Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Problems
Step 1: Check configurations
Many times what appears to be a T2 fault is actually an easy-to-fix configuration
problem. Refer to the T2 Quick Start Guide for operator tips that help you verify basic
configuration and correct common record/play problems.
Step 2: Check connections and external equipment
Loose or improperly connected cables are the most likely source of problems for the
system, monitor, or other external equipment. A quick check of all the cable
connections can easily solve these problems. Refer to the T2 Quick Start Guide for
help with making connections. Refer to the troubleshooting topic "Checking external
equipment" on page 42 if you suspect a failure in a device connected to the T2.
Shutdown/restart problems
If the T2 is inoperable due to a software error it can effect the operation of the power
switch. If pressing the power switch does not shut down the T2, press and hold the
switch for 10 seconds. This forces the T2 to execute a hard power down. If that does
not work, turn off the main power switch on the rear panel and disconnect the power
cord.
Checking external equipment
This section provides troubleshooting procedures for external devices that connect to
the T2.
VGA display problems
The VGA is displayed during BIOS startup with VGA resolution.
Problem Possible Causes Corrective Actions
