The Dolphin engineer helped to access the F3 T> and then backup the important SYS files/firmware modules.

Next the engineer cleared g-list, smart and regenerated translator. The engineer has checked the NGlist entries before and after the translator regeneration to make sure the translator regeneration generates positive result.
