If it's a //e, hold down the closed (solid) Apple key and press Ctrl-Reset.
(If you see a screen that alternates between solid white and black, you have
an unenhanced //e with 64K of memory. If you see a screen with random large
colored pixels, you have an enhanced //e with 128K of memory.)

If it's a ][ or ][+, find a diagnostic program on disk -- there are no
built-in diagnostics.

If things are mostly working, you could use BASIC to do some simple
diagnostics (test the keyboard, game paddles, graphics, etc.)
