Diagnostics using PC-Doctor for DOS
The IdeaPad computer has a test program called PC-Doctor for DOS (hereafter
called PC-Doctor.) You can detect errors by running the diagnostics test included in
PC-Doctor. This section is an overview of the procedure. For details that depend
on model-unique functions, refer to "IdeaPad S9e, S10e, and S10" on page 45.
For some possible configurations of the computer, PC-Doctor might not run
correctly. To avoid this problem, you need to initialize the computer setup by use
of the BIOS Setup Utility before you run PC-Doctor.
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, do as follows:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. When the Lenovo logo comes up, immediately press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup
Note: If the customer has set a supervisor password, the BIOS Setup Utility menu
appears after the password is entered. If the customer has set a user password, you
can start the utility by entering that password; however, you cannot change all of
the parameters.
On the BIOS Setup Utility screen, press F9, Enter, F10, and then Enter.
Note: When you initialize the computer configuration, some devices are disabled,
such as the serial port. If you test one of these devices, you will need to enable it
by using Configuration utility for DOS. The utility is available on the following
