• Before replacing parts, be sure to turn the main power off and disconnect the power plug from the receptacle.

Checking if the problem reoccurs
  1. Before replacing the board, cable and operation panel, check if the problem reoccurs.
Disconnecting, reconnecting and replacing the USB cable
  1. Disconnect and then reconnect both ends of the USB cable and check if the problem persists.
  2. If the problem persists, identify the cause of the problem according to the flowchart.

  3. For information about how to remove and reattach the PCBs, control panel and cables, see Chapter 4 "Replacement and Adjustment".

Replacing DIMM
  1. Unlock the DIMM socket, and then remove the DIMM.

  2. With the locks at the sides of the DIMM socket lowered outward, insert the new DIMM.

    Be sure to insert the DIMM vertical to the socket.

  3. Insert the DIMM all the way through until it clicks.
