(B) Possible symptoms for each fault location

Fault Location (Contents of malfunction) Symptom
1. When IC1 (CPU) is faulty.
  1. System doesn't operate at ail. No picture at all.
2. When IC2 (OS ROM) is faulty.
  1. Since this is the program which operates the system, no picture will appear.
  2. Depending on the case, a mosaic pattern may appear.
3. When IC3 RAM is faulty.
  1. Since this is the unit that temporarily records data, no picture will appear.
  2. Depending on the case, a picture may appear, but it is easily distorted.
4. When 1C4 is faulty.
  1. Since this IC emits several control signals, no picture will appear.
  2. Controller may not respond properly.
  3. Pause, reset may not respond properly.
  4. If no oscillation is present, clock 3.5S MHz is not produced, with result that system does not operate at all; no picture will appear.
5. When IC5 is faulty.
  1. In addition, several control signals are involved; if fault is present, system will not operate and no picture will appear.
  2. Even if a picture appears, characters may be distorted.
  3. Colors may be improper.
  4. Sound may appear alone without picture.
  5. Picture may appear alone without sound.
6. When IC6, IC7 are faulty.
  1. Since these parts arc responsible for temporarily storing color data, picture may not appear.
  2. Even if picture appears, colors may be improper.
  3. Characters may be distorted.
  4. Picture may be move sluggishly or jerkily.
7. When IC8 is faulty.
  1. Since this is +5 V stabilized current, if malfunction is present, uniform +5 V is not present; system will not operate and no picture will appear.
  2. LED doesn't light.
8. When IC9 is faulty.
  1. Since this part converts the RGB signal to composite mode, a malfunction will result in no picture.
  2. Even if a picture appears, color may be abnormal.
