How to use Apple Diagnostics

  1. Disconnect all external devices except your keyboard, mouse, display, Ethernet connection (if applicable) and connection to mains power.
  2. Make sure that your Mac is on a hard, flat and stable surface with good ventilation.
  3. Shut down your Mac.
  4. Turn on your Mac, then immediately press and hold the D key on your keyboard. Keep holding it down until you see a screen asking you to choose your language. When Apple Diagnostics knows your language, a progress bar will appear indicating that your Mac is being checked:
  5. Checking your Mac takes two or three minutes. If any issues are found, Apple Diagnostics suggests solutions and provides reference codes. Note the reference codes before continuing.
  6. Choose from these options:
    • To repeat the test, click ”Run the test again” or press Command (⌘)-R.
    • For more information, including details about your service and support options, click ”Get started” or press Command-G.
    • To restart your Mac, click Restart or press R.
    • To shut down, click Shut Down or press S.

If you choose to get more information, your Mac will start up from macOS Recovery and display a web page asking you to choose your country or region. Click ”Agree to send” to send your serial number and reference codes to Apple. Then follow the on-screen service and support instructions. When you've finished, you can choose Restart or Shut Down from the Apple menu.

This step requires an Internet connection. If you're not connected to the Internet, you'll see a page describing how to get connected.

Hello,
Having found out that there exists such a strong and powerful set of utilities for diagnosing hardware on the mac, does anyone know where I can find this? I am looking for ASDCD 2.1.5 which works with all MDD G4s and FW800 G4s. I was told that its much more powerful and comprehensive compared to the AHTCD.
Thanks,
Nadav
