the cathode of A6CR201 (TP206) and the ground to A6TP201.
15.Set the current limit of the power supply to about 500 mA and the
voltage to 12 Vdc.
16.Make sure a jumper is connected from A6TP101 to A6TP301. This
independently powers the buck regulator control circuitry.
17.Connect a jumper from the output of a +12 Vdc power supply to the
end of A6R202 physically nearest A6C211.
18.Connect a jumper from +12 Vdc to the end of C207 nearest C209.
19.If the current draw exceeds approximately 50 mA, suspect a short in
the buck regulator control circuitry or a shorted CR201.
20.Check TP204 for an 80 kHz sawtooth (4 Vp-p).
21.Check TP203 and TP207 for 40 kHz square (12 Vp-p). If the
waveforms at either TP203 or TP207 are bad, one of the FETs in the
DC-DC Converter is probably defective.
22.Check TP105 and TP106 for a 12 Vp-p sawtooth waveform that is
flattened at the bottom. If the waveform is a squarewave, the FET to
which the test point is connected has failed or shorted.
23.Check TP202 for 80 kHz pulses (12 Vp-p).
24.Short TP401 to TP102. Check TP103 for a waveform similar to that
in Figure 12-8 on page 643.
25.If the waveform at TP202 is correct but the waveform at TP103 is
bad, suspect either Q102 or CR106.
