Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing technical support and exporting diagnostic data. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) includes a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a video failure in response to executing a Basic I/O System (BIOS)/Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) diagnostics routine prior to the booting of a main Operating System (OS), where the video failure renders the IHS incapable of providing a video interface; and in response to the identification, provide an audio interface to a user, where the audio interface enables the user to perform a troubleshooting operation in the absence of the video interface.
