Hi to all.
Firstly I have to beg all of you to forgive me if I am going to write so... brutal way...
I'm Steve from Italy. I'm 50 y.o. , but I go crazy for lasers since I was a kid...
I have a very strange problem with my CS-200 Green ILDA/DMX 20kpps max.
Before of all I have to tell that I tested everything lots and lots of times, without to find anything strange or any defect. I also sent back device to the seller: his technical team have tested it, without find any defect. For them also device is O.K.
Well... this is a long and unbelievable story.
Usually I test my laser units (I have 6 lasers) into my garage (car box). Obviously electrical power is the same that I have at home... as we all have!
All remains ILDA laser units (PRO-400RGY and RS-800RGY) are working perfectly whith the same laptop or desktop PC, the same software and at the same place (garage or home).
When I try to use CS-200G, playing some ILDA figure (with Showeditor 2007) using my laptop , pictures come out distorted, as you can see in picture I attached here (it should be a green perfect square...).
Defect is always the same, in the same corner and it has the same direction for all pictures I try to play.
If I switch the device off, move it to home and after 2-3 hours I try again.... It works!!! Damn! This is driving me crazy!
Wait....please,you wait... story don't finish here...
In my room I have another PC, a desktop. (same O.S. - WinXP-Pro).
If I try to use the device connecting it to desktop PC, even if I am at home (not in garage), laser has the same defect.
And now... the great last!!!.
If I disconnect device from desktop and I wait the usual time (2-3 hours) and I connect the device once more time to my laptop .... It return to works fine!
Unbelievable, don't you think?
As I told, I alredy checked all connections outside and inside unit. Everything seems to be regular. I also thought at one "false-contact", so I verified all connectors, well pushing them each other. Nothing of nothing.
Unit can work by DMX also (there are 2 switches at rear of device). Switches are O.K. and laser has always worked well by DMX and it is yet working well. This damned CS-200 green wants to work by ILDA in "random" way!!! Sometimes yes, sometimes (most times) no, even if I connect it to laptop.
Can somebody tell me something helpful?
I am going to become totally crazy for this damn problem. Really... You have to be sure, Mates!.
Excuse me for my ugly english (I don't use any translator), for my little confused sentences and for some vulgarity I wrote.... But I am too much angry with myself.
Thanks a lot in advance for who can help me.
Cheers from Italy.
Steve
