Thats not what I was telling you, please read my post again.nope, tried to unplug dip switch board then power on, not a single thing different then before.
you mean removing the ilda cable, not the cable to the dips switch itself.
with my setup the dmx/ilda controller board only works standalone if no ilda cable is attached, for borgquen, who doesn't have a dac yet, he also doesn't have an ilda cable attached and normally the dip-swith should be set to play a show by itself.
i think he is mistaken in the order of the dipswitch but he states that he tried different combinations, i would make sure to check the manual for it.
troubleshooting tips:
1 check power cable or switch for a different one
2 check power switch
3 check fuse
4 use multimeter to verify 220 volt ac is present
5 check output of power supply, should be +/- 24 and +/- 15 V or something like that
6 check wires to the drivers and to the lasers
7 verify dip switch is set correctly
8 in a dark environment, hold a paper in front of the diodes to see if any light is emitted
just a few thoughts

What I said was that if we know with some certainty that unplugging the dipswitches will cause it to go into standalone mode, and we know that it doesn't when you DO unplug it - then the next place to be looking is at the DMX board itself - does it have power? Are all the IC's seated properly? Are all the connectors fully home?
Also check all of the ouputs from this board that go to the driver board
Borgqueen, you have had soo much bad luck with this projector.
I'm not going to buy another ebay chinese projector again myself - fixing my posiedon then keeping it as a home play projector.
as posted at LPF (I'm vk2fro over there), I've decided to build my own (with DT40Wides no less!)
The mess of wires inside my posiedon make it a pain to troubleshoot, i found the keyswitch wire had detached. *panic panic all the lasers arent working!* followed by *phew - keyswitch disconnected*.
This was after I had reseated the original red laser to do practice alignment for when I get the new one for it.
Hope you get yours working. Wish I had a spare dmx board you could have - that could be the sacrifice for that b**th CASA projector
