How-To Steps
1. Remove the rear panel of the
console.
2. Examine the wire inputs to
connector J13 on the control board.
If any wires are loose, tighten the
screw terminals.
3. Using a continuity tester, measure
the resistance between terminals 1
and 2 when Feed Hold is pressed
and 3 and 4 when Cycle Start is
pressed.
If there's continuity at the
l
terminals on the control board
and the buttons still don't work,
examine the USB cable to the
control board.
If there's not continuity at the
l
terminals when the buttons are
pressed, remove the lower rear
panel of the console and examine
the screw terminals on the rear
of the buttons themselves.
1. Remove the rear panel of the
console.
2. Examine the USB cable going from
the header on the computer
motherboard to connector J12 on
the control board.
Shipping can sometime cause wire
terminals to become loose. Re-seating the
wires will usually fix non-responsive
buttons.
If you have tested all terminals and the
buttons still don't have continuity when
pressed, replace the buttons:
Feed Hold Button (PN 37363)
l
Cycle Start Button (PN 37362)
l
Verify that the power LED on the console
control board lights up when the console is
turned on. If it doesn't light up and you
have confirmed the USB connection,
replace the control board (PN 39146).
