F16 v3 Falcon Problem.

[mellowcouple]

Hi guys; I have a problem with my v3 f16. it worked ok up until a week ago. Now when I turn it on all the pixeks on every channel turn on and stay white. I have tried running a test from both xlights and FPP with the same result, all pixels are solid white and they don't do anything else. I had a chat in the Xlights zoom room but no luck. Doea anyone have any idea what the problem could be. Also is there anyone in Australia who could fix the Falcon and would it be worth fixing. Thanks in advance.

what troubleshooting did you go through so far?

Hi Kate, I tried the obvious ones, switch on and off, at the time I was only using 8 ports so tried the other 8 with the same problem. Checked to make sure the pixel strips were ok. Gave up and swapped the falcon out and replaced it with my spare f4 and tree works perfectly.

done a factory reset? can you get on the web interface at all?

 

[mellowcouple]

Yep done a rest and updated the software for fpp. Yes I can acccess the web page ok but cant do anyting when on there.

I'd try reloading the board firmware.

Only time I've seen issues like that is when condensation got on my board.

Have you done a "Upload output" from xlights to refresh the controllers config?

Ah ok havent tried that yet, will give it a go when I connect it up again. I am leaving it for a few days, just in case it got damp/wet.
