This is a quick reference to symptoms and possible causes of the most
common problems experienced by users. For each symptom, one or more
possible causes are listed. In general, the causes listed first are the most likely
causes or the easiest to check and correct.
This chapter does not include corrective actions for the possible causes listed.
Some of the corrective actions required may be dangerous if performed
incorrectly. Do not attempt any corrective actions unless you are sure you
know the correct procedure and the dangers involved. See the other chapters
in this manual for more information.
If the material in this chapter and in the online help proves insufficient to help
you diagnose a problem, contact your Agilent Technologies service
representative.
