      John CombsAug 13, 2025
      If your Martin Light Fixture is completely dead, there are a couple of things you can check. First, make sure the fixture is getting power and that all connections are secure. If that's not the issue, the fuse may be blown. Disconnect the fixture from power and then check and replace the fuse if necessary.

      If your Martin Light Fixture displays '????' when powered on, it indicates a checksum error. Try uploading new software using the normal upload procedure. If that doesn't work, try uploading new software using the boot mode upload procedure.
