Trackspot error tone

Hi!

Whenever I turn on my trackspot I am getting the dreaded "two tone" error beep. (Two low pitch beeps, then two high pitch beeps, then repeat)

I've taken the trackspot apart, and here is what I've discovered:

I put the trackspot on a personality setting of "self test" (A.K.A dipswitch 1 is on)

As the trackspot boots up it goes through all of it normal clunking operations. Both the color and gobo wheel rotate, but as soon as they both find they're home positions, the error tone begins. I can cover up the sensor for either of these wheels and they will spin indefinetly, but then once I uncover a sensor and the wheel finds home, it will begin to error.

The lamp never turns on before the error tone.

What else can I do to figure out what the error is? Or does anybody know what it is from what I've described? Thanks for any help you can offer!

  • I'm not sure, haven't tried that particular scenario, I would definitely make sure they are all off, also try exercising them, maybe one of them is sticking, is it possible the switches got exposed to anything (liquid) that might be causing some of the contacts to short internally?
