6. Press Scroll + Scroll + Return + Enter to enter the CE Tests menu. (Press all four keys at the same time.)

10. Press Return. The display will show

11. Press Scroll or Scroll until “SERVICE / HAMMER PHASE VALUE” is on the display.
12. Press Enter. The top line of the display will show

Vibrating shuttle timing

If the shuttle is vibrating, I suspect a bar may be bent or something is broken. You may want to take it for service.

How do I adjust the timing on a Brother LS2125i?

The total plastic cover on both sides must be removed. Behind the shuttle their is a timing gear that looks similar to a picket fence. This must be released by loosening the screw that you see holding the gear. Timing is set by adjusting the shuttle so it picks up the the needle thread as it rises. You can place a piece of thread in the needle while you are making this adjustment. When the shuttle and needle are timed properly you can tighten the screw of the timing gear. Check the timing in zig zag with a wide stitch. It should pull the thread up on the left and right swings if set properly. If not then make a minor adjustment on the timing gear. Take time to get this set properly or it will give you a headache once you assemble the machine and have to start from scratch.

A have printronix p5005 printer but printout not clear

Remove the black cover over the shuttle and look for a phase number hand written in blue marker on the right side of shuttle. Press the up and down arrows at the same time to unlock the control panel. Press left arrow to go to diagnostics. Down arrow and right arrow until phasing. Set phasing number same as what was written on shuttle assy.If it is making noise then the shuttle is bad.

No audio

When you install an operating system, you need to install the chipset
drivers, the graph drivers, sound driver.

This motherboard is old and phase out. So there is not much support
for the board.

There is one download for this board from shuttle, I posted the page
below and you will see the download. If this does not have the sound driver,
the only other two things you can do is go to devise MGR and see who made the sound hardware and see if they have it, or you can right
click on it and pick update software driver, search internet.
If you can find it or it does not find one for you, there is nothing you can do. Sorry.
