How to Repair a PS3 with blinking lights

Dec 19, 2011 by Paul White

Recently my PS3 stopped working.  After searching around, I found that the problem was due to bad solder connections between the GPU and the Board.  This would cause it to flash red and or yellow lights when you hit the power button.  It would not boot up.  Some people use a hair dryer to remelt their chips into the board, but this is only a temporary fix if you are lucky.  I wanted to fix it for good, so I sent my PS3 off to SpitFireMods for repair.  The purpose of this article is to share some experiences with other PS3 owners who are considering having their PS3 repaired.

Upgrading the fan in your DMX Intelligent Lighting Fixtures

Jan 28, 2011 by Paul White

The title should be pretty self explanatory.  We have 16 Mighty Scan fixtures.  These fixtures have the fans mounted on the outside of the body. which makes changing them very easy.  After some observations I concluded that the stock OEM fans are crap.  So I decided to upgrade the fan to something with a little more beef.

Venue Scan 250 vs American DJ Scan 250EX

Jan 5, 2011 by Paul White

Recently I bought 2 pairs of Fixtures for my client.  Let me just start by saying that when it comes to low cost DMX controlled Moving Mirror Scanners, no two fixtures are alike.  Each Fixture has its own set of strengths and weaknesses.  What is important is to find the fixture that best suites your needs.

IColor Accents at Hush Night Club

Jan 5, 2011 by Paul White

When discussing the light and sound setup at Hush NightClub with Dan Deschamps, I was kind of shocked to hear the millions they spent on Lighting.  After some research its easy to see where a lot of this money went.  IColor Accents.  They had several hundred of these mounted on a truss.  To put this into perspective the retail on these is around $482 per 2 foot segiment.  Keep in mind Hush was built back in 2004, and these probably cost even more back then.

upgrading Mighty Scan Intelligent Lighting to LED Bulbs

Dec 2, 2010 by Paul White

One of the more recent ongoing projects I have been working on is overhauling the Ritz Cabaret's Light Show.  This includes moving fixtures, finding and buying used fixtures off ebay, replacing bulbs, and programming everything to sync together with Martin Light Jockey.  However when you have 30 Intelligent Lighting fixtures that all take a 250 watt halogen bulb, you quickly do the math and realized that the Ritz Cabaret is spending a small fortune all to ensure its dancers look good on stage.  My goal was to upgrade all our fixtures to LED bulbs.  This is my story.
