[xxeximusxx]

Hey Guys Nice to Meet you!

so im a simi exp light tech who was just given a super exp job. Running the Ultra club HUSH's Lights. Ive been behind a booth for about 3 years and know a bit of knowlage, but this job is much much more advanced. For starters everything is Martin and the board im using is the MAXXYZ (not the tiny one either) The club has 9,000,000,000$ in lights and im expected the fix, maintain, program and run them all! Programing and running isnt that big of a deal but Fixing Martin 2000's! i dont really know where to start! I mean i can change a bulb or replace a fan but i dont really know how to fix memory or do the DXM functions. Anywho just introducing myself as i plan on getting LOTS of help here.
I hope i get to know you guys real good soon-

That is quite impressive! I would suggest maybe talking to a local rental shop that you have possibly done some business with before or if not talk around and see who people like the best and who you would get along with but anywho. Talk to them about possibly you working alittle in the shop for them in exchange for them showing you how to do some maintenance or other thing you need to brush up on. Also with that much gear you are bound to be having alot of contact with them whether it be renting gear when you have something crucial go down or just buying expendable from them. And who knows maybe they would sub-rent something form you.

theres about 6 martin 2000s that are broken and a few 250s too...and one of my 550s just stop responding...i think its the memory.

unfortunately i don't really know any shops in houston.
for the most part ive been using the Martin Manuals to fix stuff but im pretty sure sooner or later somethings going to break that i dont know how to fix and i want to be ready for it. (also im scared to death of rigging something wrong and killing someone or forgetting to change a bulb and blowing up a light ect)
my previous LJ jobs used at most a few Trackspots and Can lights with scorpion or Strobe here and there. Im pretty nervous.
