    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=4179">ClownFishAddict</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 63590<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> April&nbsp;10&nbsp;2013 at 10:47am<br /><br />Ok with a mixture of everyones help I took it out and got it working fine. (Fingers Crossed) It appears there was water in the power socket and the controller socket. I took it all apart and examined it for water or burn marks. found a little moisture in there so I dryed it off with a paper towel and blew out the sockets of the led. Cannot find even a drop in there anymore and it seems to be working. <br><br>On another note I took some pictures and am going to do a thread on how to fit an AI Sol into a RSM130D hood. (I keep getting asked how I did it) So look for my Thread in a little bit. <br><br>Thank you everyone for all your help and advice.<br>]]>

So open it rinse it in clean water then use compressed air to blow out any water from the entire fixture. Do not plug it in until you are absolutely sure it is dry.<br><br>They are pretty tough units so as long as it is salt free and dry it will most likely be just fine.<br><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Krazie4Acans - April&nbsp;10&nbsp;2013 at 10:09am</span>]]>
