We barely know that fine technology needs a fine protection and maintenance. One way to know their system problem is trouble shooting. Troubleshooting is the process of narrowing down the possible reasons for a failure until you left with the cause. Effective troubleshooting follows a systematic approach in solving a problem. It requires that you:
- Know The System – this mean that understands the detailed operation of the system by knowing the supposed sequence of events and what component causes each event. It requires by studying the block diagram, the schematic diagram, and wiring diagram.
- Investigate the Symptoms of Failure – the symptoms of failure often indicate which sections of the machine are in the real trouble.
- List Probable Cause of Trouble – base on what you know and the clues you have uncovered, list the probable or likely causes of trouble. Usually this can be done in your head. But if a machine is complicated, it can help to list with pencil and paper.
- Eliminate Possibilities Systematic – this means performing test on the machine in a logical order. Usually, you are trying to eliminate a whole group of possibilities with one test, narrowing down the choices as quickly as possible until you are left with the actual cause of trouble.
- Determine the root cause of trouble – getting the equipment run again is often not the end of the troubleshooting procedure. You may be able to discover why the trouble happened, and do something to keep it from again.
Simple ways to set a troubleshooting list but can barely help as a simple guide.
