IV. Common Faults and Solutions
Network communication failure
Fault phenomenon: The network connection between the module and other devices is interrupted, data transmission cannot be performed, or packet loss, errors, etc. occur during data transmission.
Possible causes: Damaged network cables, such as broken outer skin of network cables and broken internal cables; loose RJ45 interfaces, leading to poor contact; incorrect network parameter settings, such as IP address conflict, improper subnet mask setting, etc.; hardware failure of the Ethernet controller.
Solutions: First, carefully check the network cable for obvious physical damage, and replace it with a new one if there is any; re-plug the RJ45 interface to ensure a firm connection; check and verify the network parameter settings to ensure that parameters such as IP address, subnet mask and gateway are correct and avoid conflicts with other devices; if the above checks are all correct but the fault still exists, it may be a hardware failure of the Ethernet controller, and professional maintenance personnel should be contacted for inspection and replacement.
Processor overheating failure
Fault phenomenon: During the operation of the equipment, the processor temperature is too high, resulting in slow system operation and even crash.
Possible causes: Failure of the cooling fan, such as damaged fan blades, stopped motor, etc., leading to ineffective heat dissipation; serious dust accumulation on the heat sink, hindering heat dissipation; the working environment temperature is too high, exceeding the normal heat dissipation capacity of the equipment.
Solutions: Check the cooling fan, and replace it with a new one in time if a fault is found; clean the dust on the heat sink, which can be carefully cleaned with a compressed air can or a brush to restore the heat dissipation performance of the heat sink; improve the working environment of the equipment, strengthen ventilation and heat dissipation measures, such as installing air conditioners and adding ventilation equipment, to reduce the ambient temperature and ensure that the processor operates within the normal temperature range.
Memory failure
Fault phenomenon: The system frequently has blue screens, crashes, or prompts memory errors during startup.
Possible causes: Loose memory module, poor contact; damaged memory chip; memory compatibility issues, such as using incompatible memory models or specifications.
Solutions: Open the equipment chassis, re-plug the memory module to ensure it is installed firmly; use professional memory detection tools to detect the memory, and if a damaged memory chip is found, replace the memory module with the same model and specification; if memory compatibility is suspected, refer to the equipment manual to confirm the supported memory models and specifications, and replace with compliant memory.
Interface failure
Fault phenomenon: After connecting devices to the serial port, parallel port or IDE interface, they cannot be recognized normally or data transmission is abnormal.
Possible causes: Loose interface, insecure connection; damaged interface circuit; driver not installed correctly or damaged.
Solutions: Check the interface connection, re-plug the device connection line to ensure a tight interface connection; if the interface circuit is damaged, professional maintenance personnel are required for repair or replacement of the interface board; for serial and parallel ports, check whether the driver in the device manager is normal, and if not, reinstall or update the driver; for the IDE interface, check whether the relevant settings in the BIOS are correct, and confirm whether the jumper settings of the hard disk and other devices match the connection mode.
