Thread: Dum

Lol reminds me of the golden rule when I worked in the computer industry.... Step 1, is it plugged in
Mind you that was back in the days of Windows 3.1 which came on 4 X 3.5 inch floppy disks, so things might be different now

Decided motor was stuffed, replaced motor, test run ok, refit gearbox, test run ok again.
Refit motor and gearbox to conveyor, test run....nothing. F#(k it all.
Gave it a push to get it running, proceed to check amps on wiring and one of the cables falls out of the terminal.
2.5 hours to fix a 10 minute problem.
