no power to V3 w/ ec90 6v

[hzgone]

I'm not getting any power to my v3 through a ec90 using 6v power.  Was going to use my v3 tomorrow night but might not any more anyone have any suggestions

[hzgone]

i'm using the one that came with it, or i should say the one that marc gave me when he sold it to me

might be a 12v cable, check to see which pins the wires are soldered to.

checked the cable and it's a 6v

deja vu...

The battery and the cable did not come with the unit.  To tell you the truth i haven't touched it since i bought it till now.  Haven't had any shows to go to  i pused the pins out in the switchcraft a little bit more and it made no diffrence

i'm pretty sure you're having the same problem i had a few months ago.  you bought it from someone using it with a normal 6v battery.  the ec-90 has a regulator circuit to drop one output down to 6v.  so the xlr end of your power cable has to be wired to engage the circuit by bridging pins 2&4, then pin 1 is negative and pin 3 is positive.  you're gonna have to re-solder the xlr end of your power cable.  it's a pain in the ass, but it's a great battery.

damn that sucks, how do i go about bridging pins 2&4

[dmonterisi]

do you know how to solder?  if not, i think you can send it to eco-charge and it will take them 10 minutes to do.

[hzgone]

i can give it a shot but i don't think i will have it ready for tomorrow night.  can you explain what i have to do.  That might help me see what is going on a little better

[dmonterisi]

you're gonna need a soldering iron, solder, desoldering braid and a multimeter.  do you have that?

[hzgone]

nope, won't be able to do this.  Need to figure out what i'm going to do

call up your local electronics shop, tell them you are in a bind and see if they have somone who can help you out.. not a ratshack, a mom and pop shop
