Help! My 200DX went nuts!
Like the title says something is wrong.
Powered up, fan is on readout showed a "1" to the left side of the display.
Powered down, powered up again and the display is randomly flashing numbers
from 0 -300+ Depress foot pedal, gas solenoid opens, crackling noise inside and no
power output.
First real fail in 3 years of faithful service.
I figure it needs to go in for warranty service so what do I need to do?
Would posting the S/N here help?
Thanks in Advance

Call tech support tomorrow when they're open. They will diagnose it and tell you if it needs to go for repair.

I called and spoke to Ray. He gave me an RA.
Filled out the form and tomorrow I've got to pick up a suitable box
and send it off to the repair gods!

I've got to say that Ray seems like he's on top of things.
You feel a lot more at ease when they answer your emails promptly
and know the answers to your questions. Dealing with warranty repairs
is stressful simply because it's something that the consumer isn't use to.

I got a call today from Everlast. My machine is fixed and will be on it's way back to me shortly.
Most times people only post when something goes wrong. Fixed in 30 days? That's a done right
if I've ever seen one. Thanks Ray, Thanks Oleg!

Yeah,
Nice, reasonable outcome. Thanks for letting us all know how it went. And I'll bet the unit performs well for longer than another few years now.
Peace,

Sure hope my machine ships out tomorrow.
I hope it was just the holidays that caused the delay.
Getting itchy to get my old friend back!

Well guys, it acted up again. display all over the place, HF arc but no DC. Re-booted a few times, no change.
Finally just let it sit there on and fan running for 15 minutes or so and the display settled down and the DC came back on.
I'm thinking it may be a moisture issue as both failures occurred when it was heavy rains and wet weather. Shop is dry
but no heat. It's been dry for a few days and now the display is fine with zero fluctuations.
I shot an email off to Oleg. Maybe he can get Ray to look into the moisture angle????
If y'all are having similar issues maybe this can help you too.
