UPBv2 Suddenly went Dark

Post by jimc8ngt »

Only thing I know I did was replace Focuser Control Cable #1 (PEG-CMOT-RJ45DB9 to an old Robofocus) with Focuser Control Cable #2 (PEG-CMOT-HSM to a new Starlight HSM). Things seemed to be working, and then, poof (after a reboot of my laptop, I think), none of the USB peripherals are getting power/signal and none of the power outputs seem to be working and I can't connect to the UPBv2 from my laptop via USB (direct known-to-be-good USB 3.0 cable). It's like it's in a coma. Or worse.

Any thoughts? Is there a fuse that might have blown inside the device? I believe (but am not positive) that my power supply is working. (It's the one made by Pegasus.) Other than checking the P/S output with a voltmeter, anything else to try?

Is there a paper-clip-hole to reset to factory defaults or something else to try?

Ok, this is really embarrassing. The XT60 adapter cable had become completely detached from the stock power supply's connector. When I re-attached it, everything worked perfectly. Nothing to see here. :) (That connection is buried in an opaque sheath of cables, so I completely forgot it existed.)
