2.

Turn on VGM power. Using 20-volt DC setting on

3. Using 2-volt AC setting on digital voltmeter,

 

 

 

measure same DC voltages as above. Any

 

 

 

reading indicates ripple or noise. In that case,

 

 

 

service power supply.

2.

Replace faulty PC boards and rerun self-test.

CAUTION: Don’t remove or install any connector while power is turned on. Doing so will damage circuit boards or hard disk drive, and void warranty.
