Kaiju Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Apologies I think I posted this in the wrong forum earlier But i have an odd issue. Recently when I connect my Light phaser to my Master system, it powers off the system. As if it's shorting or tripping. Gun worked fine earlier in the day with safari, now just cannot power on the SMS if the phaser is connected. Only happens with the phaser. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to check/repair if possible? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Pin 7 and 8 on controller port are for power and ground. If you have a meter, check for short between that 2 pins. Also carefully open up phazer and see if there are broken or loose wire somewhere. If it looks fine and isn't shorted, do you have another SMS to test with or another phazer to test on your SMS. This would help rule out which one is causing the shut down issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 I am very. Very new to modding and electronics. This is just one of many issues where I was suggested to test using a meter. Can you point me to the right meter for the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
