CONGO JR. HELP!!!

Hi Ian, 

what do you mean exactly by "locked up"? 

The console stopped responding to any facepanel

button presses? If so did the mouse continue working? 

Or did a small window pop up saying Congo has crashed? 

Or something else? 

How old is this Congo Jr? 

I think its best if you contact your dealer or ETC directly to help

you further:

Corey,

The orange hourglass was up in the corner like it was trying to process information. I wasn't able to get the software to respond or the facepanel. The mouse continued to work but there was an hourglass there too.

After about a minute, the fixtures and racks lost DMX connection, but the Dimming racks "wait and see" held the stage look long enough for us to shut down the console and reboot it.

I personally don't know how old the Congo Jr is... but my best guess would be 5-6 years old.

Hi Ian,

if this happens again, could you press the ESC key on the Console a couple times,

and see if you have access to the console again.

Is a network file server entered into Setup in the console? 

Is the console connected to a network?

What USB Devices are connected to the console? Mouse? Keyboard? USB Stick? Hub? Wing? 

Have you been able to contact your dealer or the ETC Hotline Number nearest you?   

I have had it happen before where the ESC key worked, but this time it was a complete lock up of both the facepanel and the software. There is no network file server but it the console is on a network.

There is a USB mouse, keyboard, and a Master Playback wing.

I just go into contact with our dealer this morning, I am sending her the show file and Congo Logs.

Is there any other information that I can provide?
