[comp.sys.handhelds] 48SX FAILED DIAGS

I recently had a crash with MLDL that caused me to have to clear all memory.
Since the memory was clear, I decided to try experimenting with the functions
available after pressing ON-D.  By pressing ON-D then y^x a cycling diagnostics
test is performed.  Strangely I got a failure message on one of the tests.
I am not sure what test is being performed but the tests run in this order:

SPD 194blahblah
DISP
The moving graphics display...
IROM OK
IRAM OK
U_LB 20000
RAM1 OK
RAM2 OK
FAIL 00020

Cycle repeats....  I have a REV E and two 32K ram cards merged.  If I free
the card in port 2 and remove it the message is FAIL 00120.  With both cards
removed it is FAIL 001A  With one card in port 2 I get FAIL 000A0.  Does
anyone know what the test is that my 48 is failing?  Is this anything to be
worried about?  The calculator seems to behave normally but I don't want to
be in the middle of something important and have it go!
