[req] halp with CF pad

Post by Fluffyumpkins » Wed Jan 23, 2008 11:43 pm

My Cobalt Flux pad isn't working.

Two of the panels are not working. I've tried to figure out what is wrong, and for whatever reason, the wire just will not trigger the sensor. They are a little bit frayed, but I don't think that would cause an issue. I'm willing to pay someone if they can fix it. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get inside of the damn thing.

Have you made sure the Control Box is good on all buttons? Some of the older V2 boxes like to pull wacky crap. I know back in the day the Cobalt Flux forums had more information on this, but sadly they are not up anymore.

Good question. Yes, I've tested it on a working control box. My old control box worked fine for years, but suddenly gave me these problems. Also tested a new control box and had the same problem with the same buttons.

Well, there is the option of unhooking all panels and dissecting the bottom metal portion, but that is also rather difficult task.

Cobalt Flux's support may be able to help you on this as well.
