Hello,
Does anyone have any experience with an ETC Colorsource PAR (Deep Blue) not responding at all and just flashing every like 2 seconds a faint yellow color? Even when unplugged from DMX, it still does it, doesn't matter if there is a terminator or not. Tried to power cycle it, still does it immediately after getting power. Also, the little display screen shows nothing, even when first getting power and "booting up." The buttons on the fixture do nothing as well. Again, nothing shows up on the display screen and doesn't listen to any commands from the board. Just flashes every couple seconds. And when I say flashes, I mean it outputs no light, then flashes on real quick and back off.
It was working fine during a rehearsal, but then just became unresponsive at a random moment and wouldn't stop. For now, I have it unplugged from power until I can figure it out. I don't have time right now to bring it down, but I though maybe a firmware update, but it hasn't had any problems until now, and I think it might already have the most recent firmware. It has only ever been plugged into constant on/off power, no dimming.
Any help is appreciated, I am going to try to reach out to our lighting rep tomorrow morning when they are open again. Unfortunately, there are no close by dealers in the area, so I can't just take it into somewhere to look at.
Thanks!
