Re: Vectors are shorting out!!!!!!!!!!!!! help!!!!

I know you found your issue, but just a warning to all. When you try to clean a victor by showering it with compressed air, there are a few problems you can now cause. The first is if your using a compressor or pump system, like in a shop. These normally are lubricated for the tools that will hook up to them and i would suggest you not covering electronics in a lubricant. Secondly, when you use high pressure air pointing into the victor to blow out metal chips, many times you will just blow them deeper. This makes you think that you cleared them out and the issue is something else, when in reality they are still there. Lastly is safety. You are using an uncontrollable blast of air to hopefully create tiny projectiles, please if you do this method use proper precautions. So case in point, please take the 5 minutes to remove the fan and use a pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass to remove any debris and save your victors and team from continual issues.
