MSF5000 test light stays lit

Post by elcompgw »

I have an MSF5000 that went through a lightning strike. I was told that the user restarted the repeater and it worked for about 1 day, then went out again. Power seems to be okay and all fuses are fine. However, when I turn on the repeater, the test light goes on steady right away and that is as far I can get. Is this condition caused by a bad board? I looked through my limited MSF 5000 materials, but none of the troubleshooting sections address the "test light on steady" problem.

We're going to need a bit more information
What's the model number
You refer to a test light, I'm curious what your refering to...Is it on the main command tray or a secondary expansion tray.
Unfortunately not all MSF's are created equal

May the Schwarz be with you.

Replace the power supply filter capacitors on the (S)SCB. This will fix the problem. Yes, it's that simple.
