CJGillum Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I just got another Z1 of my dude, I hook it up and its not working. When it first comes on its in protect (Like Soft Turn On) But then turns off completely. Its still drawing power and gets extremely hot? I talked to my friend, and without looking at it he said it sounds like something is wired backward. Help please? I might be able to get some gut pics. I took to the top off and theres no burns or anytihng but i dont know much about the insides. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
