Malolo Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi My name is Manuel, I'm from Chile I need help about my robot explorer. When I want to use robot sistema, and pull on the knob and stream the strings appear a white light like apple. ¿How I can repair this problem? Español Cuando tiro del knob y toco las cuerdas para afinar aparece una luz blanca con forma de manzana, también aparece un sonido y la guitarra no afina. ¿Cómo puedo repararlo?

GuitarBuilder Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Follow the instructions on p. 30 of your manual carefully! Are you setting up for regular tuning (pull out MCK, rotate fully counter clockwise, press once)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondJig Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 White light, battery is too low or you have a short (strings are touching) each string must be completely isolated for the others, they are used to transmit the power and signal form the MCK to the CPU.

vexorgtr Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Usually, the white light is a result of 2 strings touching, or YOU accidently making them touch something. If they are touching a fret, or your hand, you can get the white light. Also, when in doubt, Fresh strings always make the guitar happier. I have a Robot SG, and a Darkfire.. both will start acting up when the strings are aging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunPolice Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have the same problem as this. Went through and checked all the obvious spots where short circuit could occur - looked good. Changed strings twice now just in case I'd missed something - still the white flashing symbol indicates a fault. Anything else I could try? Is there a wiring diagram somewhere so I can check for short circuit or loose connection or wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't have this type of guitar but just from a trouble shooting point of view, if the white light indicates a string to string short it looks like it would be easy to check with a multi meter set to show continuity.

You'd think so, but in fact it's more complicated than that. There's a weird arrangement, where 3 of the strings carry data to the tuners and the other 3 act as earth. Also there are 3 isolated points of contact: tail piece (with ceramic inserts), bridge and the machine heads. Obviously there's no short at the string ends (they are cut short and not touching), so the short must be in the bridge or the tail piece (or perhaps in the electronics inside the body). That's why I was hoping to find a wiring diagram so we can isolate and check these to see if we can find the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
