Troubleshooting Problems and Solutions
This section provides specific troubleshooting advice on possible
problems and their solutions.
Before contacting Molecular Devices Technical Support regarding
problems, please review this section to see if you can address the
problem yourself. For more information, see
for faster resolution of your problem.
Isolating the Problem
The first rule in troubleshooting the digitizer or your software is to isolate
the problem.
1.
It is best to simplify your software configuration by turning off all
other programs. It might appear that there are no other
programs running in the background, but this might not be the
case. To see if other programs are running in the background, in
Windows, click on an empty place on the desktop and then press
Ctrl+Alt+Del
(holding these three keys down at the same time)
and then select
Task Manager
.
2.
On the
Applications
tab, close all unnecessary programs. Note
that virus checkers and automated Internet accesses can also
affect system performance.
Note:
If the instrument still does not power on after changing the fuses,
contact a Molecular Devices service engineer.
