What to do if my Molecular Devices Laboratory Equipment doesn't power on?
First, ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both a functioning power outlet and the receptacle at the rear of the VERSAmax. If the power failed while the VERSAmax was already on, check the power cord isn't loose or disconnected and that the power outlet is functioning properly. If these checks don't resolve the issue, the next step is to replace the fuses.
How to open the drawer on Molecular Devices Laboratory Equipment after an error?
First, try pressing the [Drawer] key. If that doesn't work, power the instrument off and then on again. If the drawer still won't open, turn the power off and using your thumbnail, locate the groove in the upper left side wall of the door to open it. Then, use your index finger to pull the microplate drawer out of the instrument.
