CHAUVET Arena Hazer 3 DMX issue

OK. I'll order one online. I hope there will be a positive update in a few weeks when it arrives and it's installed.

Well, I got the optocoupler today in PIN-8 and not SOP-8 form factor so I did some careful bending and cutting of the pins and installed it on the DMX PCB. I then installed the PCB back in the hazer, plugged in an XLR and the unit heated up and cycled on , displaying the DMX address, something that was not happening before. I'm figuring because when the opto was faulty, it was going into MANUAL mode and not DMX mode. Long story short, it's working perfectly now. I just have to give the unit a clean up and it's back on the shelf, waiting on it's next performance!! YOU GUYS!!! Thanks for everything!!!
