born
with the most powerful trouble shooting tools:
Eyes
:
LOOK
for signs of wear, deformation, disconnection, pinched wires,
charger LED patterns
Ears
:
LISTEN
for beeps (error codes), clicks (relay), squeals (bearings)…
Nose
:
SMELL
overheated components, tranny oil leaks…
Touch
:
FEEL (carefully)
if components are too hot or not warm at all, vibration
Mouth
:
ASK
for help or a second opinion if something is in question. A
second set of eyes and ears can do wonders.
