The Mouse Test checks the functionality of the mouse controller (which coordinates cursor movement on the screen with corresponding movement of the mouse or touch pad) and the operation of the mouse keys/touch pad. There are no subtests for the Mouse Test group. Mouse or touch pad problems are as likely to originate in RAM as they are to be caused by a faulty mouse or touch pad. Three sources of RAM-related problems include the configuration of a program (which changes the function of the mouse or touch pad), memory-resident programs, and failure of a device driver (the software that controls the function of the mouse or touch pad). If these possibilities have been eliminated and the following symptoms persist, run the Mouse Test: When you press a mouse button or the touch pad, the function of the button (or touch pad) continues; that is, the button (or touch pad) seems to be stuck. When you press a mouse button or the touch pad, the response is different from the usual or anticipated response, which indicates the button (or touch pad) contact may be damaged. A mouse button or the touch pad does not work at all. The cursor does not respond on the screen in accordance with the movements you make with the mouse or touch pad. The subtests in the Diskette Drives Test group allow you to test 3.5-inch diskette drives of all capacities. The four diskette drive subtests in the Diskette Drives Test group and the drive functions they test follow: Change Line Test Checks for bent pins on the diskette drive controller and for defective lines on the diskette cable Seek Test Checks the drive's ability to search for a specified track on the diskette and to position its read/write heads to all tracks Running the Dell Diagnostics 5-19
