Expected Tests Result :

• A. 5 IN 1: This runs the following 5 tests at once (J through N as listed below): LCM, SDRAM, RTC, FLASH/CHECKSUM, and FIREWIRE/FW ID. If you have a 3G iPod, at the end of the test, your buttons will now play a series of sound effects.
• B. RESET: Can your iPod reset? Run this test and find out.
• C. KEY: After you start this test, you need to press all the buttons on your iPod within 5 seconds. If you don't do it fast enough, it will fail.
• D. AUDIO: Plug in headphones, but don't expect an electronic rendition of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. This test checks the audio subsystem. You will see a message that says "0X00000000 DONE" if your iPod passed the test.
• E. REMOTE:
• This will test your iPod's Remote if you have one. Plug it in or the test result will be "RMT FAIL".
• F.FIREWARE: Checks your iPod's FireWire port. A successful completion of the test will return "FW PASS".
• G. SLEEP: Will put your iPod to sleep. You will need to reset your iPod to wake it back up.
• H. A 2 D: Tests the iPod's power. Your results should look something like this: "3.7V 0X000000E2 CHG OK FW 1 BAT 1". The results will be different depending if your iPod is plugged into your computer, a wall outlet or is just running off battery power.
• I. OTPO CNT: Tests your scroll wheel. Results are returned in hexadecimal.
• J. LCM: The LCM is your iPod's screen. Keep pressing the "Select" button to toggle through several pattern tests.
• K. RTC: Tests the iPod's built-in "Real Time Clock".
• L. SDRAM: The RAM memory test. Hopefully it will tell you "PASS"
• M. FLASH: Your iPod has built-in Flash memory that stores firmware information. This test will tell you what Firmware version you have installed.
• N. OTPO or
• Wheel A2D: Tests the A2D (analog to digital) input of your iPod's scroll, touch or click-wheel. You need to reset your iPod to exit this test.
• O. HDD SCAN: Scans your iPod's hard drive. This is a great way to see if you have a healthy iPod. This test will take a few minutes so be patient.
• P. RUN IN: Tests your iPod's chip sets continuously.
