TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
F-4
4. Test the machine to determine if the fail-
ure symptom has been corrected by the
replacement PC board.
NOTE: It is desirable to have a spare
(known good) PC board available for PC
board troubleshooting.
NOTE: Allow the machine to heat up so
that all electrical components can reach
their operating temperature.
5. Remove the replacement PC board and
substitute it with the original PC board to
recreate the original problem.
a. If the original problem does not reap-
pear by substituting the original
board, then the PC board was not the
problem. Continue to look for bad
connections in the control wiring har-
ness, junction blocks, and terminal
strips.
b. If the original problem is recreated by
the substitution of the original board,
then the PC board was the problem.
Reinstall the replacement PC board
and test the machine.
6. Always indicate that this procedure was
followed when warranty reports are to be
submitted.
NOTE: Following this procedure and writing
on the warranty report, “INSTALLED AND
SWITCHED PC BOARDS TO VERIFY
PROBLEM,” will help avoid denial of legiti-
mate PC board warranty claims.
