troubleshooting
Troubleshooting or dépanneuring is a form of problem solving, often applied to repair failed products or processes on a machine or a system. It is a logical, systematic search for the source of a problem in order to solve it, and make the product or process operational again. Troubleshooting is needed to identify the symptoms. Determining the most likely cause is a process of elimination—eliminating potential causes of a problem. Finally, troubleshooting requires confirmation that the solution restores the product or process to its working state.
In general, troubleshooting is the identification or diagnosis of "trouble" in the management flow of a corporation or a system caused by a failure of some kind. The problem is initially described as symptoms of malfunction, and troubleshooting is the process of determining and remedying the causes of these symptoms.
A system can be described in terms of its expected, desired or intended behavior (usually, for artificial systems, its purpose). Events or inputs to the system are expected to generate specific results or outputs. (For example, selecting the "print" option from various computer applications is intended to result in a hardcopy emerging from some specific device). Any unexpected or undesirable behavior is a symptom. Troubleshooting is the process of isolating the specific cause or causes of the symptom. Frequently the symptom is a failure of the product or process to produce any results. (Nothing was printed, for example). Corrective action can then be taken to prevent further failures of a similar kind.
The methods of forensic engineering are useful in tracing problems in products or processes, and a wide range of analytical techniques are available to determine the cause or causes of specific failures. Corrective action can then be taken to prevent further failure of a similar kind. Preventative action is possible using failure mode and effects (FMEA) and fault tree analysis (FTA) before full-scale production, and these methods can also be used for failure analysis.
So I’m working on a High standard Durango, 9 shot .22…. I’ve never seen this before and its my first experience with this revolver, I’ve looked everywhere and found no information on it either.. Im having major issues with the cylinder locking up. Originally the cylinder would lock up so the...
First, a little history. About 3 years ago, I got DEEP into building AR based PCC pistols. I started with a 9mm with a mag well adapter in a standard polymer AR lower, Colt pattern mags, and a CMMG upper. It was a cheap build, except for the upper, but it worked great. I didn't really like the...
Relatively new to the world of ARs, but I know my community here is well versed on the topic...
I recently did a build from scratch and took it to the range for some testing. On the first trigger pull, the gun went “click”. I removed round from battery and tried again, “click”. The primers on...
