Re: Grey Jaguar No Power Out
My team was having this exact same problem, thanks for all the possible problems to try. We ended up getting another Jag anyway, but if we can fix our broken one then at least we have a backup.
I know we've unscrewed the terminal screws several times, so we could have shavings. I don't think it's the program or jumpers, I've checked those, and I think I would have noticed if the current sense circuit was unsoldered when we opened the Jag. I saw something in the Jag manual about calibrating the PWM signal, so I might try that. It could also be one of the MOSFETs. Anyone know a way of testing if any are blown and/or how to replace a broken one?
