as a loose connection. Check the following before proceeding to the problem-
specific solutions.

you to solve the problem more quickly. Try to pin point the problem and thus avoid
replacing non-defective parts. Keep a record of the steps you take when
troubleshooting: The information may be useful when calling for technical support or
for passing on to service personnel.
