## Discrepancy

(CAN) CMC ELECTRONICS RECEIVED DEFECTIVE CMA-9000 FLIGHT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, PN 100-601951-503, SN 1091.  RETURNED FOR REPAIR. THE FAILURE MODE REPORTED "SCREEN NOT INDICATING DATA, TOTALLY BLANK (SN1091).  THE MAINTENANCE TECH CONFIRMED THE REPORTED FAILURE.  THE CAUSE OF FAILURE WAS ASSIGNABLE TO A DEFECTIVE COMPONENT U45 LOCATED ON THE FRONT END POWER SUPPLY ASSY.  HOWEVER, DURING INSPECTION IT WAS OBSERVED THAT A THERMAL PAD NORMALLY INSTALLED ON THAT COMPONENT USED TO DISSIPATE HEAT WAS MISSING. THIS MATERIAL WAS NOT INSTALLED DURING THE ORIGINAL MFG OF THE EQUIPMENT.  CMC HAS INITIATED A ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS AND WILL TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION AS DEEMED NECESSARY.
