## Discrepancy

27 81 05 00  EICAS MSG L/E SLAT ASYM DISPLAYED, LEADING EDGE LIGHT  ILLUM  WITH THE FLAP LEVER IN 1.  BOTH FLAP POINTERS WERE CORRECT.  UPON WALK AROUND MAINTENANCE FOUND THE NUMBER 8 SLAT INBOARD PORTION EXTENDED AND OUTBOARD PORTION RETRACTED.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION DETERMINED A FAILURE OF THE ROTARY ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE FIXED LEADING EDGE AND BUCKLING THE SLAT ASSEMBLY.  ACFT WAS GROUNDED.
