 \\  Updated 10-22-2016\\ \\ __**Troubleshooting**__\\ \\ **1. A pop mirror does not move IN or OUT**\\ \\ When a pop mirror does not move IN or OUT when clicking on the gui, the most likely solution is to change a blown fuse at the pop mirror. Below is the procedure on how to change a blown fuse.\\ \\ Tools needed: \\ Philips screwdriver, A small Allen key, Meter to measure resistance, Tweezers, Replacement fuse (see below at step 1. 4.)\\ \\
-  - 1. Check the small “POP Mirror Control Box” next to the troubled pop underneath the delay line rails. {{chara:files:POP_trouble_1.png|POP-trouble 1.png}} (Fig. POP-trouble 1)

-  - 2. Slide the CONTROL switch on the box to “Local”. The red “Timeout” led will most likely turn ON and may be one of the green ones (Fwd or Rev limit) indicating the current position of the pop. {{chara:files:POP_trouble_2.png|POP-trouble 2.png}}(Fig. POP-trouble 2) Try to use the RESET button: push it with a small enough Allen key. Slide the command switches according to the chart on the box to command the mirror to the other position. Wait about a minute. If the other green led will come on indicating that the mirror moved, then you are done. It was a simple timeout. Otherwise take the next step.

-  - 3. Disconnect all the cables; take the box off the velcro and to a convenient place. Unscrew the four Philips screws at the corners and slowly take off the lid. Do not disconnect the wires inside the box. On the backside of the lid you will see two fuses. Set the meter to beeping mode and check the contact between the two ends of each fuse. ( Fig. POP-trouble 3-4 )\\  A beeping fuse is good. You have to replace the fuse, which does not beep. It could be that both of them were blown. {{chara:files:POP_trouble_3_4.png|POP-trouble 3-4.png}}
