If a module is fitted, the related test system variable
should exist, Comptype verifies this. If it is a version
number check, then comptype compares the version
number with the version fitted. The value attached to the
string is only used in this test when checking version
numbers or memory size. If the value is non-zero, it
means the test is to be executed.

Speaker tests
You should be familiar with the correct sounds before
running these tests.
The screen will clear and the following will be displayed:
SOUND TEST Vx.xx DEALER
Running Loudspeaker Test
Listen and check sound quality
Stereo Output Channel
Flashing arrow heads (««) will then point alternately
left and right depending on the stereo channel being
used.
The test consists of a repeating sequence of 8 musical
notes.
1 Listen to the sequence of notes.
2 Check for any deviation from the known good sound,
and ensure that a clean sound is being emitted from
both channels.
3 Listen for any interference or background hissing from
the speaker.
Press F5 if correct, or F8 if not correct, to continue. You
cannot press a function key until at least one cycle of
each sound channel is complete.
Action if test falls: If no sound, check speaker
connections. Substitute a known good speaker and
retest. If OK, replace speaker. If test fails, change the
main PCB, or see Part 5 - Main PCB fault diagnosis.
Headphone tests
The headphone test is similar to the speaker test except
that the sound is sent through the headphones. The
same checks that are used for the loudspeaker test
should be undertaken. The first four notes are played in
one headphone and the next four notes in the other
headphone.
The screen will then clear and the sound test results will
be displayed.
Action if test fails: If no sound or poor/faulty sound on
known good headphones, change the main PCB, or see
Part 5 - Main PCB fault diagnosis.
Press the space bar to continue.
This is a subjective test – note any failures.

integrity of the bird/cursor.
Press F5 if correct, or F8 if incorrect, to continue.
This is a subjective test – note any failures.

surrounded by a contrasting border and consisting of 16
concentric circles beneath a horizontal band. The band is
divided into 16 sections with a pale border highlighting
the leftmost 8 sections. The object of the cards is to
display 16 shades, the border should be mid-range.
The four test cards are:
• Red
• Green
• Blue
• Grey scale
