Power supply problems

Visually check cables for mechanical damage, cuts,
damaged insulation and twists. If a cable is damaged in
any way replace it.
If there is no obvious mechanical damage to a cable but
you think that it may be faulty, use a digital multimeter
(DMM) to check the resistance of the different wires
within the cable. An undamaged wire will have close
to no resistance (>0 ohm), a damaged wire will have a
high resistance value.
Make sure that all cables are correctly and securely at-
tached to their respective connectors. Connectors must
not be loose or misaligned. If the connector has a lock-
ing mechanism make sure that it is locked.
If you fi nd a loose or misaligned connector, disconnect
it and check for bent, broken or missing pins. If there is
damage, replace the cable and/or the board that has
been damaged.
