Quark fried, blown capacitor...

[zeropointbug]

Sweet

And on a not so sweet note... I wired up my new Quark, all ready to go. To my most annoyed surprise, it COGS, cogs like MAD! I am totally confused, I have a large 10,000uF 25v cap (temporary). It will only start spinning when I give it about 50% throttle or above, even then, the motor sounds like it is not running right.

When I turn the Quark on, it does it's CHIME start-up, but it's very quiet, not near as loud as it was before my last one quite.

My gut feels so bad right now, waiting so long for something that I paid a lot for, and for it to do be another 'piece'.

S&T, what is going on? :032:

WELL , LA De DA! Just my luck!

QUARK FRIED AGAIN!

The thing turned into a FOG machine, there was smoke poring out of it and laying along my table.

I seriously don't want to wait another month, only to have another Quark blow up. :018: See that face, that's not a happy face! :036:

Man, that's what happened to my second 33A. Doing full throttle run, let up and it stopped with white smoke pouring out of the controller. Heatsink was HOT. My first controller was good except the programming button broke off and I can't fix it with the non removable plastic case they use.

Hopefully the replacement, 3rd controller, will last.
