Title: Crack won't turn on after speedball [resolved]
Post by: Jake1 on June 25, 2018, 06:58:31 PM

I just finished the speedball for the crack and all resistances and voltage tests along the way were within range.  All LED lights were on and things seemed fine.  I turned it off and brought it to a different room and it wouldn't turn on.  Nothing is working at all and all the voltages are super low.  I'm really confused about what could have happened.  Is there anything I can test to try and find out?

I'd suspect a broken solder joint  (while moving). So recheck everything (especially incoming power/the power supply). And do resistance checks.

That was my suspicion but I don't see anything obvious.  I checked the voltage across the N and L terminals of the IEC power inlet and there's no voltage across there.  So does that means. Broken power cord?

I went back and soldered a bunch of spots and now the tubes are working but none of the LED will work and the voltages are all still weird.

Finally figured it all out.  Was just a few loose joints idk what caused it to all happen at once since I've moved it around a good amount before and had no issues.  Thank you though it sounds fantastic!
