[HOWTO] Use Apple Hardware Test and other diagnostics to test for hardware

[rflanery]

Hello,

On my dual 2.7 PPC G5 (osx 10.4.11) I'm getting an "Error Detected" on the "Memory" section of the Apple Hardware Test.

Here's the error code I'm getting: 2MEM/104/4IMM0/J11

Has anyone seen this before?

I've tried swapping out different memory sticks and still the same error.

sorry i mean 2MEM/104/4: DIMM0/J11

You didn't just swap them around, you took out half of them and then the other half to determine in which pair the problematic DIMM is, right? If it doesn't matter at all which DIMMs are installed, I fear it's rather logicboard/riser-related than DIMM-related.

Yeah I've tried both halves of the DIMM slots, same issue across the board. Yes, I was fearing Logic Board issues... Thanks!
