## Discrepancy

FCO - CREW REPORTED AS: "ON NR 1 RIGHT DOOR OPENING FOR CATERING, SLIDE PACK FELL INTO AIRCRAFT CABIN".  MAINTENANCE FOUND THE PACK SLIDE BOTTLE INDICATOR ELECTRICAL CABLE DAMAGED IN TWO PLACES, AND THE DOOR ASSIST BOTTLE DISCHARGED.  ADDITIONALLY, MAINTENANCE WAS UNABLE TO RE-INSTALL THE SLIDE ONTO THE DOOR.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS PLACED ON MEL, MAKING THE RIGHT, NUMBER ONE ENTRY DOOR/SLIDE INOPERATIVE.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE ESCAPE SLIDE/RAFT AND SERVICED THE DOOR ASSIST BOTTLE.  ONCE COMPLETED, THE MEL FOR THE RIGHT, NUMBER ONE ENTRY DOOR/SLIDE WAS REMOVED.
