X-Mag Power Problem

[Willie Fattballz]

I need some help.

I was trying to connect the warp/intellifeed hook up to my X last night and I may have inadvertantly fried my board. There were two open jumpers on my board and I connected it to the top most jumper connected the power and then there was a chrip and a shake on the warp, then a small pop. I looked down at my board and on one of the solders there was bare wire and carbon....

What did I do wrong?

Here's the picture

You're not supposed to mess with any jumpers in the gun. The Jumpers that you play around with are on the Warp.

The only thing you do inside the gun is hook the wire up. That's it.

[bsolomon]

When he says jumpers, I think he is really refering to the little plastic connection sockets on the board. If I remember correctly, you need to attach the warp cable to the lower one (middle of the board), not the upper one (top of the board near the body). I might be mistaken, but I thought the upper connector is the one they use to plug in to flash the eprom.

Yea, I did the same thing put fortunetly just put the warp harness in for a split second. It's definetly the lower one.

That top output was suppose to be used for the 18V output to the solenoid. That will fry a Warp instantly.

You need to explain your problem better. Is there something on your X-Mag board that looks fried, or just on the Warp board? Warp boards are cheap. X-Mag boards are not.

Board - Mag Board

I think I fried my Mag board... the gun will not boot up and I can't get any response out of it.

I've got some more pics.

I plugged the white "connector" into the upper left most socket (sorry if I refered to it as a jumper) and the connected the power supply. That's when the poop got deep.

Inside the box is what I thought was fried, looked rather bare for a solder spot and carbonish residue

Yeah, the top connector will fry you up good Think link a MSCSE and try to remove the battery completely and reattach it. Cross your fingers also and click your heels three times while attempting to turn you X back on.

LOL, sorry to hear that man..Would that be under warranty?

How much is a new board?

[BlackVCG]

Send it back to AGD.

[snakestang]

Yes send it to AGD. The top port is for loading data to the eeprom if I am correct. Just give them a call and get an RA #. Sorry about your down time.

RA #

Calling tomrrow to get my RA and number and ship this baby in....

now the dilemma X Valve or no X Valve.

well, thank god i found this thread. im about to connect my warp to my X, I was about to clip it from the top not the middle

sorry for the thread resurrection but the search did help instead of making a new "old" problem thread.

I have not been on this site for a while! Glad you looked before you fried your board. And, thanks for the blast from the past. I wonder how my old X-Mag is doing?? Chuck (Willie)??
