Steps to diagnose an electrical fault?
If your electrical equipment is not working properly, there are a few steps to diagnose an electrical fault to try to diagnose and fix the problem. This of course, is before you contact Greasley Electronics with a PCB fault enquiry!
1.Check the power source:
Make sure the equipment is properly plugged in and that the outlet is functioning properly. Try plugging the equipment into a different outlet or using a different power cord to see if that resolves the issue. This may sound simple, and it is, but often people can go into panic mode without clearly thinking what the first step might be!
2.Check the settings:
If the equipment has settings, check to make sure they are set correctly. Sometimes simple things like the volume or brightness settings can be the cause of the problem.
3.Check for damage:
Look for any signs of damage to the equipment, such as cracks or frayed cords. If you find any damage, please do not attempt to repair the equipment yourself. Instead, contact John or Stuart at Greasley Electronics here.
4. Contact the manufacturer:
If the equipment is still not functioning properly, contact the manufacturer. They may be able to provide you with troubleshooting tips or offer to repair the equipment for you free of charge.
Simple Steps to diagnose an electrical fault – What to check first!
However, it’s often the case that the equipment is old and they either do not know what to do or cannot repair it as they don’t hold the parts or it is out of warranty so they won’t consider a repair anyway. They may give you the only option but to replace it which 9 times out of 10 is not necessary. If you are unable to resolve the issue on your own, we urge you to contact Greasley Electronics. We have the expertise and tools necessary to diagnose and repair the equipment. More often than not we can look at an image of the circuit board and tell what wrong almost straight away, and what parts need ordering that need replacing.
