Hello I just started looking for a G202 Driver.

My Z stopped moving. Noticed the software was sending a command, the Z was moving on screen. Checked Z driver and light wasn't on. Switched Z and B Driver, Z worked perfect. B "Bad Driver". The led remained off on the Bad G202 Driver.

Anyone have a Gecko G202? Suggestion?

Should I change out the electrolytic capacitor or some other component? Has anyone had success servicing these units?

Extreme delta t is a factor in this situation. I had cold (-20 F; 0 F) ambient operating temps this last season.

Should I somehow use a G203 and build an digital invert circuit?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I see you have an indexer why not use that one while your one the z is on is repaired
