What comes up on the TPC screen? What color is the IMB indicator on the screen? Any errors?  |  IP: Logged Stephan Shelley Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 854 From: castro valley, CA, usa Registered: Nov 2014 posted 01-18-2017 05:14 PM                     Is the marriage button on the PIB solid green? If not you may need to perform marriage.  |  IP: Logged Muhammad Shoaib Film Handler Posts: 8 From: lahore punjab pakistan Registered: Apr 2016 posted 01-19-2017 02:19 AM                     Thanks for Reply Sir yes i am talking about side lights of projector on IMB card, here i have FIPS light Red,Kindly give me some solution  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If, for some reason, the projector was without power for 2-weeks or more, it is a very common problem with the IMB S2  |  IP: Logged Muhammad Shoaib Film Handler Posts: 8 From: lahore punjab pakistan Registered: Apr 2016 posted 01-29-2017 03:42 AM                     Thanks Steve for your answer. Exectly this is the problem.our cinema were closed 15 days due to some internal affairs.now FIPS light is RED,is there any way to remove this error.as i tried to do marriage the error comes IMB must b installed and powered up.but i can communicate SD card and NAS in IMB Summery. now there is only one error FIPS Light is red.IS there any way to remove this error?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

If it is in warranty, then begin the procedure for obtaining a warranty replacement in your area (I cannot speak for outside the USA...though I would think that your dealer would still be the first place to start). If it is out of warranty then I don't know what Christie's policy of repair/advance replacement is. My recommendation is changing it to a superior product that does not have this problem.  |  IP: Logged Muhammad Shoaib Film Handler Posts: 8 From: lahore punjab pakistan Registered: Apr 2016 posted 02-01-2017 08:28 AM                     thank you So much Steve for clear my mind.but here i have one more IMB Card which show SM Run Red light.can this card can be make useable?or its also is a dead card ?  |  IP: Logged Andrew Thomas Master Film Handler Posts: 273 From: Pearland, TX, USA Registered: Jun 2012 posted 03-11-2017 12:34 PM                     FYI: Apparently all the IMB-S2s built before 2016 have lifetime FIPS failure warranties from Christie.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
