The camera blower is intermittently spinning. Install a golden blower loosely to the assembly and check that the flex cable is able to provide power to the blower.
3 action
The camera blower is completely off. Disconnect the faulty blower and check with a golden unit.
4 action
Replace the faulty camera blower with a new one and ensure that the new blower is spinning consistently.

Contact Zip EOL On Call for further assistance with the tester or Zip.
6 action
Issue is Resolved, continue with EOL testing.
