The Laptop Evaluation is a rapid, production oriented process. It is designed to quickly separate old or unserviceable technology for recycling from still serviceable or repairable, laptops and reusable parts. Consequently, extensive troubleshooting or repair is not expected or encouraged at this step.
Memtest Notes
