Troubleshooting Overview 67
9 Is the main switching
FET (Q1) defective?
Check the electrical continuity of the switching FET
by trying four patterns below. Be sure to pay
attention to the polarity. If the main switching FET is
good, the findings should be as shown under the
figure.
Step 1: Off, Step 2: On, Step 3: Off, Step 4: Off
10 Is the NPN connection
transistor defective?
Check the electrical continuity of the NPN
connection transistor on the C298 PSB/SE board
by trying four patterns below. Be sure to pay
attention to the polarity. If the NPN contact
transistor is good, the findings should be as shown
under the figure. Note the NPN connection
transistor is shown in the circuit diagram as
described below.
Step 1: On, Step 2: Off, Step 3: Off, Step 4: On

11 Is the PNP connection
transistor defective?
Check the PNP connection transistor on the C298
PSB/SE board in the same manner described in
the previous step.
Step 1: Off, Step 2: On, Step 3: Off, Step 4: On
12 Is the +5 V regulator
(IC51) defective?
Check the IC51 for the oscillation waveform
(measured by using a oscillo scope) output from
the Pin 2. If the output waveform is as shown
below, it means the IC51 is working properly.
