Hello,
I haven't had any luck on the phone and can't send the brain in, so I figured I would post here and see if the symptoms sounds familiar to anyone.
Issue started on set with an unresponsive/glitched LCD with the following setup:
RED Weapon (originally Epic-W)
Base Expander
WC Easy Top (still battery operated)
WC V-Mount Plate
V-Mount battery + AC Power
WC PL
My AC powered down the body and when attempting to power up, the fans started, orange light went on, then after 6 seconds the fans and light stopped. I repeated the process multiple times, hard reset the body (20 sec hold) and started removing all accessories. I managed to find a MONSTRO kit nearby (NYC) and kept on shooting. Later in the day I installed the V-Mount plate bypassing the base expander (hadn't taken off the base expander before) and the body turned on! Great news, it's the base expander and not the brain.
COVID happened, I shot a few personal things around the house over the next few weeks, booting at least 10 times with the V-Mount, no base expander. One night I'm shooting in the streets, same WC accessories but no Base Expander and the LCD starts glitching a bit, but I assume it is the LCD contacts or the cord connection. Eventually it freezes (has never frozen once until this new issue) so I restart it and of course it gives me 6 seconds of orange light and fans, but gives up.
I've gone through the details of this in my head countless times, but can't figure out why the problem is intermittent. I've tried every possible combination of accessories, hard reset, power source, and haven't had any luck 2 weeks later.
Any advice or questions would be greatly appreciated to get me back up and running.
Thank you! :)
