Title: [Resolved] Broken inlet ?
Post by: manolito on November 04, 2018, 06:08:19 AM

Hi !

I'm currently building my Crack and I'm stuck at page 23. I tried checking the voltage on the inlet, but I'm getting some random mV value. The power cord is fine AFAIK (it read +- 120V). I checked resistance on the power switch, and it's 0. So I'm pretty sure it's on. With the switch off, it read OL.

Any idea what could be wrong ?

Thank you.

Is the fuse installed as directed in the manual?

Wow, I'm a moron. I reread the manual and I seem to have missed this part. I should've known it wasn't right for the fuse to not have been used yet.
Thank you and sorry for the silly question. I'll make sure I'm more careful from now on.

Good luck with the rest of your build! 
I had a blast building mind and am really enjoying it for many, many hours now.
It's a great experience.
Also great to know that helpful people are right here if you need it.
