3-1-1. Solution
Please check and replace DIG301 on FRONT board.
3-1-2. How to troubleshoot (Countermeasure)
1) Check if 32 V, FL+ and FL- are output from SMPS to VFD via the MAIN board.
2) Check if the IC101 outputs VFD_RST, VFD_CLK, VFD_STB, and VFD_STB to the FRONT board.
3) Check if the VFD grid current amplifier circuit (Q301, Q303, Q304) on the FRONT board.
Check the drive signal to the transistor's base.
If the control signals from VFD (TP302, TP303, TP304) isn't output, replace VFD with a new one.
If the transistor doesn't work, replace it.
