more Cyber issues!!

I have a cyber hanging in a club that has been giving me what seems to be a common issue, it would boot up then run fine for a while then...... the bulb would go out and it would stop responding to dmx, then after 10 mins or so power down. Sometimes it was down for the night sometimes after a few mins it would reboot and run again, sometimes only for a few mins and other times for hours. Hell some nights it ran all night like a champ!! I've read all the post on here that seem to apply, and here is what I've done so far:

swapped out the 14 pin harness a few times--same

swapped out logic board a few times --- same

and yes the xlr connectors are locked

and today I pulled the power board resoldered the contacts, the reason for this is that if you bang on the light it starts back up making me think it's not a electric prob but something physical like a cold solder joint or component on the board. When I put it back in and everything worked fine....... however I do notice that one fan was not spinnig(one of the bottom ones) the light ran for about an hour when I noticed the lamp was out, it was running dmx fine. I was even able to re strike the lamp from the board, so I'm thinking it overheated. So I powered it off and back on, now here where I am lost? The all fans runs when the power is frist turned on it starts to home, stops for a sec the one fan then stops and it finishes homing and runs?

  • WOW! all the work and time, lots of time on this light I now have a working cyber(two days running and no prob so far)!!!! So what was wrong you ask?........LOOSE fuse holder!!!!

    I happen to be trying to fix it again and it happen to be dark enuff to see an arc when i banged on the thing. The one side of the holder was fine the other had a slight gap and the fuse was shorting on and off so fast that the light wasn't turning off, just the lamp one time, the data the next time, sometimes both.

    I bent the fuse holder tabs tight poped the fuse back in and all is right!

    BTW it was the F1 fuse
