ZPA 0.3 won't power - Fixed

SkierMan · Post by **SkierMan** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 4:17 pm

I recently purchased a 0.5 and 0.3 off ebay. I hooked them up to a power supply individually and the .3 will not turn on. The 0.5 turns on, green lights on the top, and 4 red lights.

The 0.5 looks like this, except there are no yellow lights, 2 green ones. But the 4 red lights are on. Is this normal?
(borrowed picture from another thread)

What should I do on the 0.3? Send to PG?

did u have the cover on; one of the screws has to be screwed in, or else, the amp will not come on- i know that sounds like a stuid question, however i did that once b4 on a zpa, but if the 0.5 came on , im sure u already know this-

I did not have the cover on, silly me. The 0.5 has the microswitch bypassed, the 0.3 does not. It came on. While I am at this, what are common things to replace? I know the caps are, but can't find any info on which ones to purchase?

I used 8600uf 16v nichicon in my 2125. The Ti's just snap in I believe which are a lot easier to replace. Not sure on the ZPAs though.

if the zpa boards are like the Ti's then no soldering required. At least that's what i've been told
