Author Topic: TA-10 Film presence light on on FM-35, but not on panel. Won't start Brad Allen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 688 From: Evansville, IN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-17-2005 07:15 PM                     Manager used the disable switch on the board to get show up and running. He says he got the alarm when trying to start. Noted film presence light was on on the fm-35, but it was not on on the panel. Checked connections, rethreaded film thru fm-35, no joy. Any suggestions as to where to start looking?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-17-2005 08:10 PM                     check the molex connector on the end of the sensor sometimes the wires have come out of the crimps or the entire assembly has come loose  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

I have seen several where one or more wires had come loose from that IDC connector on the end of the cable.  |  IP: Logged
