Dead Unit

Complaint: Unit dead or won't come on.

What to Check:

Make sure the unit is plugged into a good outlet and turned on.
Listen for fans running on computer housing. If no fans are running, press the reset button on the computer and see if fans come on.
If fans do not come on, the computer is defective and should be removed for repair.
If fans come on after resetting, check the next step for the monitor.

Monitor Not Working

Complaint: The computer comes on, but the monitor is off.

What to Check:

The best check for this is to swap the monitor with another working monitor to see if it comes on. If it does, then the monitor is defective.
If the good monitor does not come on, then the problem is the computer.

Screen Freezing

Complaint: Screen freezes or acts sporadically.

What to Check:

This is generally a failure in the computer. No other test is necessary.

Jittery Steering

Complaint: Steering is jittery or jumps around.

What to Check:

You can try to re-calibrate the steering and add a line filter on the steering mechanism potentiometer, but more than likely, you will need to upgrade your steering unit by replacing the potentiometer with the new ESU kit.
