ELAC 2 No Go

ELAC 2 is no go since during the RAT extension in case of EEC, the ELAC 2 is the computer in charge of the pitch axis. During the RAT extension the Blue hydraulic power is not yet available and normal electrical power is lost, ELAC 1 can therefore not control the pitch axis of the aircraft during this phase.
-------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, ELACs are equivallent computers (also applies to SEC computers) which means that if you get ELAC 2 fault before departure, the best and quickest solution is to swap the computers (ELAC 1 inop and ELAC 2 ok).
