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
Memtest is a useful tool found on many boot disks. Besides testing memory, it provides us a quick way to find processor and memory info. Memtest is available on Ubuntu (or other debian based) live cds and our netboot server. The Memtest program is also a boot option on the Ubuntu OS.
