Hi There,
I have a Sirius24 that is not too happy about life at the moment.
It did a job in a slightly damp envionment (in some tunnels) and when I came to clear the memory after the show (good timing) the problems began.
The desk displayed IPL failed and the output lights where on (at varying levels), so I opened it up to check conections to the DMX PCB (as I had read on here) and the connections seemed good but there looked like there was some condensation residue on the main PCB, and the battery didn't look too good, I changed the battery and cleaned the board (only the one with the battery on it had any evidence of damp, odd) with isopropel alcohol.
The desk still sometimes comes up with IPL failed (not as much though) and the output LEDs are still on. I have tried unplugging all the ribbon cables that go to the faders - no change.
I have unplugged all cables to the DMX board - the output lights stay on.
I have tried unpluging the 2 lower PCBs (one at a time) to see if they where causing the faults and the output LEDs on which ever one is plugged in, still light up.
The LEDs are not all at the same level, and flicker slightly, when the faders are connected the level of the LEDs can be increased (all of the above happens when the desk has all faders down, or unplugged.
If anyone has any ideas they would be very welcome, I obviously have no problems in taking any readings needed.
Many thanks
Ben
