This message only informs you that the test has started, and a message will not appear if the test passes or fails.

If the test fails, to resolve the problem, try one of the following:

1If the cover sensor fails, check that the front&panel assembly is correctly connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the front&panel assembly.

2If the Pincharm sensor fails, check that the sensor cable is correctly connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the pincharm sensor.

3If the Media sensor fails, check that the sensor cable is correctly connected to the electronics module. Try replacing the overdrive assembly (the media sensor is included as part of the overdrive assembly).

4Replace the Electronics Module ' page 8&13.

Only replace one component at a time and perform the test again before replacing another component￿ Using this procedure you will be able to determine exactly which component failed￿
