Help with test resuts

[Duncanmcdrago]

I have run multiple test on a dell laptop e6400 and I keep getting that the com 1 registers and interrupts failing any idea's on what it is exactly?

Duncanmcdrago,

This indicates the COM1 port is failing the registers and interups test.  Have you checked to see if it is enabled in BIOS.  Either the COM port is bad or it is not set up correctly in BIOS.
