Makelangelo flashes when powered on

[David Bachman]

I have a Makelangelo 5 that I just plugged in after several months of it sitting idle. It worked perfectly the last time I used it, but now the LCD screen and the power LED flash every 2-3 seconds, and it won’t connect to my computer or respond to the stop button. Any ideas how to fix?

Quick update. Troubleshooting…

Seems to be an issue with the Micro servo connection. When I disconnect it, all looks normal. However, I have a few spare (brand new) servos, and when I plug any of those in the LCD goes black and power light goes off.

Is it a new servo? the servo wires have to be … twisted? see here: https://mcr.dozuki.com/Guide/3.+Pen+Holder+Assembly+2023/40?lang=en#s447

Shoot. Yes, forgot about the twisted wires. Thanks!! That did the trick.
