Mario Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Hi Gang, I was all ready to go with 32 channels, had some tests and the display looked good. Then one night there was a short in a ropelight section ( a bit of arcing and a little smoke from where the rope joins the ac cord).. I have dumped the rope and replaced it with another. Problem is that this new rope is on all the time and is not controlled by lor. All the other channels work fine (luckily). To me it appears that during the short a resistor or diode has crashed and has locked that channel in the 'on' position. Please note that my knowlegde of electronics is not up there!. So it looks like I will have to get the faulty unit to lor for repair( I dont have a problem with this). My question is, can I continue to run the display(with no lights plugged into the offending channel) for the duration without causing a major melt done of the rest of the system?? Any ideas?? Thanks, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Chaput Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Yes no problem there you most problably blew a triac which you can change yourself if familiar with soldering.Contact Lor support for part# and price maybe get it in a couple of days(week)in your case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mario Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks for that Dennis. My stress levels have gone down. I had an idea that it was possibly something in that area. Will get onto lor for part numbers etc. At least I won't be disapointing the family and friends who want to see the show up and running. Thanks again, Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
