Troubleshooting

The front panel keys (S901-S931) are organized into a row-column matrix to minimize the
number of microcontroller peripheral lines required to read the keyboard. A key is read by strob-
ing the columns and reading all rows for each strobed column. Key down data is interpreted by
the display microcontroller and sent back to the main microprocessor using proprietary encod-
ing schemes.
Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting information for the various circuits is summarized below.

Display board checks

If the front panel display tests indicate that there is a problem on the display board, use Table
4-1. See Principles of operation for display circuit theory.
