10. Safety Indication:

Some electrical circuits or device related materials
require special attention to their safety features, which
cannot be viewed by the naked eye. If an original part is
replaced with another irregular one, the safety or
protective features will be lost even if the new one has a
higher voltage or more watts.

Critical safety parts should be bracketed with ( ! ).

Use only regular parts for replacements (in particular,
flame resistance and dielectric strength specifications).
Irregular parts or materials may cause electric shock or
fire.

6. Troubleshooting
6-1 First Checklist for Troubleshooting
1. Check the various cable connections first.
- Check to see if there is a burnt or damaged cable.
- Check to see if there is a disconnected cable connection or a connection is too loose.
- Check to see if the cables are connected according to the connection diagram.

2. Check the power input to the Video Board.

3. Check the voltage in and out between the SMPS ↔ Video Board, between the SMPS ↔ X, Y Drive Board, and between the
Logic Boards.

6-2 Checkpoints by Error Mode

6-2-1 No Power
- The LEDs on the front panel do not work when connecting the power cord.
Symptom - The SMPS relay does not work when connecting the power cord.
- The power of the unit seems to be out of order.
The SMPS relay or the LEDs on the front panel do not work when connecting the power cord if the cables are improperly
connected or the Video Board or SMPS is out of order. In this case, check the following:
- Check the internal cable connection status inside the unit.
Major Checklist
- Check the fuses of each part.
- Check the output voltage of SMPS.
- Replace the Video Board.

6-2-2 When the unit is repeatedly turned on and off

Symptom - The SMPS relay is repeatedly turned on and off.
In general, the SMPS relay repeatedly turns on and off by the protection function due to a defect on a board connected to the
SMPS.
- Disconnect all cables from the SMPS, operate the SMPS alone and check if the SMPS works properly and if each voltage
Major Checklist output is correct.
- If the symptom continues even when SMPS is operated alone, replace the SMPS.
- If the symptom is not observed when operating the SMPS alone, find any defective ASSYs by connecting the cables one by
one.
