jgfan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Most likely you blew the triacs on those two channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-Paul Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 dudeinin,first do you solder? If so, maybe you can ask LOR about some. BTW what did you have plugged into those two channels? Did they every work? Even for a minute? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_k Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 yes i solder, i built 3 kits. i had 60 c9 led bulbs on each channel. they worked till i tried adding more lights and blew the fuses. i figured that i had enough power to add more bulbs and then i blew fuses and checked my calculations again and i was over. so i removed those bulbs and now 2 channels stay lite even after resetting unit.thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgfan Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 triacs arent that bad to replace, just did one for my dads controller the other day. I have built 5 kits. Its not to bad, I just clipped the legs on it they used desolder braid to get the solder off but a solder sucker would probably be better. The triacs are the items on the side that hook to the heatsink that has 3 legs on them. LOR will send you some most likely, thats what they did for me.
