Few days later and I'm revisiting this issue, yet again. The one that I was originally having this issue with was sent to the shop for a new MCB to be put in. As I mentioned earlier have another light showing the same issue. Well more have started. I'm more than willing to bet that it will also require a new MCB. This now makes 5 lights having the same issue. All have been properlly maintained and are installed, never toured fixtures. All bought the same day in 2008. Fixtures are 2 years old and now 5 of 11 of them are having major Main Control Board issues. I know this isn't a common problem in most fixtures but come on...half of them?! What are the odds that I got a batch of lemons? The way it happens makes me think it is not my console but, maybe something went nuts with my Vista. But my fixtures of other brands work just fine, so I'm doubtful that it's my desk. What do you guys think? All fixtures are out of warrenty and 2 of the 5 have been repaired now, with 3 more showing the same issue. I'm a bit more than frustrated...
Sorry for the late reply. Have been swamped with shows lately. I did finally figure it out. The color bulkhead sensor was failing due to heat issues. It's actually a known problem to VL. The bandaid is to install a heat shield. It won't stop them from failing but will extend the life of the PCB. Your VL dealer can get these parts for you. Replacement of the PCB is very easy. Don't have the part numbers on hand to give to you or I would.Hi there,
I know this post is a few years old, but I am wondering if you ever fully solved this issue? I have a rig that is giving me the exact same set of problems, nd I am at my wits end with it.
And advice would be great at this point.
Thanks!
