General/Logic Board Troubleshooting - 5

 

The Cuda is a microcontroller chip. Its function is to 

• Turn system power on and off.

• Manage system resets from various commands.

• Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM).

• Manage the real-time clock.

Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda chip 

(see the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Press the Cuda 

reset button on the logic board to reset the Cuda chip. The Cuda 

reset button is located on the logic board to the right of the 

battery. Refer to the Logic Board Diagram earlier in this chapter 

for location information. If you continue to experience system 

problems, refer to “Resetting the Logic Board” in this chapter.
