  • Page 4 Introduction <Introduction> 1. Basic concept of how to determine the defective board 1) Verification of voltages Normally, when there is a power problem, shutdown occurs immediately. So, to resolve a power problem, voltage checks are necessary before shutdown. 2) Check if the power comes up after disconnecting the board under suspicion. If power comes up (*) after disconnecting a board, the board is defective.
