Staff Assigned: Tim ST402ME power rush: circuit board / connection dead?

Dear,

Last month, after a long time ( 2 years or so ), i powered up again my SBIG ST402ME.
But i do not succeed in getting an initialization.

I measured the fault PSU, and it starts with a inrush of 20V DC then going back to 12V DC. Measured with an multimeter. So i think an inrush of high power?

I've tried multiple pc's, windows version, driver checker etc etc:
- the red light goes on
- the filter wheel ticks to it initialization point, also when asking to make connection with camera, but afterwards it hangs itself. I can not get the camera connected to CCOPS. It tries to initialize, ticks hearing, but then it stops, and CCDOPS hangs itself ( or CCDSoft, Maxim, Prism, etc.... )

I asume a pcb board fault? What are my options? I live in Belgium, so considering customs etc
Thank you very much.

 

Dear Tim,

Thank you for your time and help. Yes i do see it in Device manager:



I hooked it up directly to the USB port of the computer. I updated driver checker to the latest files, but nothing helps.

 

The warning messages are not related to the SBIG camera. They also appear when the camera is disconnected.
Here is the drivers list, the 64 Bit version gave me the same result:


The SBIG driver checker 64


With the 64 bit driver, i get an error in device manager: The device cannot start ( code 10)

 

Jep, i tried every driver in that list. Nothing works unfortunatly. I really think some kind of fault on the board due to a power injection?

 

The reason also why i think it has got something to do with high power injection of the fault PSU is the following:

I had several laptops collected through the years, where on al those laptop the SBIG ST402ME worked. XP, VIsta, WIndows 7 etc.
And now with the error i also tried it on those laptops as well, and none of them seem to work neither, as it definitely was before.
