I have an ice-101 that doesnt' seem to do anything. When you hit the power switch it clicks on but does nothing after that, remote is plugged in and the red light comes on but nothing else functions, let it sit and it never goes green, doesn't seem to heat up, doesn't pump water out, doesn't pump fluid... is there a way to diagnose the problem? Is there a way to use a volt meter to test for where the problem is? The manual is not very helpful with fixing issues. Any help would be great. Thanks.

with the unit unpluged remove side panel(it standing behind the remote/left side panel) inspect the PCB for any signs of damage to the PCB first.

Does the green light on the remote turn on after about 5 minutes? Does the unit function w/ DMX? If the unit function with DMX than you have a bad remote. If the unit does not function with DMX or the remote, than the problem is internal.

First off thanks for the help so far...

I bought it used and i'm not using a dmx setup, just the remote... would that matter? i was under the impression it should still work without the dmx and just with the remote.

What is the pcb? i assume it's the computer board? I took off the side panels but doesn't look like i can access the computer board just the switches and pump. I talked to a guy who had a similar problem with a different fog machine and he said it was a fuse issue with his... think that could be the problem?

So i found my problem...



yeah, that part is FRIED!!

Sucks.

Mine is not working. I have power, but there is no responce from the controller, not even the green or red lights are on. Also I am not sure if the dmx is correct. Can you give me a short crash course to make sure I did it right? Thanks!

Send me your info to service at elationlighting . Com I will have our fog tech call you with some pointers.

parting mine out. Let me know if you need ice-101 parts except the board that is fried.

Did you contact sales or service to see about getting replacement parts? I'd be concerned as to what caused such a massive failure in the first place.
