1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols

!High-Voltage Safety Protocol: Disconnect 230V power before unplugging edge connectors or removing PCB.
!High Voltage DC Warning: Wait at least 5 minutes for SMPS and inverter filter capacitors (up to 380V DC) to discharge safely.
!Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): Ground yourself to the metal chassis or wear an antistatic wrist strap before touching circuit tracks.

3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks

Inspect PCB tracks with a magnifying glass for blown triacs, darkened copper tracks, or cold solder joints on power relays.
Check electrolytic capacitors for bulging tops or leaked electrolyte residue around pins.
Verify edge connector locking clips are intact and pins are free of vibration fretting corrosion.
