richerdk Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 OK, so i was trying to bench test my z1... Yellow and red Positive Black Negitive at 12v DC Everytime i try to test it, the blue backlighting behind the buttons flashes blue every 10 seconds....the fan pulses almost like i connect power and take it away repetedly...but nothing shows on the screen.... What do i do? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 What are you using for a 12v power source? It sounds like your source does not have enough juice (amps) to power the Z. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richerdk Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 It goes up to 35volts DC it's got plenty of juice enough to smoke it... Should I be usin AC? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Voltage does not have ANYTHING to do with amps. How many amps does your power supply put out at 12v? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richerdk Posted June 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Garrett you were right the power supply couldn't supply enough amps at 12v so I turned it up and it worked! I ran it at 20v DC and it ran like a charm! As always thanks! Just a note to anyone else trying this I strung together my own little wires and stuck them in to the power harness I got my wires from a telephone cable... Cuz I'm welfare lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
