BZ V2000 no image or neck glow

He can, but that doesn't necessarily explain why he had problems in his cab.

This is a good example of why you want to root cause problems, and not just shotgun something 'until it works', and then make up some story about why it broke (which will eventually spread to other people, creating misinformation).

There's a root cause of why there were problems in this cab. I want to know exactly what it is, down to something I can measure.
I mean if it's making the problem worse, wouldn't you just remove it from the equation?

we have mostly G05s in the vectors at work, but that Omega Race I've told you about has V2000. since going back to 3716/3792s it seems to be holding up now. could the 3886/3884s it had have been the reason it just somehow bypassed the fast blow deflection fuses and went to wiping the line fuse out? cause that seriously makes zero sense to me.

It shouldn't be causing a problem to begin with.

If it is, then it means there's either something wrong with the VP, or there's something else wrong elsewhere in the cab (e.g., incorrect wiring), that the VP is interacting with and causing a problem, even if the VP itself is ok. Just because a problem appears when you add the VP (and goes away when you remove it), that doesn't necessarily mean the VP itself is at fault.

The point is to analyze the system, make measurements, and figure out what the actual root cause of the problem is, and not just fiddle with it and try random things until it works, then walk away.

If the frame transistors pump too much current through the yoke for any reason (i.e., they fail, or something behind them fails and rails them), the yoke fuses (F600/700) willl blow.

If the frame transistors fail in a way that shorts the B+ or B- to ground (e.g., if there's a bad mica, shorting the transistor the the frame), or a failure shorts B+ and B- together (shorting collector and emitter together inside the transistor), they will blow the main power supply fuses F100/101.

B+ and B- are basically the 'power supplies' to the frame transistors, and the yoke current is the output.
 
I'll take a second look at both bricks that went out. I certainly won't rule out any possibility. All I know right now is the VP in circuit is causing a problem. Thats not to say the stock set up isn't working at peak performance but I have another brick in there without the VP and its running fine. By no means do I know more than Arcade Jason and I know he puts a lot of thought into his products and the community appreciates that. I'll reply back with what I find.
whatever you find you are still owed a working vector protector or a refund. let me know what you want to do. it could be possible that just looking at the vector collector the wrong way could have made it angry and it decided to loosen a pin.
