How diagnosis works

01

Map the path

Name the device, connection and app in play.

02

Run one reference

Use a known test before changing the setup.

03

Change one variable

Let the result show where the fault followed.

What each result includes

States the reference

You know exactly what the browser was asked to do.

Names the uncertainty

A browser level is not a calibrated room measurement.

Keeps the next step clear

Your notes survive the handoff to support or a technician.
