     1.4.113 8570 POWER PLATFORM MES UPGRADE INFORMATION   
      
         Record number:        H036205   
      
           Device:               D/T8570   
           Model:                M   
           Tip key:   
           Date created:         O89/10/05   
           Date last altered:    A91/03/06   
      
        SYMPTOM:  BLANK SCREEN AND NO BEEP AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE   
         POWER PLATFORM MES.   
      
        PROBLEM ISOLATION AIDS:   REMOVE THE POWER PLATFORM AND THE TWO   
         ROM MODULES.   
      
        FIX:  ENSURE THAT THE ROM MODULES WERE INSTALLED WITH THE NOTCH   
         FACING TOWARD THE REAR OF THE SYSTEM.  IF THE NOTCH WAS TOWARD   
         THE FRONT OF THE SYSTEM THE ROM MODULES ARE NOW DEFECTIVE AND   
         THE NEXT HIGHER ASSEMBLY, SYSTEM BOARD P/N92F0581, MUST BE   
         INSTALLED AND WRITTEN OFF TO MES BR5220.   
      
         SWAPPING THE POSITION OF THE ROM MODULES WHILE KEEPING THE NOTCH   
         IN THE CORRECT POSITION, TOWARD THE REAR OF THE SYSTEM, WILL   
         DISPLAY A BLANK SCREEN AND NO BEEP, BUT WILL NOT CAUSE DAMAGE   
         TO THE MODULES.   
         RE-INSTALL THE ROM CORRECTLY. REMEMBER TO USE THE EXTRACTION   
         TOOL AS A SUPPORT UNDER THE SYSTEM AS STATED IN THE INSTALLATION   
         INSTRUCTIONS. THE FOLLOWING MAY HELP:  EACH ROM HAS A PART NUMBER   
         PRINTED ON IT.  THE EVEN NUMBERED ROM, AS INDICATED BY THE LAST   
         DIGIT IN THE NUMBER, PLUGS INTO THE EVEN NUMBERED SOCKET U58.   
         THE ODD NUMBERED ROM PLUGS INTO THE ODD NUMBERED SOCKET U57.   
      
         AGAIN USE THE EXTRACTION TOOL AS A SUPPORT UNDER THE SYSTEM AS   
         THE INSTRUCTIONS STATE WHILE YOU ARE RE-INSTALLING THE POWER   
         PLATFORM.   MAKE SURE THE SPACE BETWEEN EITHER END OF THE   
         PLATFORM CONNECTOR AND THE SYSTEM BOARD IS NO GREATER THAN THE   
         THICKNESS OF A STANDARD PLASTIC CREDIT CARD.  FOR PROPER   
         OPERATION OF THE POWER PLATFORM IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IT IS   
         SEATED PROPERLY IN ITS SOCKET.
