What's Wrong Help Needed - Quick Links to the Most Common Problems

If you could just figure out what is wrong you know you could fix it!

After years of receiving email and forum requests for tech help, the problems most customers have and the questions they ask start to follow a very predictable pattern. Kent decided to offer this "Quick Help List" that lays out the most common problems with links to the solutions we offer. He has even broken it down into categories. Each category will list the common problems and links to the parts and instructions needed to tackle the repairs. Where applicable you will be directed to one of Kents kits or manuals for help in diagnosing your problem. We know that isolating the problem can be more frustrating than fixing it!!!
