Key tips
- ·When no category-specific guidance fits, default to the manufacturer's own service manual and the general troubleshooting method in the Engineer's Guide.
- ·Run an incoming and annual electrical safety test regardless of how niche the device is.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
No or dim illumination / lamp fault
HighSymptoms: No light output, dim or flickering light, lamp-hours alarm, colour shift.
Root cause: Xenon / LED lamp at end of life, a lamp power supply fault, or a light-cable fault.
Poor video image
HighSymptoms: Noisy, dark, discoloured or out-of-focus image, dropouts, no image.
Root cause: Camera head / coupler fault, a camera-cable fault, or a CCU / video-processor fault.
White-balance / colour fault
MediumSymptoms: Cannot white-balance, persistent colour cast.
Root cause: Camera head sensor drift, a dirty coupler, or the light source colour temperature.
Overheating / fan fault
LowSymptoms: Thermal shutdown, loud fan, hot exhaust.
Root cause: Failed or clogged cooling fan.
Output / connector fault
LowSymptoms: Signal only on one output, connector damage, HD/SDI dropout.
Root cause: Worn video output connector or an output board fault.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Follow the manufacturer's PM schedule
- ·Perform incoming and annual electrical safety testing per facility biomedical program
Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: No or dim light
- Check the lamp-hours counter and replace the lamp module if near / past its rating.
- Inspect the fibre-optic light cable for dark (broken) fibres against a bright light.
- Confirm the lamp strikes (listen / watch) and the fan runs.
- Replace the lamp power supply if the lamp will not strike.
- Verify full brightness with a fresh cable.
Symptom: Poor video image
- Clean the scope lens and coupler and re-white-balance.
- Swap the camera head and cable to isolate head vs CCU.
- Confirm the light source output and cable.
- Try a second monitor / output cable.
- Replace the camera head or refer the CCU as isolated.
