Troubleshooting Steps
Define Look at the symptom carefully and determine what circuits could
be causing the failure. Use your senses Sight, Smell, Touch and Hearing. Look
for burned parts and check for possible overheated components. Capacitors will
sometimes leak dielectric material
and give off a distinct odor. Frequency of power supplies will change with the load, or listen for relay closing etc. Observation of the front Power LED may give some clues.
Localize After carefully checking the symptom and determining the circuits to be checked and after giving a thorough examination using your senses the first check should always be the DC Supply Voltages to those circuits under test. Always confirm the supplies
are not only the proper level but be sure they are noise free. If the supplies are missing check the resistance for possible short circuits.
Isolate To further isolate the failure, check for the proper waveforms with the Oscilloscope to make a final determination of the failure. Look for correct Amplitude Phasing and Timing of the signals also check for the proper Duty Cycle of the signals. Sometimes
“glitches” or “road bumps” will be an indication of an imminent failure.
Correct The final step is to correct the problem. Be careful of ESD and make sure to check the DC Supplies for proper levels.
