Troubleshooting the iBeLink DM22G Blade

 

11/18/2017 Rev1.1 Fixed steps for Section I. 

This  guide  will  help  you  to  troubleshoot  and  fix  some  common  issues  that  can  occur  on  the 
iBeLink DM22G Blades.  The three most common issues that can occur are the following: Blade 
not being detected, not detecting all chips on a Blade, and displaying a high H/W reading. 

I.

 

Blade not Detected 

The first thing to check is for a conductivity issue. 
1.

 

Remove the black and steel metal bar that is across the top of the blades.  They are 
held in place by 6 screws.  See picture below. 

 

 

2.

 

Remove the 4 screws attaching the Blade to the case.
