|    H10856 9556 / 9557 SYSTEM WILL NOT POWER    |

      From: ohland@charter.net              " Note:        There is also a keylock activated micro-switch on the adapter        guide assembly; it does not affect system power-up. "              So what about this micro-switch on the adapter guide assembly?                      SYMPTOM:        The 9556 or 9557 will not power up. There is no indication of        power from the fan, drives, power good LED, or keyboard lights.        There is no indication from the display that the system power        switch has been cycled.               PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:        Disconnect all external devices, printers, modems or switching        devices that are attached to the serial or parallel ports.        Remove the top cover and locate the Tamper-Evident Switches,        which are part of the Adapter Guide Assembly. Attached to this        assembly, and extending through the front frame, is the blue        service slider. As the slider is moved upward, it will contact        the metal actuator arms of two micro switches, allowing the        machine to be powered up with the top cover removed.        Both switches must activate for complete machine operation.        (The micro-switches produce a click that can be heard and        felt when activated.)               FIX:        If one or both switches fail to transfer, they must be        adjusted or replaced. To adjust the micro-switch actuator        arm, remove the adapter guide (with switches) from the system.        Move the blue slider to the bottom of its travel and form        the actuator arms, so that the switches activate when the        slider is moved up 1/2 to 3/4 of its travel. Caution should be        used when reinstalling the top cover. An extension on the inside        of the top cover will contact the slider and move it to the        bottom of its travel, then contact the actuator arms and        activate the switches approximately 1/2 inch before the cover        fully seats.               The 9556/57 HMS will be updated to identify the Tamper-Evident        switches as a possible cause of "No Power" symptoms.               Note:        There is also a keylock activated micro-switch on the adapter        guide assembly; it does not affect system power-up.               9556 adapter guide with switches: FRU P/N92F0243.        9557 adapter guide with switches: FRU P/N96F7758.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
