Ireilly24 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Hi all, after moving house I have decided to reinstall my powermax plus system. The control panel battery went flat whilst installing some bits, when I connected the power supply I got a clicking sound and 8 black blank boxes on the screen. The control panel will now do nothing's does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjsturner Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Throw the battery away and replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireilly24 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 But it does not work via the ad adapter either? Does it need a working battery connected before the ac adapter works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireilly24 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ok so as the battery is no good will this stop the mains power supply from powering the unit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Ok so as the battery is no good will this stop the mains power supply from powering the unit? Â It should operate with no battery but will be in "trouble". Â Have you tried switching it off and on again? Can you test the battery? Can you test the power supply? Can you factory reset the unit and reprogram? Â If no to the above you will need an engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireilly24 Posted September 7, 2013 Author Share Posted September 7, 2013 Basically it was all working on the battery untill it went flat. I then plugged in the ac adapter and it this point it all went wrong. It made a strange clicking sound and now displays blank boxes on the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
