I worked all day yesterday in the heat. When we packed up, The LS T-3 combo were downloading, while we packed up. They were sitting beside each other in the truck. When I pressed the POWER button on the T-3, I must NOT have held it down for long enough. It went into the padded case, with the power on.
When I got home, it was pretty hot. I brought it into an air conditioned environment. It would NOT turn on. Until I hooked it to power, then it would.
It seems that there is a safety feature, in the T-3, that if it gets hot enough, it burns out a "fuse" or diode. I am guessing that my fuse, or diode has burnt, and will need a new one.
I texted Shawn Billings, and he advised an RMA.
Anyway, my favored solution would be to send me a new fuse, or diode, or battery pack. I'm handy with a soldiering gun, and such. I have fixed alot of things.
Second, would be send it in, but this brings up, turn around time. How much turn around time?
Third, if turn around is slow, how much to rent another T-3?
Forth, is mine still under warranty, and is overheat covered? I know I was overheated too!
I cannot use a T-2, as my LS has been upgraded to a PLUS, and the PLUS units don't work well with the T2, according to other information, that I think is accurate.
I suspect I can use an EXTERNAL power supply, on this T-3, for a while, if need be, but I have not yet confirmed this, in practice. But, I plan to do that today.
Please advise?
Serial number is T-3 00254 Its about 6-8 months old.
Thank you,
Nate
