Unhappy Turbo 35 GFX Problem

Has anyone had any problem with there gfx? Mine is froze on one page and won't allow me to do anything. I've tried disconnecting the power and leaving it of for a while and still nothing.

This is what it displays after booting up;

[READY] chg mode
[SETUP]

The buttons still chip when it push them, but nothing happens. This happened after I notice that program seven was displaying some weird font/symbloms/letters or something. I loaded that profile to see what I had saved there and then it happened. It's only about 2 months old. I'm using a River Gate 30 amp power supply. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys, I didn't know if it was a common probelem and I could get a quick fix. I guess I give them a call in the morning. I hope it's a simple over the phone fix, but with my luck, it's never a simple thing.

I am almost 100 percent sure you just blew a fuse. Check those and replace if one is burnt.

Already checked them and to the eye they looked fine. I will have to get out the old Fluke in the morning and check them. I thought when you blew a fuse it wouldn't work at all. Thats usually the design purpose of fuses.

Rob-Thanks. The Scheme i am running now is Originally from Roly. It's now Luck's version of Roly's design. As you said, both of them are amazing painters.

Good Luck with the GFX.

Thanks.


I tried to post a pic over on the painting forum with no luck. It looks just like the green body with yellow, orange, and white that Roly did.

...that's what I thought too and I was wrong . Listen to what everyone is saying here ..... happened to me couple of times and the fuse works like magic
