Notes:
  • One of the most common tasks requested when troubleshooting a system is to update the system Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) also called the system setup.
    It is strongly suggested that the BIOS be updated to the most current version available before running diagnostics. For more information, refer to Dell Knowledge base article What is BIOS and How to Download and Install the latest BIOS?
 
  • Depending on the version of the BIOS on your computer the results may change concerning the component that is listed. Make note of not only the ePSA error and validation code but which component is listed
 
  • The last three digits in the code are called the beep code. These beeps occur when the system is unable to display a message. For example, error code 2000-0142 has a beep code of 142 which may be manifest by 1 beep – pause - 4 beeps – pause - 2 beeps. In this case, the beeps are trying to inform the operator that the hard drive self-test was unsuccessful.
   
  • The easiest way to search the table for a code is to press and hold the Ctrl (control) key and to press the f key, this opens the find or search function. Enter the code exactly as it was shown to you.
