dibblejr Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Maybe you could start all over with how you are running your show first. ie (minidirector, laptop, desktop ect.) then explain what was going on in your area (snowstorm, ice, rain). Where are your boxes located? What controllers, software version. More of the facts surrounding and maybe you can get some assistance. I take it that the first thing you did when it stopped working was replace your cat5 cable? If it was running fine for two days why would you just replace the cat5 cable first? I think more info would get you a better chance of success. The great people here will help you Happy New Year JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laredolights Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 this also might sound a little stupid but have you added another sequence someone else shared that hasn't been configured to your controller numbers? i don't know much about the Animated Lighting controllers, but if they are like LOR with the power light and it is on then the computer is connected to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Id start by disconnecting all controllers. Connect one controller in and see if it works. If it runs then you know it is good. Disconnect that one and test the other in the same method. Once you know all three work or which do not work you can move on from there. Once you know which ones work then start the daisy chain process, connect the first working one in and then connect the next in each phase make sure all is working before moving on. Process of elimination BTW- can you still hear music? JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
