minkhill Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 One of my trees with C7s on it had a problem last night and tripped the breaker on that side of the controller. Today when I checked it I found a bulb was broke off and the socket was full of water. I fixed it and when I plugged it back into the controller the tree was on. The computer wasn't even hooked up. What have I Done? Last year went without a hitch but this year it is one thing after another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 If one channel is staying 'on' when no computer is connected (or the controller is not otherwise receiving a command to turn that channel on) then the triac was most likely blown.The two most reasonable choices would be to use a spare channel, or ask LOR to ship you a new triac and replace it yourself. (Caution: Requires soldering skills.)If those are not an option, then you will most likely end up simply not using that channel for the rest of the season.

minkhill Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 moved my sign to the stuck channel and copied the sequnce to the sign channel. Is it a simple fix or will I need to send the controler off and to who? will wait untill january to repair it.Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Those who have soldering skills say that it is an easy fix. (I don't solder, so I wouldn't know.)You can send the unit back to LOR for repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
