Hi Carl,

when you say that all the LEDs are on, did this happen before you switched off, or was it when you switched on?

Did you notice any fickering of the LEDs before the problem cropped up?

Cheers.

Karl.

Hi Karl,
All lights on the pod was ok then I pressed the start button and nothing happened apart from total light up from the pod,
Thanks

Hi Carl,

with a bit of luck it's the Op-Amp in the control box.

1) How good is your knowledge of electrics or electronics?

2) Do you have a multimeter?

Without this info I can't help you any further.

Cheers.

Karl.
