I have been using this spectra III(dd53cbw) for about 2 years, no problems til recently video became distorted , as though there was a neg/pos feed crossing. I took down unit, after shutting down unit, powered up again and not only was the video the same , but unit no longer powers up or goes through standard configuration at powerup. I have 2 backboxes(bb53-pe-e), both of which show green led, and one of which is brand new. Tried power up on both boxes, and same issue. The camera is receiving or is blocking any incoming power, yet display shows that it's getting some kind of feed albeit completely distorted. I changed transformer with brand new one rated at 24v 70va as used with this model. Any suggestions as too what might be going on. Or am i the proud owner of a pelco paper weight?

Thank you, I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips or workable sollutions, or perhaps just the reason my sprectra III, in fully functional operation (DD53CbW-BG-Ex22), for the soul reason:condensation build up at pc-board roughly 75%of the back box, not the camera drives board. Backbox(bb63-bg-e). Long short, condensation build up over time is somewhat thick for a pc board. I used mineral spirits and many q-tips and removed. All awhile green led appears when transformer applied.(24v,70va,fused). Problem:no display that's legible. display shows screen as though neg/&pos video feed might be rubbing against eachother somewhere within sys. perhaps missed condensation slime crossing a connection creating a illegible distorted screen. Not a blank screen. Easy get a new backbox! I do !Green light power comes up, motordrive inserted , there's distorted screen, then this time , unnotticed in my orig. backbox, no configuration or auto self test. Both backboxes show same defects. Power is getting to dome at connection, or that is where power feed is actually lost. Well, with the exception of the distorted display. Other than with an extra backbox, for I'm assuming both are functional! Well new one anyway. Can transformer pwr. when reaches that over/under male/female 16 or 20 pin uniting connection actually be denied by the camera so as not to perform standard powerup / config. whch can perform just about anytime, even when no ptz control are wired. Mine were, not now! The camera is dead, it seems as though. All of a sudden. I thought to be hard to acheive in todays vast adavancements with circuitry. Is there a fuse inside the motordrive or spectra III. Does it have a reset needing resettng, shut down as a result of the 3 hour power outage the other night or two prior. I 've had outages before. The Pelco and its vcr are the first things usually heard throughout the hole house in the past outages because of its configuring and vcrs gears going silly. So, if anyone , any insight, please, throw me a bone! I need my rig! Thank you, willyvanpeoples
