WARNING!!  This procedure is intended to be performed only by specially trained Melco service technicians and personnel.  Disassembly by untrained individuals will void any warranty protection and can result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

WARNING!!    Do not attempt to replace or service any component in the rear of the lower bed without disconnecting the A/C power input cord.  Failure to do so will leave the power supply and power switch energized with dangerous levels of voltage even when turned off and can result in severe injury from electrical shock.

The power supply should be replaced when measurements determine that the power output is incorrect or the power supply is not functioning, or when the switch or the wiring between the power switch and power supply unit is defective, burned, or otherwise damaged.  For testing of the power supply, refer to Power Supply Test Procedure.

Repair Parts: (Replace/order only damaged or defective parts)

Not all of the parts in the Power Input Assembly require replacement, nor does Melco recommend replacing all the parts unless they are defective or damaged.  If the bulk of the parts in the Power Input Assembly are damaged, it is recommended that you replace the entire assembly.  If all you need to do is replace the fuses, do not remove the power input assembly from the machine, otherwise the power input assembly must be removed before working on internal components.
