Quad IV-c with really dark camera | 9 October, 2018

Hi,

my Quad IV-c is showing a really dark image on the camera and its VERY difficult to see the components pads to make the adjusts.

I already check the monitor brightness (at maximum and I can see the crosshair, so the monitor is good) and already set the light level at maximum.

Is it worth to exchange the camera "ring" LEDs ? Maybe those LEDs lost the brightness over time? Maybe another problem?

Thanks

Move the camera over a feeder position and shine a flashlight to see if the image improves.....if it does....your light ring needs replaced or the led's need replaced in it. Sometimes just re-adjusting the angle of the led's in the ring can help.

Good Luck, Bob

Thanks Bob. Using a flashlight helps a lot, indeed. Is "re-adjust the angle" just a bend on the LEDs heads (by hand)? I will try.

To replace de LEDs, can I use white ones? I believe with the reds I get less light than whites, but maybe the camera need the red light for some reason.

Thanks!

re-adjust them .....yes just bend them in a little more. As for led's ....i have tried all kinds...some work better than others.
