CUSTOMER PROBLEM ANALYSIS CHECK |
HINT:
- In troubleshooting, confirm that the problem symptoms have been accurately identified. Preconceptions should be discarded in order to make an accurate judgment.

- Gather as much information as possible for reference. Past problems that seem unrelated may also help in some cases.
