      Rebekah HicksJul 26, 2025
      If your Chauvet DJ Equipment device has no power, first, check the device’s internal fuse. Second, verify that there is power on the Mains. Finally, in case of an autoswitching transformer failure, the unit can be sent in for repair, or a replacement part can be ordered directly from CHAUVET Part#: P140-DERBYX.

    Why are LEDs not illuminating on my Chauvet DJ Equipment?
    • K
      Kristen GrayAug 15, 2025
      If one or more LEDs are not illuminating on your Chauvet DJ Equipment, regularly clean the fixture to ensure proper cooling. An LED may have failed, resulting in an open circuit, in which case all of the red, green, or blue in a single module will no longer illuminate. Alternatively, an LED may have failed, resulting in a short circuit, in which case only the single LED which has failed will no longer function. In the event of LED failure, a replacement LED PCB assembly may be purchased directly from CHAUVET Part#: P222-DERBYX.
