500 series diagnostic mode

Post by mfortuna »

From the service manual posting by Luciano (bolero1000)

Power off by pressing clean for a few seconds.

Press and hold clean and dock while pressing spot 9 times gets into auto-advance mode.

Press and hold clean and dock while pressing spot 12 times gets into manual-advance mode.

Pressing dock in manual mode advances to the next test.
