The error log appears. 5. To exit the screen, select the cancel icon or press Esc. The error log is not saved when the system is powered-off. Checking the Installed Devices List If a device is installed but the icon appears in a gray shade rather than a dark shade on the basic diagnostics screen, the device is defective. Reseat the device connectors. If the symptom remains, replace the device or the system board. If needed, adjust the contrast control to clearly distinguish the shades of the icon. If a device that is not installed appears in a dark shade (for example, FDD-2 appears in a dark shade when no second FDD is installed), do the following: 1. Replace the first device in the configuration, such as an FDD-1, an HDD-1, or a PCMCIA-1. 2. If the problem remains, replace the system board. The PCMCIA-1, Parallel, and Serial icons are always displayed in a dark shade because the icons represent 238 IBM Mobile Systems HMM
