What up growmies.
So Im still waiting on my replacement light from ac and this whole process has made me decide to cut electronic ac infinity products in the future. They are no longer responding to emails and the replacement is suppose to be delivered tomorrow via ups ground. Ups has not recieved the package yet, as of 10 minutes ago checking the tracking number. Just a fair warning, if you go with ac infinity and something fails, they do not really care what it costs the customer to have their product fail on you, even though they KNOW what you're most likely using it for. Disappointing as I really liked how their stuff performed for me.
The old light board is unfixable. Got the driver caps off over the weekend and there is a solid 1" thick rubber block on each side of the driver that is glued in place, tried using a heat gun to soften whatever glue they used but that did not help. So I chipped apart the rubber blocks and it was a fuse that blew out. Now that I ruined those blocks the electronics are exposed to the environment and it will only be a matter of time before the driver shorts in a high humidity environment. Im gonna look into trying to get just a new driver, I saved the board so hopefully with a bit of soldering and ingenuity I can have another 400w board as a back up whenever ac decides to ship my replacement.
Sorry for the long post but I figured for anyone looking at going ac infinity in the future it might be worth knowing that getting them to replace something is like pulling teeth.
