If memory problems occur intermittently, use the loop option to repeat the test. When the test detects an error, an error log is printed on the printer connected to the parallel port. See "Error Log" on page 421 for more information. System Programs in Flash Memory: System setup programs and diagnostic tests are stored in Flash memory. Flash Memory Update: A flash memory update is required for the following conditions: New versions of system programs. New feature or options are added. When Updating Flash Memory Do not power-off the computer, disconnect the Vac power, or remove the battery during the Flash update.

To update the Flash memory, perform the following steps: 1. Get the appropriate diskette which contains the update. 2. Insert the System Program Service Diskette into drive A and power-on the computer. 3. Select Update system programs from the menu. System Board and Processor Card Checkout The processing functions are performed by both the system board and the processor card. Processor problems can be caused by either FRU. However, the processor card generally has a lower probability of failure. When a numeric code calls the system board or the processor card as a FRU, or the processor card is called by a diagnostic test by showing FRU code 11, use the following procedure to isolate the problem. 1. Run the system board test to verify the symptom. This test verifies both the system board and the processor card. If no error is detected, return to "General Checkout" on page 393. 2. If FRU code 10 appears, replace the system board but do not replace the processor card. Transfer the processor card from the old system board to the new system board. 3. If FRU code 11 appears, reseat the processor card. 4. Rerun the test to verify the fix. 5. If FRU code 11 remains, replace the processor card. ThinkPad 755CE, 755CSE, 755CV, 755CX (9545) 395
