Nasty Nasty X Spot

OK Hoping someone has an Idea for me. 1 of our X spots here in OZ 240v at 50hz, The Current Supply in the Factory at testing was 243 Volts.
Ok, the X spot in question runs absolutely fine if it is sat on its base on a case, self test and with DMX Signal.Now for the conundrum.Hang the X spot as it should be off clamps (upside Down), and on start up the following errors imediatly appear in the menu,
Dim2 Sensor Blocked
Dim2 Edge notfound
Cyan Tab not found
CTO tab not found
Color Tab not found
If the unit is sent to self test or DMX signal, these errors are indeed very real and not just a glitch in the screen read out.I have Looked inside nothing appears loose as you may expect from this sort of problem that I can see.:confused:
Somebodys help would be much appreciated, maybe this is one for the High End Boys.

    [quote=TimMiller]when ever the wheels keep spinning that means that the sensor they use to home is blocked. Check the sensor and the wiring. Its probably a bad sensor. Try swapping 2ph boards around to see if different problems track with different boards. For your possibly nuked 3 ph board, check the two little fuses on it, if you are lucky one of them could have blown. If the board is bad send it off to highend or light parts for repair.
    To that end, there are LED's on the two phase card that show the status of the signal coming in from the sensors (the HES docs show which is which . . . ) which you can use to determine if a sensor is coming in OK or not . . . I have had sensors fail, and the good news is that they are pretty cheap . . .
