I am using the 5xxx/6xxx Tester 1.0 to see if my computer qualifies for the Repair Extension Program for Power Macintosh and Performa 5200, 5300, 6200, and 6300 computers*. I need to know if this program will report both the logic board and the cache DIMM issues if my computer has them both?

The 5xxx-6xxx Tester 1.0 first checks for the logic board issue, and then it checks for the cache DIMM issue. A dialog is presented for the first issue found. So, it is possible that your computer could be experiencing both the logic board and the cache issue, but the Tester application only reports the logic board issue. However, when the logic board is repaired, it is replaced with one that has the correct cache DIMM. Thus, if your computer is experiencing both issues, they will both be corrected in the Repair Extension Program even though the Tester reports only the logic board issue.

Note that if your computer is only experiencing the cache DIMM issue, the 5xxx/6xxx Tester will display the appropriate message.

*Note:
The models included in this program are Apple Power Macintosh 5200/75 LC and 5300/100 LC, and Macintosh Performa 5200, 5215, 5300, 6200, 6205, 6214, 6216, 6218, 6220, 6230, 6290 and 6300. (The recently introduced Power Macintosh 5260 and 6320 are not included in this program because Apple corrected all the known issues with this product prior to manufacturing.)
