Here are some things to try:
1) understand how the system works;
2) think about how all the parts of the system interact;
3) think about what parts might have stopped working;
4) check and confirm that they are still working the way they are
supposed to;
5) when you find something that is not working, fix it and then go to
step 1. Repeat until desired function is restored.
