TROUBLESHOOT
In
particular, check the tightness of the keyboard
cable
and
the
power
cord.
These
two
connectors
are
crucial
to
the
operation
of
the
Vector
4.
If
necessary, remove
the
keyboard connector,
then
reinsert
it
into
the
socket.
Be
sure
to
squeeze
the
locking
tab
toward
the
connector
during insertion.
When
inserting, listen for a "click" as the locking mechanism indicates a proper
connection.
General
lnstnretions
If
the
Vector
4 has
been
set
up according
to
its
requirements, the following
troubleshooting
procedures
should
provide
a
valid
and
accurate
guide'
to
user-serviceable malfunctions.
At
this point, the system should be:
• turned
OFF
(with the key in
a'vertical
position),
• plugged into a verified power outlet,
•
with
all
connectors
(power
cord,
keyboard
cable,
printer
or
peripheral
strips,
et
cetera)
checked
for
correct
positioning
and
tight
fit.
Next, identify your Vector Graphic System Diskette.
If
you have a floppy-only
system, insert
the
diskette
into
the
right-hand
drive
(Drive
A).
If
it
has
already
been
inserted,
remove
it
and reinsert
it
according
to
the procedure
outlined in Appendix
C,
"Care
and
Handling Of
Diskettes".
If
you
have
a
hard-disk system, keep the diskette nearby for possible use.
Now,
proceed
to
the Troubleshooting Flowchart. Follow
the
checks
outlined
there,
while trying
to
make the symptom repeat
in
the controlled
environm~t.
If
the
symptom does not repeat, then the problem must
have
been
either
due
to
an
improperly-connected
power
cord
or cable, some characteristic of
the
power
line
itself,
an
improperly-inserted
diskette,
or 'some
environmental
problem.
Note
the
condition
(power outlets, temperature,
et
cetera)
of
the
Vector 4 and make sure
that
it
is always operated under similar conditions. '
If
the
symptom
does
repeat,
refer
to
the
indicated
symptom
(isolated
by
number), against the
Symptom
Checks. Follow these
procedures
closely
until
the Vector 4 is functioning.
If
you
still
cannot
get
your
Vector
4
to
work,
then
check
your
service
agreement
to
determine the appropriate action.
