After realizing that wall-e was being neglected I decided to pull him out. I realized that I had an alternative battery so I unscrewed the battery pack from the adapter and screwed in the new pack. I plugged it in and...
It didn't turn on...
I played with the wiring.
Nothing...
I switched back to the original pack.
Still nothing.
I thought it might be an adapter problem. So I took my dads multi meter and discovered...
I don't know how to use a multi meter.
I turned the multimeter off and then inserted the probes into the jack on the adapter and found arcing. It was making sparks as current travelled through the multimeter.
This tells me that the adapter is getting current. So now I'm wondering that maybe my ez-b is pooched? Its not getting hot and nothing is abnormal on the board, so im left wondering.
How to perform a test to see the problem?
How to use a multimeter.
EDIT: I did the first part of the ez-b diagnostic check and it checked out. Now i'm at the part where it should plug in and flash the lights and it doesn't.
Part 2 shows that theres .01-.03v going through the ez-b. It sits at 0 when not touching.
It doesn't read anything when I do what you said; is this good?
Which part of what I said?
It's good in a way if it isn't reading continuity of the fuse as it means the fuse has blown, which is why it's not working.
Just to confirm, you removed the fuse from it's carrier You put the meter on an ohm setting You connected one probe to one side of the fuse (not the carrier) You connected the other probe to the other side of the fuse (again, not the carrier) You received no continuity reading on the multimeter?
Sorry, im mistaked. The I did the test on the fuse plugs. well I tested the fuse and got a 0.4 reading.
The fuse has blown.
Replace the fuse. I believe it's a 5A fuse, should be able to pick them up at any decent electronics stockist (radioshack etc)
Repeat: Sorry, im mistaken. I did the test on the fuse plugs. Well I tested the fuse and got a 0.4 reading.
Deleted. It's not relevant if the fuse isn't blown.
Have you tried removing the IC and refitting it? It may have come loose, @mel had a similar problem and refitting the IC helped solve some of the issues.
Ok so its not the fuse?
No, the fuse is fine if you get 0.4 ohms when testing it.
