Re: SL-4000E stopped working but still lights up.
I have been playing with my SL-4000E and a single pixel string setup via eithernet.
(Meanwhile, - have been building my showpiece)
I setup using the instructions, - obtained IP address etc - all good.
THEN, Yesterday .... somthing changed........ everything stopped working, - thou red lights are on for Power & SD
The NET light on the controller blinks once when switced on, - then remains blank, - and does not show up in Device manager.
I have tried to reconnect, Force Address etc, - and although DM gives a forced address, nothing shows up, - and the NET light stays fully off.
The network plug on the back of the controller constantly blinks green, and has a orange light on all the time.
My switch shows a cable connected to the plug used.
I have tried different cables
The controller does not auto play from the SD card .... have I got a brick?
The last think I did while it was working was click to 'manual control' so I could individually control my test string of pixels from show creator.
Hope you can advise, I am dying to indoor test my creation, - so I can put up outside soon.
many thanks
Phil
