Points
of failure |
 |
|
| Chassis carrying voltage |
One common fault is chassis not being properly
grounded, or in fact carrying a positive voltage, which will
cause major problems when you mount the unit in a rack together
with other equipment (and is also pretty bad safety-wise).
|
| Live fuse to battery terminal
short |
If you have a short between the battery terminal
and the live fuse, you will surely have problems getting the
MS6 to power up at all.
|
| Windings in the transformer
gone short |
If some windings in the transformer has gone
short, then the voltage will not be correct, which is not
very healty neither for the circuitry nor you.
|
| Battery acid leaks |
Watch out for this one - try to change your
battery in time, because it's pretty hard to clean the circuit
board from battery acid.
|
| Depleted battery |
Will cause the machine to lose its memory or
otherwise behave odd. Order a replacement battery from RS
Components, stock no. 422-393.
|
| Partially erased EPROM |
This will obviously make your machine very confused.
If you need a ROM image to re-program the EPROM, mail me.
Or buy my firmware upgrade while you're at it... :)
