So I recently set up my new Element 40-250.
I updated the software, patched my instruments, recorded a few subs, and everything was working fine.
Today I turn on the board and the lights do not come on. The faders indicate their should be light. The patching is still there. The GM is up at full. Black Out is not on. The dimmers are working. I even tried replacing the DMX cable.
I've cycled the power a few times. Still nothing.
Thoughts....?

In Patch, verify that you are outputting data in DMX.
Secondly, verify you are actually outputting data. The "Output" value will show what the console is actually outputting.
If you have issues there, in Setup shell / Local I/O / Local DMX Outputs;
- Verify that "Enable" is selected.
- Verify that "Default Output Protocol" is selected.
- Verify that Console I/O Card has Port 1: 1 / Port 2: 513
- Verify that, unless you have Dimmer Doubling, that Doubling is deselected.
Go back to Patch and verify step 1.
If all of that fails, Go back to settings and enable sACN
Settings / Network / Output Protocols
Enable sACN via Ethernet / Make it Default.
DOWNLOAD sACNView onto a computer.

Connect the console to the computer via ethernet.
(Do you need a crossover cable for this?)
Any outputted data from the console should be displayed on sACN View.
e.g.:
