ZBB12 Ti Issue....

i doubt anyones gonna be able to help with this.... but hey....

Ive got ZBB12 Ti Fuseblock (AGU Glass fuse style) And i just fired it up to test it indoors off of a 72 amp PSU that i use to test.. and i connected the negative of the PSU to the seperate ground connector on the fuseblock and fired it all up. After about 2-3 seconds the LED indicator (the one that pokes through the fuseblock and indicates voltage i think) fissled out with a little bit of smoke and now dosnt light... also... The RDDP port on the block dosnt seem to send a signal to the RMD display like all my others do... so im assuming whatever happened has fried the LED and the RDDP port on the block?? The block still functions (obviously) And the LED indicators are still functioning under the fuses... however there dosnt seem to be any noticeable burn damage on the board front or back and nothing looks broken? is it an easy fix? Any ideas guys? I'd like to get it back up and 100% functioning if possible.

I don't know for sure but you may have sent too much voltage through the block. Without knowing exactly what the engineers had planned on an acceptable amount of current and amperage, it's hard to say what could've gone wrong.

Or you could've just gotten a unit with a bad capacitor or resistor and it wouldn't matter what you had done!!!

Is there an easy way of testing it or replacing a few easily accessible parts?

If all else fails, try calling PG an see if there is a spare board laying around that they'd cut loose of........it's worth a shot......

Cheers Fuzzy.

Should i simply be able to test the transistors and see if anythings blown with a multimeter and replace it?

On a seperate note does anyone know where i can get the Super-bright LED's for Ti stuff? Or a replacement LED for the fuseblock?

Does anyone know whether i should be able to troubleshoot this with a multimeter?

You might want to give rolandk a PM. He was formerly PG's head repair guy.
