Cor4eyh Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hey guys got this little gem from BicycleBill about 4 or 5 months ago and for some dang reason the little LED window to control the lights has gone out :( Wondering if theres anyone who can fix it? Or i guess anyone who'd want to buy it for say 150? lol works great has remote and everything just cant see what % the lights are at! Anyways let me know what ya'll think! If i can sell it I'd be getting a Kessil a360we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm sure Bo at Ocean revive can help you out, i'm pretty sure these are his units. In the meantime consider taking it apart (if you feel comfortable enough to remove the cover) and clean it out, check for loose plugs, unplug the controller board for the lcd, push some buttons and such to dis-charge any capacitors still holding a charge to maybe try to reset the unit, just grasping at straws here to keep you busy to troubleshoot it Worst case scenario is the lcd/controller is shot, still an easy fix Good luck bud!

Bicyclebill Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Bummer! Yes, Bo has this stuff stacked up in his garage and could easily get you the right parts for easy replacement. It might actually still be under warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Did you try turning it off and on again? Kicking it? How about singing it a song? Yeah, my first instinct would be to yell at bill and tell him he sold me a lemon..... but mostly just because it's bill and I love defying him - even though he's the most agreeable person in the world. Give Bo a call. He's a super nice guy and i'm sure even if it's not under warranty, he'd be willing to help you out in SOME way. Perhaps this is just a sign you need to upgrade? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssappington Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 the it 2040 has an "LED screen on/off" function... I think it's press and hold the left arrow? (can't remember without my manual in front of me) is it possibly this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanz Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 you know, I was seriously considering the 50 cube pnp that you just set up. How do you like it so far? How's the equipment that came with it working for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor4eyh Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 you know' date=' I was seriously considering the 50 cube pnp that you just set up. How do you like it so far? How's the equipment that came with it working for you?[/quote'] Well honestly it's amazing. I love it. I will have to agree with most cube owners aside from the 93gallons and up that the cabinet is a bit small kinda cramped but if you don't mind cramped it's quite amazing. Sturdy stand, and the return pump is quiet as well as the dkimmer. With the cabinet closed the only thing I hear is an occasional water sound from my durso "only because i drilled the hole bigger" and my jebao wave make you can hear a bit. Rather very quiet to be honest. The tank is very well made black silicone inside and the durso and return lines are great. The only upgrade to the tank I could suggest and am contemplating is they provide vinyl tuning for plumbing and I'm considering a hard plumb with pvc and a couple of extra fixtures for my carbon and Gfo reactor. But everything else is solid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
