make sure all your connections are soldered instead of socketing the diode/alligator clips.

I connected a meter and put the 0-bias back to 50 ma and the gain to about 350 ma. It worked for a minute and then I tried turning the gain up again and it reset again. Then I noticed the red fault led is on, and now I can't get it go off again. I read that the light will come up if the output circuit is open, so I thought the diode was blown. I then connected another driver that I had (badpip's quad) and everything worked fine. The blue diode I am using is rated at 1.6A. I checked the fuse on the flexmod, it's fine.
Is it possible that I messed up the flexmod by adjusting the gain while the diode was connected?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!

suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.
