Hi all,
Today I fried a brand new I-Cue.
To explain the set up, the space rented 5 Wybron CXI scrollers powered by a Colorado II supply at 120V and 600W. The I-Cue takes 24V DC. I plugged the I-Cue into a color scroller powered by that supply, I didn't know the better. The I-Cue began smoking profusely. Once I contacted Roscoe, I discovered this was because Wybron uses a proprietary 4 pin XLR set up with the 1st pin taking the power, the second and third taking data, and 4th is ground. I was informed this is not industry standard. Thus I ran power down the data line which = smoke.
I had a buddy of mine take a look at the circuit board - he said the IC and the breaker are fried. I got a quote from Roscoe for a new board - yikes. Would it be easier (or effective) to try and find the serial humber for the IC?
The plan is to take it into a rental shop on Monday to see what they can do for it in terms of repair - also to get a professional opinion. I hope if they can repair VL4000s, they can handle an I-Cue.
Is that even worth it? Should the new circuit boad just be ordered?
I do now have a correct power supply (Apollo Smart Power 75). I am a high school student with aspirations as a LD and/or electrician - our department faculty is very heavily based in the acting aspect and not the technical side - I'm somewhat on my own here. Any help or advicd that could be offered would be so very much appreciated. I have attatched a picture of the portion of the circuit board that was singed.
