None of the controlled (matrix) lamps light; GI still works.
All CPU-controlled lamps out
Cause: The fuse feeding the large 30,000 mfd lamp matrix capacitor in the backbox has blown, or there is a broken lug on that capacitor or the bridge beside it.
Checks
- Check that fuse.
- Inspect the capacitor and bridge lugs and wires.
Fix
- Replace the fuse and repair any broken lug or wire.
