Convinced blinder heads not jamming

[sethy]

I have re-flashed since, but I took a road trip to cleveland over the Easter holiday. 4 laser hits, and not one alerted for over 1 or 2 seconds.

Has there been any issue with LEDS burning out or becoming damaged?

Is there anyone who can test in the Dayton ohio area?

You can check to see if the heads are firing by looking at them through a cellphone camera or a camera/camcorder with a night mode. Use a laser gun or tester to make them fire. Alternatively, switch to parking mode and you should see pulses emitted by the heads through the camera.

If they are firing ok, check that the heads are aimed straight and level. Also clean any dirt/grime/bugs off of the lenses.

x2... hopefully someone can test though. As for the query, I haven't heard of any issues with the heads conking out?

yeah, if you have an IR camera you can look to see if they are firing. also if you have the camera make sure there is no condensation in the heads themselves. if there is it will be very obvious. they shouldn't have and condensation in them since they are filled with epoxy and should be sealed tight however things to happen occasionally. and i know it sounds stupid but are you sure that the heads were clean/dry? if there was some dust or dirt covering the receiving diodes it may have not alerted. personally i have not heard of a complete system failure. let us know
