I only had the head unit, no eb832. Hard reset did not work. Brain seems fried. Also my Cor20 might be fried, it won’t run on it’s own either. Just ran to the store and bought a new EL

Are you running an EB8 then? You have to be running some sort of power strip, right? If it is an EB8 they have a breaker/fuse button too.

EB8's were all good. It's the apex brain for sure. I just plugged in a new Apex EL and the power bars are working fine. Hopefully I can recover some of what I just had to drop in the EL, as the Apex brain should still be under warranty

Send it in for repair. Then sell the EL to recoup some of the cash. Wish I could say I’m surprised it was the brain but was hoping a reset could fix it. Glad you have the answer

Thanks all for the support, moral and technical. Such a pain to deal with this stuff, I wish I understood the reason why it happened. Everything is up and running except for the frag tank, which had the COR20 return pump fried apparently. First I was getting a low voltage error, then a current error? I'm thinking of buying a Varios 6 from a friend instead
