The machine and did not work on first power up. Throw off all the electronic devices and return them to their vendors as defective. Do not include symptoms of failure, just write BAD on them. While that approach may make you feel better for a while, it does not get your machine out the door and is unlikely to actually fix anything. Better to remain calm, send the boss back to his office, and begin trouble shooting.
Electrons are usually invisible and silent, which makes it hard to find leaks or restrictions.
We recognize that this is probably asking too much, so our products incorporate LEDs to help trouble shoot your system with our products. HCT products typically have a power LED to indicate that there is enough voltage to run our product. Off or flashing indicates a power problem and you must find it and fix it before worrying about any other symptoms. Note that on our microprocessor based products that power LED will flash steadily to indicate that the power supply voltage is higher than the maximum specified. When the power supply is too high it can cause the units to shut down, which also turns off the power LED or makes it flash erratically.
