On the Subject of Error Codes
All of a sudden “Blue Screen of Death” takes on a whole new meaning.
- This module contains a screen displaying four 2-digit hexadecimal error codes.
- Only one of the four error codes is necessary to determine the fix code.
- Use Table 1 to determine which error code to use, labeled 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th going left to right.
- Convert the error code from hexadecimal (hex) to decimal (dec) (See Table 3).
-
Subtract the decimal error code from 101 to get the decimal fix code (for example, if the
decimal error code is 48, the decimal fix code would be
101-48 = 53). - Use Table 2 to determine which format the fix code must be entered in.
- Enter the full fix code in the proper format then press "Send" (See Table 3).
- Note: the fix code must include all appropriate leading zeros from the table: hexadecimal = 2 digits, decimal = 3 digits, octal = 3 digits, and binary = 7 digits.
- Careful: There is no backspace!
Table 1:
Number of Batteries is Even (0, 2, 4, 6...) | Number of Batteries is Odd (1, 3, 5, 7...) | |
---|---|---|
Serial Number DOES Contain a Vowel: | 1st | 2nd |
Serial Number DOES NOT Contain a Vowel: | 3rd | 4th |
Table 2:
Number of Batteries is Even (0, 2, 4, 6...) | Number of Batteries is Odd (1, 3, 5, 7...) | |
---|---|---|
Serial Number DOES Contain a Vowel: | Decimal (Dec) | Octal (Oct) |
Serial Number DOES NOT Contain a Vowel: | Hexadecimal (Hex) | Binary |
