ETMS Graduates - Info Needed

[Hooyah95]

I am trying to remember the Nuke ET 7-Step Troubleshooting procedure that they teach at ETMS.  Can anyone help me out?

Not exactly the Navy version, but same principles.

1) Symptom Recognition
2) Symptom Elaboration
3) List Probable Faulty Functions
4) Localize the Faulty Function
5) Localize the Faulty Component
6) Failure Analysis
7) Retest

And before the half-split where you check goz-intos and goz-outos, verify that the power supply is putting out the correct voltage and doesn't drop out on loading.  I've seen a power inverter give the correct voltage on the output unloaded.  And when it was lightly loaded, the voltage went to zero.
