Check for bent, mashed over or missing pins between ribbon cables and boards.Dan BrownFoxfire Energy Corp.Renewable Energy Systems(802)-483-2564www.Foxfire-Energy.com Original Message Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] VFX blinking error codes From: Ray <r...@solarray.com> Date: Thu, January 03, 2019 11:00 pm To: re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Not sure, but maybe the fan wire got damaged during the board replacement? The wires are really tight and delicate. I would think when it ran through its start up check and didn't have fan operation it would mess it up.
