    Adding 308 blows fuse, ? about card order (5 slot ACS)

    LOL, What fun this is!!! I will get back with episode II: Revenge of Randy. (Since I am working with a production system, I am playing it out by ear. Sorry, no timeline yet.)

    Adding 308 blows fuse, ? about card order (5 slot ACS)

    Well, I plugged the 308 into the wall and *poof*. I hate/love the smell of blown fuses. So I took a look at the power supply to see what and where. 1. The fuse was blown 2. The "big black pancake" circuit (the one with the c90-11 on it) was wacked out. (It looked like it arched with the...

    Adding 308 blows fuse, ? about card order (5 slot ACS)

    Thanks for the advice Chris and Paul. (Same names as my brother and father, heh) I will use the spare power cord I have and plug in the 308 directly without being in the carrier. I didn't dare try that without "consent". About putting it in slot 1, cool thanks. -Randy

    Hey Paul, Never safe to assume... Yes I did power down the carrier =) Yeah, the VS is in the last slot (slot5), so that's cool. Thanks for the help. Randy

    Swapping power supplies work? ( 308EC with 206 )

    Chris I got a new thermistor, diode, and fuse, so I may try repairing the power supply just for kicks, but before going through I was curious about the swap. Aarenot You are correct, in that some of the compenents are different. This leads me to try the repair first. Skip555 I don't want to...

    Swapping power supplies work? ( 308EC with 206 )

    I have a 308EC with a bad power supply. I won't go into detail as how it went bad, because you guys would think I was a total dweeb. I have a 206 (and 206E) with a good power supply. Can I swap the power supplies? They seem to have the same grey plug, the same green ground wire, and the same...

    Partner VS 5.0 led flickers when processing, normal?

    Hello again, I notice the following activity when the Partner VS 5.0 module is being used or has current load: Is this normal? (I'm a little trigger shy as you can see) 1) Led Flicker (similar to a PC hard disk led) 2) Hard Disk access noise (somewhat obnoxious) Note: The Led flicker is...

    Partner VS 5.0 Led goes off after initial boot up...

    When I turn on my system, the Partner VS module light goes red for half a second, then goes solid green for about 2-3 seconds, and then the led turns off. I do however continue to hear the hard drive making some noise, spinning, reading, or whatever it may be doing. The ACS stays solid green...
