Analyzing
Symptoms Start troubleshooting by analyzing the symptoms to determine a strategy for r esolv ing the
problem
Consider the following;
Has the system or configuration ever worked? If so, what changed?
Is the error condition reproducible or random?
Is the error specific to a particular system, configuration, or application?
What particular hardware or firmware is involved?
Are any non-Windows 95 device drivers or TSRs loaded?
Does the order by which drives or application start-up make a difference?
Does the error still occur with Safe Mode, or Safe Mode w/Network Support?
For additional information relevant to Windows® 95 configuration and operation,
please refer to the reference material included with your system.
Start Step 1. If desired, connect an external monitor to the VGA “out” port
The VGA “out “ port connector is located on the PC card cage. Open the front
access door. The VGA “out” port is in the XXX slot from the right as viewed from the
front, table mounted.
Step 2. Apply main AC to the projector and toggle the main AC switch to the “on”
position.
Monitor the boot sequence.
The normal boot-up sequence for the ALICE projector is as follows:
The AmPro 5200 follows an initial “power-up” sequences from the time the main AC
is toggled “on” to the time an image is displayed.
With the two IR Receivers connected, plug the main power cord into the receptacle.
Toggle the main AC switch to the “on” position. The projector will automatically start,
first displaying the custom Windows boot-up screen, and then the Scan Disk
operation will be evoked.
Once the Scan Disk operation has completed, the projector will automatically start
the ALICEXGA program and all associated programs.
Once all programs have booted, an automatic search for an external source will
start. If an external source is present, the projector will auto-select or auto-setup the
source. If no external source is present, the projector will switch to the internal
graphic channel.
NOTE; if more than one external source is present, the projector will switch to the
“last source” selected prior to the last shutdown.
