So..I accidentally dropped my radion into tank n screwed it up.any of the sponsors running a "special" on a radion unit or two at the moment?

Also need to know if any of the sponsors are able to repair my unit

Sheeesh! Aquarium depot are the importers, depending on damage you might have to replace the whole panels and boards. I'm sorry. It might cost you a pretty penny.

Looks like that's what might happen.eish.

Depending on what is damaged. Maybe give Carlos from above a call. They are the closest LFS to Aquarium Depot. Or Aquarium Depot directly.

check the PC boards for corrosion.

Looks like the pc board is stuffed as leds are going on but not as per the programme.usb also not working n fan is off .any1 know of a radion chopshop

 

[RiaanP]

leds are going on but not as per the programme

meaning? Do they all switch on? Witch color is the little led on top. Blue or green?

The leds do go on but not per programme. Fan also not going on.i can't tell what colour the small led is coz the ribbon cable tore while unit was dismantled.talk about having bad luck

 

[RiaanP]

ok, but does all the leds on the clusters go on, each individual one?

I don't recall the green leds going on. The white, blue, some of the reds, as well as the purple are going on

 

[RiaanP]

so for now, you first need the top panel for a new ribbon. so that you can do the settings.

Alternative, use the software and plug the unit in. On artificial you can set the individual colors and confirm that the unit is still working. That should indicate if you need more parts replaced. should also be able to program the unit on the right program from the software so no urgent need for the ribbon cable.
