IN CASE OF PROBLEMS
If your MF-68 fails to operate properly we suggest that you first go back and
double check all parts. Be sure that they are turned as shown on the drawings and
that they are the correct part number. The majority of problems turn out to be
incorrect assembly. Using the printed pattern as a guide look over the board for
solder bridges. Accidental solder bridges are the second most common problem in
kits that are returned for repair. Be sure that all jumpers called for are in place
and that all connections have been soldered.
If you suspect that the "Shugart" SA-400 drive unit itself is not working
properly, remove the drive and return it to us for testing. Do not attempt to
adjust, or repair the drive unit. Special equipment and tools are required and
considerable damage can be done by attempting to work on these units without proper
training.
REPAIR SERVICE
If you have a problem that you cannot solve, the kit may be returned for
factory service. Please return the entire* kit (Chassis, case, PC boards, cable,
drives, etc.) Be sure to include the supplied diskette containing FDOS.
*Remove the power transformer. This reduces postal costs and damage. Selected
individual boards may be returned but in most cases it is best to send the entire
unit. Do not remove the boards from the drives themselves and send them in. Repairs
are performed for a flat labor charge per board plus parts and postage.
