Apple Hardware Test (AHT)
=============================

Description

2014-12-05 11:19:17 -05:00
Apple computers ship with a pre-installed suite of hardware diagnostic tools, known as Apple Hardware Test (AHT). In principle you can start them by holding the `d` key while booting. Newer models support holding `option d` to load AHT over the internet. Refer to the official Apple documentation for details: Using AHT on [Intel-based Macs](http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509), [Mountain Lion](http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11342), [Mavericks](http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14291) and [Yosemite](http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18765). Apple redesigned the AHT, now called [Apple Diagnostics](http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5781), for Macs introduced after June 2013. Consult the [reference codes](http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203747) to interpret the results.

Apple removed the obsolete AHT page
2014-12-05 11:10:10 -05:00
If however, you reinstalled an older computer from scratch, the diagnostic tools might no longer be available. Unless you have the original disks that came with your computer, there seems to be no way to restore the AHT.

fix broken macforum.ro link
2014-11-28 02:32:55 -05:00
It happens that Apple provides disk images with AHT for most computers, but does not make the links publicly available. Various blogs and forums, mostly [Riven by Five](http://rivenbyfive.blogspot.ch/2012/01/download-and-run-apple-hardware-test.html) and [MacForum.ro](http://arhiva.macforum.ro/comunitate/topic/1194-apple-hardware-test/) have gathered a list of download links. The rest were obtained by scraping `http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Hardware_Test/` for all the links of the form `0(18|22)-\d{4}-A.dmg`.
add which links have been scraped
2014-01-19 12:51:35 -05:00
Even though there's no guarantee that this list is correct or complete, some links can come in very handy to whoever is trying to debug hardware problems.

add commands to determine model and board id
2014-01-15 04:31:12 -05:00
You can use the following terminal commands to determine the model and board ID of your computer:
```sh
simpler command to find harware model
2014-12-23 15:41:32 -05:00
sysctl hw.model | awk '{ print $2 }'
simpler board id command (issue #10)
2015-06-17 06:26:23 -04:00
ioreg -l | awk -F\" '/board-id/ { print $4 }'

```
add instructions for bootable usb stick
2015-11-18 04:32:45 -05:00
Download the AHT for your computer model and use the contents to restore the `/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics` folder, then reboot while holding `d` to start the diagnostic tools. Alternatively you may try with a bootable USB stick, as described below.

no 1-1 correspondence between hardware model and AHT
2015-10-28 03:12:46 -04:00
Note that there is no one-to-one correspondence between hardware model and AHT. For some models no hardware test could be found, while others seem to have multiple AHT. As the differences are not clear, feel free to try them out, to see which one works best for your hardware.

details how to format USB stick
2016-01-04 05:04:16 -05:00
* You need a bootable USB stick, for instance using Disk Utility's _Erase_ with `Format: OS X Extended` and `Scheme: GUID Partition Map`.
* Let's assume the USB stick is mounted under `/Volumes/USBstick`.

2015-11-18 04:32:45 -05:00
* Download the AHT for your computer model from the list below.
* Mount the AHT dmg. Let's refer to the mount point as `/Volumes/AHT`.
* Copy the AHT to the USB stick and flag it as bootable
```sh
cp -r /Volumes/AHT/System /Volumes/USBstick/
sudo bless --folder /Volumes/USBstick/ --file /Volumes/USBstick/System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics/diags.efi --label AHT
```
* Insert USB stick in the computer to be tested, boot holding the option key and select the AHT.
