Apple IIgs: Failure of Internal Self Diagnostics (11/94)


I initiated the self test (Command-Option-Shift-Reset) on my ROM 03 Apple IIgs and it failed. The computer seems to work fine though. A friend has a ROM 01 computer and it passes each time.

Is there something wrong with my computer?

The internal self test is not a valid indicator of the health of your computer. In ROM 03 computers, the self test will fail with regularity.

If your computer is functioning normally, you should have no cause for concern. If there are abnormalities in its operation, it would be best to take it to an authorized service provider who can run disk based diagnostics to better determine the problem.
