Key tips
- ·Verify laser output with a real power meter, not the unit's own display - the display can drift independently of true output.
- ·Take "the image looks a little off" reports seriously - optical alignment drift is usually gradual, not sudden.

Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Light source / lamp failure
- Confirm the presentation - typically dim or no illumination - and note the exact alarm or message and the conditions when it occurs.
- Check the most likely cause first: xenon/halogen bulb aging.
- Isolate the affected subsystem using the manufacturer's functional check or self-test, where one is provided.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the replacement bulb / lamp per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.
