| Post subject: | Vega mini won't power on with fuse inserted |
Hi, First I love my vega mini and it has been faithful for almost a year. I was on a shoot yesterday and in the middle of the first session it powered off. I thought it might have overheated but in the process of my fault finding I noticed that if I removed the fuse it would power on no problem ( although the internal fan doesn't come on...not sure if it's supposed to) but once the fuse is in it will power up for less than a second and then shuts off. Any help would be appreciated I have a huge shoot coming up next week |

By "power on" do you mean the fuel gauge lights come on, or do you also get a light by the USB port? The fuel gauge lights bypass the fuse, but if the fuse as in place, and a short or other fault was present, this could shut the whole system down. |

Ok, then the battery is just showing its charge status, and not really "turning on". When the fuse is installed, this activates the inverter, which appears to have a fault, and the whole thing shuts down. If the unit is less than a year old, we can repair it under warranty. I would recommend contacting our repair department directly to establish how to best have this unit repaired. 1-800-443-5542 Repair@paulcbuff.com |
