How FilamentFix builds this guide
Diagnosis first. Manufacturer data when available. Alternative causes stay visible. Important technical values are sourced or clearly marked as unverified.
Do one useful thing next.
Keep the diagnosis controlled: change one variable, repeat the same test and record what improved.
