[QUOTE="kme, post: 93684, member: 113"] I, who know NOTHING of the AM2, other than what it is...... Fault finding is weird. Ian3012 and Doc are both correct in what they say. Make yourself small mock-ups of a cct; or try to get your boss at work to let you go on a "fault-find" with one of the sparx. Do not be afraid to ask questions - its the only way you`ll learn :) Generally, it is a logical thought process. Why does this happen? Why do I get "blah" reading on my meter? What can cause it? Think of it like a flowchart. Somewhere between the start (CU) and the end (equipment that doesn`t work) is a problem. What sort of problem can it be? Different problems will display different symptoms. Learning to link one to the other is a key point in fault finding. Everything comes back to logical thought process. As Ian says, if you cannot mentally visualise it, draw it, or write it down. HTH KME [/QUOTE]
