General Troubleshooting
When a problem occurs in equipment, from the failure of either a mechanical
or electrical component, it is necessary to understand how to isolate the
cause of the problem so that it can be fixed.
Troubleshooting is the
logical process used to isolate the cause of a malfunction by identifying
the symptoms, isolating the fault so that corrective action can be taken.
