with solutions.

wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices
pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected
to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs
and outputs are connected.

First unplug the power. Locate and remove the unit’s power cord.
Once the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located
inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power
socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and
replace with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a
spare fuse be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.
