I have replaced the power cord and the fuse with known good versions and the power will not come online. Ideas?

On another unrelated note, I had a CST start rapidly firing my strobes yesterday in a freaky fast way that causes me to kill the power to all strobes before damage occurred. Have not seen this before, any ideas? The broken Einstein above was already dead before this happens, so it is unrelated but concerns me about possible damage to the operational units if it were to occur again for a prolonged period.

On a positive note I have LOVED the Einsteins and the Cyber Commander combination. Just encountered these issues last evening and wanted to get some ideas on remedy.

The rapid firing is likely from a bad battery. If you press the test button, and the LED does not blink or blinks rapidly, you have a dead or dying battery, and the most likely cause.

As for Einstein, if you have a CSXCV installed remove it and see if the light will come on.
