[help] herpstat not turning on

[Slither Seeker]

I just put together my new Herpstat 2, almost went with the intro + but the local destributor was out. I recalled it having a fuse so I looked it up. the intro + has a Resettable fuse: http://www.spyderrobotics.com/manual...tro_manual.pdf . here's a basic trouble shoot off the web site: http://www.spyderrobotics.com/index....d=10&chapter=1. here's a youtube on how to reset the fuse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUPfD3BqsI4

its most likely the fuse, chances are it was a defective one and the jump in power when you plugged it in popped it. if there is NOTHING on the screen at all it has to be a fuse or something more serious inside the unit itself. I'd email spyderrobotics, let them know what happened and I'd bet they send you a free fuse replacement to try first.

Is there a fuse on the unit itself?

i honestly have no idea. i would have to take it apart, but idk if i want to do that.

do you or anyone around you have a receptacle tester? Little device you touch outlets with to see if they have power? I'd plug the tstat in and test the receptacles on the back of it to see if they have power. If they don't theres no trouble shooting you need to get ahold of spyder lol.

use the contact us link: http://www.spyderrobotics.com/index....age=contact_us. the owner got right back to me within an hour of sending him an email through the link, a very nice and helpful dude!

contacted them, got a quick response, and culprit identified. question: who would sell these? only fuses i have right now are too small or just too big.

Home Depot, Lowe's, or Walmart may have them. Be sure to get the 5x20mm 3.15 Amp Fast Acting Fuse.
