jc_anderton Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Hi all Just bought a used FBV MKII for use with my HD147, when I connect it up using the CAT-5 Cable none of the LED's light up, the A B C D buttons work but there are no LED's and th tuner doesnt work either, the display shows "FBV SB MKII" and nothing else reflashed sucessfully and tried a few different CAT-5 cables without and sucess. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 check the ports on both, potentially you have a damaged jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_anderton Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 check the ports on both, potentially you have a damaged jack. Thanks I'll do that, do you know which pins on the cat 5 the FBV actually uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 not positive, i know its not standard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_anderton Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Checked the pins on the fbv and the amp and they both look fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 it sounds like a pin issue... but perhaps it just a defective FBV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levisourdiesel Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Open up ur computer/Laptop and dial it in thru the midi in/out , you will be able to dial in if the amp is even registering it in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc_anderton Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Does the line 6 rj45 cable use all 8 pins or only 4? My cable only has 4 wires, could this be the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I thought you tried different cables... certainly want one with all 8 pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_anderton Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 Tried 2 cables but both were 4 wire. Just tried an 8 wire one and it all works. What a dummy:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
