Prototyping Board Power on the NI Elvis II won't turn on

[cgc47]

After connecting a different prototyping board to the Elvis, the power for the prototyping board has stopped working on the Elvis. Even when I reconnect the NI Elvis Series Prototyping Board to the Elvis it will not work. The LED in the upper right corner of the board won't even light up indicating that it's sending power to the board. Although the USB Active LED will light up still when the board is turned on.

I have checked and replaced the fuse for the Elvis and it still does not work. I hvae also tried different prototyping boards, but the problem seems to lie within the Elvis itself.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this problem and how I might go about fixing it?

Are both power switches on? I recall someone else had this issue-

See the manual:

cgc47,

As mentioned by AnalogKid2Digi..., the first thing that we need to make sure is that you have both power switches ON. Once both of this power switches are ON, are the three LEDs corresponding to the +15V, -15V and +5V DC power supply on the left side of the Elvis protoboard ON?

It's working now. We opened up the board to try and test it, and during the process it reset itself and now works. Thank you all for the responses!

Hi tnoor,

This thread is four years old so it probably won't be seen by many people. I suggest you create a new thread so that more people can see your question.
