardware-related problems

•Prevent unneeded repair

•Provide precise information to HP-dedicated support agents so that they can

solve any problem quickly and effectively.

OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics is not a repair tool.

Overview of OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics

The OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics utility has four parts:

•Hardware Detection, which automatically detects the hardware configuration of an

OmniBook PC. Hardware detection is described in chapter 2.

•The Basic Tests, which determine the correct functioning of the PC as a whole.

The basic test phase is described in chapter 3.

•The Advanced Tests. These provide complete, in-depth testing and diagnosis of

the PC’s individual components. The advanced test phase is described in

chapter 4.

•The Support Ticket, which is a complete record of the test results and the PC’s

configuration. The support ticket can be used to communicate the test results to

your local or HP-dedicated support agent. This is described in chapter 5.

Compatibility

OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics version 1.x can run on the following HP

OmniBook PCs:

•OmniBook 800.

Hardware Diagnostics

For OmniBook users, as well as network administrators, you must create an

Hardware Diagnostics. Use one of the following methods:

•For any compatible OmniBook PC, you can create the OmniBook Hardware

Diagnostics floppy diskette from a file downloaded from the World Wide Web.

OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics floppy diskette from TopTools, from the hard

disk, or from the Recovery CD.

OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics must not be run directly from your operating

system. OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics will function correctly only under the DOS

operating system and once the correct drivers have been loaded.
