| Minipac death |
| (1/1) |
| protokatie:
I recently tried to re-purpose my minipac as a remote control for my livingroom entertainment PC. I even made a nice (relative) plastic control panel for it. When I hooked up my minipac, I could only get 2 of the leads to work, and both of them provided the space key. I tried on another computer and I got the same result. The last time I used my minipac it was working perfectly (which was like 4 months prior). I am wondering what would have caused it to die like this. I know it is an open board and subject to electric shock, but I hadn't even touched it in the interim. The only thing I can think of was that I had it on top of my CRT TV, but it was in a box (the prototype arcade control) and I did install the programming tool to reset the minipac to default config. Is my minipac just dead? And if so, could it being near a CRT cause this? Regardless, I bought a cheap PC remote for the EPC in the livingroom, but I mourn my dead Minipac... :< |

/\ What Ummon said... My IPAC died on me, well rather I killed it with some n00bish wiring back in the day. I spoke to Andy and he fixed it for me for free even though I damaged it myself, you can't say fairer than that. :cheers: I'm not saying he will be able to help you but no one is gonna know better than him. |

I should be able to help if you can drop me an email. It would be useful to know what happens on the self-test LED (if its not the very old version without LED), and also you could go into test mode to see if anything is revealed there (see www.ultimarc.com/interact.html) andy@ultimarc.com |
