How to Use the Symptom Charts<br />

The Symptom Charts included in this chapter will help you diagnose specific symptoms<br />

related to the product. Because cures are listed on the charts in the order of most likely<br />

solution, try the cures in the order presented. Verify whether or not the product continues<br />

to exhibit the symptom. If the symptom persists, try the next cure.<br />

Note: If a cure instructs you to replace a module, reinstall the original module before you<br />

proceed to the next cure.<br />

Important: The only way to shut off power completely to the computer and display is to<br />

disconnect their power plugs from the power source. Make sure the power cords to the<br />

computer and display are within easy reach.<br />
