Galaxy 8 Problem


TheGovernor

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Was having my birthday breakfast this morning when suddenly without warning the internal bleeper started going off on my Galaxy 8.

I typed my unset code in but nothing happened, eventually I pressed escape and it stopped.

Now I have a rapidly flashing LED and asterisks' flashing across the screen.

It won't respond to any keypresses (except to beep at me) my set/unset code doesn't work, interestingly neither does the engineer code.

Just wondered if anyone could offer some advice? :unsure:

Sounds like a data problem you will need to call an engineer. I would leave it untill tomorrow though and enjoy your birthday.

how did you get on with the part set issue?

did you get a manual?

have you serviced the system or had back up batteries changed?

Hi Chorlton,

I got the part set issue sorted, once I had the engineer code and a little bit of guidance I was away.

I replaced the battery about 2 months ago as I was getting the flashing LED signifying battery failure and it's been fine since, so this mornings event was quite unexpected!

A line of *********s on the RKP = No Communication on A B Line, possibly faulty PCB

Last time I had that problem it was a new Control panel PCB, someone had been 'playing' inside the control panel!

Someone told me I was ignorant and apathetic, I don't know what that means, nor do I care.

Well in the meantime out of desperation (and the need to retain my hearing!) I went in the loft and disconnected the mains and the battery in the panel which then made the alarm on the front of the house start going off!

When I then reconnected the power and battery it stopped and I was able to log in as the Engineer and it's all back to normal again.

But I guess I need to take this as a warning, I need to try and suss out either what caused it in the first place, or find a way to disable it compleltely while I diagnose it as I won't be popular withthe neighbours otherwise if it goes at night.

I've got a Programming manaul so it looks like my birthday is now trying to pick out the settings I need to stop it tripping out all the time! :(
