Strike issues with StudioSpot 575

Hi,

I have some older (99-01 era) Studios Spot 575s.
One of them just today started having lamp strike issues. After powerup and homing, the display says STRK for a few seconds, then goes black. There is no "strike" sound, and the lamp remains dead cold. after about 30-60 seconds I get a "LITE TOUT" error. I've replaced the lamp with a new one, but I know both lamps work fine, I tested in other SS fixtures. This fixture was working fine last I turned it on about a week ago. Any thoughts on where I should start my troubleshooting?

Thanks,

    [quote=Puffyfish]Point is running an intel off a dimmer is a bad Idea :nono: so on that point I agree with TimMiller. I have seen guys blow up a lot of gear just because they were too lazy to run up another soco cable. It happens. One company blew 21 :eek: in one weekend. 16 on another show and 8-10 on a few others.
    It's just not the thing to do. It's not a matter of "if", but when,.. it will happen.
    It's protocol here to never run a fixture with a dimmer. It's one of my 'laws'. Break the law, blow up the gear, you pay for it.:dunce:

    No disagreement there, I was just trying to correct the misinformation in that post RE: dimmer waveforms . . .
