Troubleshooting Flowcharts

Systematic diagnostic procedures for common failure modes.

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
No power	Fuse, power supply	Check F101 (2A), measure +5V, +12V, -12V rails
No disc recognition	Laser, servo	Check laser emission, focus search operation
Disc rotation but no play	RF signal, PLL	Measure RF amplitude, check EFM signal
Tracking errors	Tracking servo	Adjust tracking gain, check pickup sled mechanism
No audio output	DAC, analog stage	Check digital signal, DAC operation, output op-amps
Display issues	VFD, driver IC	Check filament voltage, segment/grid signals
