    So I guess no one would be interested in knowing about the electrical fire in the control box!
    For several days I've been smelling burnt electronics, along with a malfunctioning Z-Axis!
    Finally this morning the whole shop smoked up, the Z-Axis stopped functioning, and I had to open the garage door which let the cold in
    For several hours, I started dismantling the machine in an attempt to find the source of the problem! When I opened the door on the control box it was obvious the problem was inside!
    With a flashlight, I looked around until I saw a trace of soot on the back panel. Apparently, the G203V controller and the PMDX 134 motherboard were arcing across the DC input pins which melted everything in its path!

    I'm not sure why they were arcing, but I did send both parts to Gechodrive with hopes they could figure it out! All my connectors are good, all the voltages were good too!
