| Post subject: | Vagabond 2 Problem |
I bought a Vagabond 2 power unit late last summer. I used it on one shoot with my Photogenic lights. It worked flawlessly. I put it on the shelf and plugged it in every couple of weeks or so to charge. Just before Christmas, I took it on another shoot with the same model of Photogenic light. As soon as I plugged the light into the Vagabond, both fuses blew. I knew the disclaimer up front about using it with other brands of lights, and just chalked it up to an incompatibility issue. I assumed that once my Einsteins arrived, everything would be fine. Last week when I went to plug the Vagabond in for a regular charge I had to replace the fuses. Unfortunately, the new fuses blew as soon as turned the Vagabond on. It was not plugged into power when the fuses blew. Anyone had a similar experience? Is there anything that I can check here? Does it simply need to go back to PCB for repair? Thanks for any help you can offer. Gordon |

If the unit is blowing fuses at that rate, it should come back in for repair. |

I'm filling out the repair form. Where do I find the serial number for the vagabond 2? Gordon |

It is on the inverter itself on the orange bezel. It is a white sticker that says "Vagabond II" then teh serial number is just below. |
