More than ten backbox lamps that are wired together with bare bus wire are all dark.

A whole string of backbox lamps is out: blown GI fuse F110

Cause: These are general illumination lamps fed from the transformer through the GI fuses on the power driver board (wired in parallel, not series); the GI fuse F110 had blown.

Checks

  • Check the GI fuses on the power driver board and confirm their values against the manual.
  • Inspect the GI connectors at the driver board for burned or oxidised pins.
  • A corroded socket only affects its own lamp, not the whole string.

Fix

  • Replace the blown fuse with the correct value. If the board still has the original large GI diodes, members advise replacing them with jumpers.
