Author Topic: BARCO 1500 com issue Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 08-15-2019 11:39 PM                        Suddenly my Barco 1500 isn't talking to my Dolby 100 server. My Server Message says "ERROR UNABLE TO CONNECT TO PROJECTOR." The server and cat5 cable is 100% and works on another projector. So what CARD has gone bad? Information or Guesses welcome. PART TWO... I removed the "EBox" to swap cards now I can't get power to the EBox... I assume its a power POWER SUPPLY ISSUE.... WILL TEST FUSES ON FRIDAY.... OR just maybe the "EBox" is NOT SEATING CORRECTLY IN BARCO. fyi...the BARCO RUNS TEST IMAGES / PATTERNS OK.  |  IP: Logged Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 08-17-2019 06:15 PM                        FUSES TEST FINE.... but the "EBox" / CAGE will not power up. In fact when the EBox and Cards are installed... the Barco 1500 is dead.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 08-18-2019 04:47 AM                     Sounds like you may have shorted something. Check the elia box connector pins. PSU is not in the roca box on that machine so I feel it’s unlikely it’s the main cause. And the projector was working before. If you have a gore TI board - a big black board - bear in mind that even a scratch on its surface may disable it so you need to be super careful. Finally, a communication error may be caused by a number of issues, not necessarily on the projectors end. It’s hard to advise to be honest.  |  IP: Logged Allan Barnes Expert Film Handler Posts: 108 From: GRAND BEND, ONTARIO, CANADA Registered: Mar 2009 posted 08-19-2019 02:55 PM                        elia box connector pins.... I need more light and better eyes to inspect. THANK YOU  |  IP: Logged
