I brought home 2 non responsive Blizzard Propar V12 fixtures for diagnosis/repair.. they had stopped responding to DMX
I walked through the various modes and programs to assure they were producing light in all colors. Tried various re sets of DMX address etc. Expecting the worst.
These have been "down" for months awaiting time to "repair" Turns out they got knocked out of Stage mode by someone with fumbly button fingers. (thankfully not during one of my shows)
They were working fine.. just doing what they had been told. Admittedly easier to figure out on a tabletop with a manual open on the computer, not 12 feet in the air in the dark with the display invariably upside down.
Now ask me for the Maytag front loader story... it's a doozy.
