New Laptop Docs: Laptop QC checklist

External

 * Check keeper label
 * Check any notes about the system that may have been left by previous volunteers, and check that no information is missing or incorrect.


 * Physical inspection
 * Check for any damage to the system like cracks or missing keys. If you find any, send the system back to laptop build.


 * Stickers
 * Remove any stickers that are not from Free Geek, especially of they identify the previous owner, or Microsoft Asset Tags

Hardware

 * BIOS
 * Plug in the power adapter and boot into the BIOS. If you get an error along the lines of 'checksum error' or 'defaults loaded', let your instructor know. Otherwise, check the boot order. The prefered order is to start with the CD, end with the network, with the Hard Drive somewhere inbetween.

 * Boot to the network and load the Hardware ID tool and keyboard testing tool.


 * Ethernet and USB test

 * Battery Test results

Software
