Just checking my gear over for a gig Saturday....checking the scanners and the first one went through the warm up...then shut down, didn't even get to the light.....
I figured it blew the fuse on the cable.....tried another cable same thing, just after the move around, just before the light come on it stopped again.

Looked at the other 3 they are fine just this one....

I figure it's blowing the cable fuse before it does any damage to the unit...

Can anyone help?
Has anyone else had this problem?

I had this with one of mine just kept blowing fuses on plug in .... took it in and was fixed under warranty , can't remember what the problem was but get it looked at took about 3 days for mine to come back and never had another problem.

Tony mirror balls dont blow fuses??????

Penmare,

Sell one and buy a Dynatwin or as others have said just buy another scanner. I'm sure I've seen them somewhere in singles.

Sell them all & get some nice classy fuzzlights :sj:

Or could now be the time for you to invest in some moving heads?

Budget is a bit tight, what with bass drivers and mirror balls plus extra's........
Might sell them all....i'll have a think!

Thanks guys.:beer1:
