A siemens healthcare diagnostics (siemens) customer service engineer (cse) burned the laser connector and low level data acquisition (lsdaq) printed circuit board (pcb) while replacing a hardware block on the advia 560 hematology system.The laser connector and lsdaq pcb were burned because the voltage supply cable was crimped between the assembly when the cse replaced the hardware block.This shorted the circuit on the pcb.A siemens headquarters support center (hsc) further analyzed the event and determined that the connector metal portion of the system's body shorted in the area from the pcb to the metal frame.This short created a residual black mark on the system.The residual black mark on the system was potentially caused by a capacitor shorting out.The cause of the event is use error.The cse replaced the lsdaq pcb and the system is performing according to specifications.No further evaluation of this system is required.
