Sheldon_15 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 My controller was working for Halloween, I dissassembled everything and put it up. But now setting up for christmas it won't turn on! I wish I could give more information but I really just not know what's wrong. Any one have any ideas what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitusCarnathan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 By not turning on Do you mean the controller it self or Hardware utility sees the controller, But it won't listen to any commands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfing4Dough Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Possibly bad fuse on the board. You can get new ones cheap at Radio Shack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 If you have a Meter while the unit is unplugged set it to ohms or continuity and check both sides of each fuse. If you get around 0 Ohms the fuse is good, but if you get OL or infinity it is a bad fuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon_15 Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 I can't get to the fuse without unplugging a bunch of stuff from the board. Is there an easier way to get to it? Or do I unplug them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Not that I can think of, Before you unplug any of the hot's write the number on each connector to make it easier to reconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheldon_15 Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Haven't figured it out yet. I wasn't able to get to the fuses right away.But we had an ice storm come through putting set up off more than a week. And when the ice cicles melted off it brought the lights down with them But I finished my "tune to" sign. I used a CNC shop bot at my school to make it. It came out rather well!!But I will get the videos! Not sure when but it will get done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfing4Dough Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I don't recall having to unplug stuff to get to the fuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
