Trouble-Shooting
"NO
POWER" PROBLEMS
|
|
NOTES:
|
|
1.
|
There are no adjustments to the
robot, so if a faulty or worn part causes the robot
to malfunction, replace that part.
|
|
2.
|
If you are not skilled at soldering,
you should send in your Control Box for service
if soldering is indicated. Control Box parts are
small and easily damaged. Improper soldering may
void your warranty and service policy.
|
|
3.
|
If you open the Control Box, unscrew
only the 4 corner screws. Do not remove the 4 screws
in the middle.

The following solutions will apply
to all models of Newgy Robots, except if marked
with the following footnotes: 1Robo-Pong
1000 only, 2Robo-Pong 2000 only, 9Model
1929 only.

PROBLEM
|
|
1.
|
No robot functions work and Power Switch
on Control Box does not light up when turned on.
|
|
SOLUTIONS
|
|
A.
|
Make
sure transformer is plugged securely into a power outlet.
Verify that there is power in the outlet. Also check to
be sure transformer input (on top of transformer) matches
the electricity type in your area.
|
|
B.
|
Check
that the male terminal of the transformer cord is plugged
securely into the female Power Jack of the Control Box.
|
|
C.
|
If Control
Box has been knocked off the table, a break may have been
created on the circuit board. Inspect and re-solder any
broken connections. Break is usually where the Power Jack
is soldered to the circuit board. See Figure
O 1,2.
|
|
D.
|
Verify
that wires are properly attached to the bottom of the Power
Switch: 1–Red, 2–Brown or White, 3–Black.
(Model 1929 robots should be: 1–Black, 2–Red,
3–Brown or White.)
|
|
E.
|
Power
Switch is bad. Replace.
|
|
F.
|
Fuse
holder mounted to the circuit board is not making good contact
with the fuse. If loose, tighten; if defective, replace.
See Figure O
1,2.
|
|
G.
|
If A,
B, C, D, E, and F check out, the Transformer is probably
defective and needs to be replaced.
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM
|
|
2.
|
No robot functions work and the Power
Switch lights up when turned on.
|
|
SOLUTIONS
|
|
A.
|
Make sure Connector Cable is securely plugged
in.
|
|
B.
|
Check fuse in Control Box. If blown, replace.
See Figure O.1,2
|
|
C.
|
Check for a break where the large capacitor
is attached to the circuit board. Re-solder if necessary.9
See Fig.OOO.
|
|
D.
|
Bridge Rectifier in the Control Box is bad.
See Figure O. Replace.1,2
|
|
E.
|
Wires inside Connector Cable are broken.
See Solution 13E for testing procedure.
