Check that the display is receiving power and all

breakers are turned on. When power is applied to

the display, power supply LEDs should turn on.

Check the data distributor LCD status to make

sure the input signal is locked and the output is

not blank.

Make sure the fiber-optic signal cable connects to

the data distributor. The input signal should be

locked.

Make sure the power status LEDs on the

modules, power supplies, and in the blank section

supplies connected to the module. If a power

indicator LED is off, ensure the fuse on the power

supply output is intact.

Check the ribbon cable input to the module and

the output from the previous module.

Check the data distributor receiver board status

LEDs to make sure the data distributor is receiving

power.

Ensure the fiber-optic signal cable is connected to

the data distributor. The input signal should be

locked. If the input signal is not locked, check the

fiber connections.

Check the ribbon cable connections between

modules in the garbled section. From the front of

the display, check the connection of the left-most

module first.
