Thank you Macona
Nice to see some members are still around after 10+ years
I know that video, quite a good one in fact. Technical info on servicing Verdis are scarce on the internet.
Sadly the video does not help much in my case.
I have a couple of Verdis and have played with them a fair bit.
In this case it is a V18 which was working fine then its output dropped to 1W or so from one day to the next (admitting I might have played with some settings in between).
I used the VERDI GUI software in service mode to restore all EEPROM parameters to a date when it was working fine, I manually re-optimized all temperatures and also measured the raw outputs of the two pumping diodes which are fine. Now I am short of ideas of what to test.
So my symptoms are similar to the ones of your friend with his V5, hence my question if you or he recalls what the problem was in the end?
Alternatively if you can put me in touch with one of them that would be much appreciated
