Hey guys,

I recently purchased a second hand scarlet MX. With the side handle and red volts it powers on fine but when I mount a v mount on my back plate it starts to act funny. Initially earlier in the day when I first tried the fans would turn on and go for about 10 seconds and then it would go to off. I found a thread here with the same
issue that recommended powering it on with the red volts only then switching. I tried that and it worked perfectly. A few hours later I try the same thing and three things kept happening at different times: 1-sometimes it simply wouldn't turn on (fans go on for a bit and that's it) 2-it would turn on and run smoothly and about 1 minute in my red touch would go black and I couldn't record or do anything but power it off. 3-it would turn on but indicate an unknown source of power. If anyone could help me figure this issue out it would be much appreciated as this is very frustrating.
 
For used cameras you should definitely send them in to RED for evaluation and ownership transfer. Evaluation would ideally be before you commit to buying it. You never know where the cameras been or why the owner is selling it.
