These pins should measure 5V ±0.25V. If any of these measurements
is out of tolerance suspect the A2 controller board or the power
supply. If the voltages for these pins are correct, make the same
measurements at the identical pins on J1 of the A17 display driver
board. If these measurements are correct, suspect the A18 LCD
assembly or the A17A1 inverter board. If these measurements are
not correct, suspect the A17 LCD driver or A17A1 inverter board.
