Symptoms
Smartfade console is shutting down when the power cable is wiggled or moved
Explanation of Issue
Either the cable for the power supply has an intermittent connection, or the power jack on the console itself may be damaged
Fix/Solution
- If another DC power supply is available, swap out the DC power supply in an attempt to rule out the original power supply
- If the console continues to shut down randomly, check the power jack. If the power plug feels like it is wiggling around too much in the power jack, the bottom contact in the power jack may be bent down, resulting in a poor connection with the power plug. If this is the case, please contact your preferred ETC dealer or ETC Technical Services to set up a repair
