Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Hi all,Suddently noticed one of my new controllers has one channel stuck on. If there's power, it's on!Any home-remedy that works to fix this?Thanks,T.
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Depends on how handy you are with a soldering iron. It's most likely a bad triac. You'd have to desolder the old, purchase a new (Radio Shack sells them), and solder the new in, properly re-attaching it to the heat sink of applicable.Was it always this way? If so, you might have a warranty issue. If not, you'll want to figure out why it went bad (overload? Short?)-Tim

Contact orders@lightorama.com and they will step you through the repair/return process. If it is under warranty then repair is free.
