Hello, I’m an installer who’s done upwards of 40 DCHDMI/DCDigital installs, and I’ve encountered something strange with a unit that I installed. Everything tested fine and passed my 6 hour stress test, only to arrive with the customer and not be functioning. Specifically, the console turns on briefly and shuts off, what I suspected to be a short somewhere in the console.
After disassembly and various troubleshooting methods to track down the short, I found it to be on the DCDigital board itself (upon removal, the console powered up).
Now, I believed I tracked down the short on the board to the ESP module as I was getting multiple shorts on its pins. Replaced with a new module and the original indeed has shorts to ground. However there are still multiple shorts on various components on the board so I’m at a bit of a loss trying to track them down. I’m hoping Chriz or Dan might have some insight into solving this mystery and getting this customer’s board back up and running.
Thanks in advance for any insight anyone may have!
