Overview of Diagnostic Tools
The hardware diagnostic programs provide two levels of testing:
• User-level testing using a basic hardware test.
• Advanced testing using individual hardware tests.

The tests are designed to run after the system reboots, so that the computer will be in a predictable
state during the tests. The tests are non-destructive, and are intended to preserve the state of the
computer. The computer reboots when you exit the program so drivers can be loaded.
Updating e-Diagtools
You can download the latest version of e-Diagtools from the HP Notebook Web site (see page vi),
then follow the included instructions.
