If these signals are not good, replace the power switch/flat panel interface board.
Symptom: Hardkeys or softkeys do not work
The A1 Keyboard contains the hardkeys and softkeys switches. The keys are arranged in a matrix (shown below) with
the control lines KEYCOLx and KEYROWx on the x and y axis. When you press a hardkey or softkey, one cell of the
matrix is activated; the normally TTL low KEYROWx of the active cell pulses high, and the normally TTL high
KEYCOLx of the active cell pulses low.
1. Ensure that the front panel green power on LED is on. If it is not on, refer to “Power Supply Troubleshooting” on
page 1- 14.
2. To ensure the signal generator is not being controlled remotely, press the
Local hardkey.
3. Use an oscilloscope to monitor the KEYCOLx and KEYROWx pins of the key that is not working at P13 on the
motherboard. Use the following table to identify the appropriate pin number:
4. If either signal is incorrect, use the following table and check the signal at P221, as it leaves the CPU board. If the
signal is bad at P221, replace the A18 CPU.
5. If both signals are correct, press the faulty hardkey or softkey while monitoring the KEYCOL or KEYROW on the
oscilloscope. The KEYCOL line should pulse low; the KEYROW line should pulse high.
If either line does not function properly, replace the front panel board.
