Earmuffs Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 On a job using a 633 and about a minute after I hot swapped an NP1 it fizzled a bit and let out some smoke on the left side by XLR inputs 2 and 3, smelled like metal and plastic. I pulled the NP1 since that's the last thing that changed, it still runs on the internal and external batts. I recommended to the owner to send it in for a check. Anyone see this happen? -Mike M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Spaeth Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I just got my Nomad back from a check at the mothership after the same thing happened to me (swapping AAs). Apparently I was lucky and all is good. Have it checked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Hirtenstein Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Christian wasn't that after putting alkalines in you nomad? That's like putting diesel in a regular car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're obviously a guy with a wealth of useful knowledge, doesn't it make sense to just try being constructive once in a while? -Mike M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 1) I would definitely send it in for a check, can't hurt to call too but I don't see them saying "yeah, no worries" 2) off the top of my head, maybe a voltage regulator (protection circuit?) went up? It's hard to hot swap an NP1 and reverse polarity. Maybe the current external power is ok, but knowing some NP1s can be high voltage right off the charger, I would have it checked instead of risking something causing more serious (expensive) damage.

studiomprd Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) earmuffs: " the point is to find out of anyone has their 633 go up in smoke and details if so " why ? if yours has gone up in smoke, it needs to be checked, at the minimum... Perhaps there was operator error, but CRAP happens. David: " Haven't had that happen . . Sounds bad. Where's there smoke there fire. Theres a short circuit there somewhere. " earmuffs: " the point is to find out of anyone has their 633 go up in smoke and details if so, that's it. " you're right, David and Mike are more helpful in that regard. OK, try this one: This morning my car's computer screen is flickering, and not just a little bit, but major flickering; anyone had this happen ??

Max Hirtenstein Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Sorry Christian I read that someone did this recently, guess it wasn't you. I think the senator has a point, if smoke is coming out of your recorder I don't think anyone here can help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Spaeth Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well, we did offer some good advice, didn't we? Summing up: If smoke comes out of your recorder, have it professionally checked to prevent future uncertainties and possible failure.

George Flores Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Something similar happened to an early 664 I purchased, although I was engaging AES Power and the unit shut down completely. I was told that the there was a grounding problem with the chassis on the inside of the unit. It was fully replaced. I would have the owner talk in detail to Von or Jesse @ SD.
