Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
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.
System will not power on / power-supply fault
HighSymptoms: Dead system, no boot, or intermittent shutdowns.
Root cause: DC-to-DC converter module or the low-voltage power supply in the cart (test points on the Power Regulator board).
Poor 2D image quality / channel dropout
HighSymptoms: Noisy or non-uniform image, missing sector, artefacts across probes.
Root cause: Front-end / beamformer board fault, or a transducer-connector (probe port) fault.
Transducer not recognised / probe-port fault
MediumSymptoms: A probe is not detected on one port but works on another.
Root cause: Worn probe-port connector or a scan-connector board fault.
Overheating / cooling fault
MediumSymptoms: Thermal shutdown, fan noise, air-duct obstruction.
Root cause: Failed cooling fan or a blocked air duct.
Display / control-panel / recording fault
MediumSymptoms: Monitor blank or distorted, keyboard / TGC unresponsive, VCR / capture not working.
Root cause: Monitor, control-panel board, or the recording device.

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: Will not power on
- Turn off and unplug the system power cable.
- Check the power-supply voltage test points on the Power Regulator board (see the service manual).
- Remove and inspect the DC-to-DC converter module.
- Confirm the E-BOX POWER harness connector is seated at the Rear I/O panel.
- Replace the converter module or low-voltage supply as isolated.
Symptom: Poor image / probe not recognised
- Try the probe on a second port and a known-good probe on the suspect port.
- Inspect the probe-port connectors for bent pins or debris.
- Run any built-in front-end diagnostics.
- Reseat the front-end / scan-connector boards.
- Replace the probe-port board or front-end board as isolated.
