So my Z4K has been in storage (dry location in orig. box) for 2 years. Today I turn it on and both lights (red and green) come on and stay on. The fan is running, but the digital readouts are blank and there is no power to the track. It was working flawlessly 2 years ago when I put it away. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
~Eric~

This is what happens if one or both handles are not in the full down position. Cycle both handles to clear out the dust and move to the full down position and then turn on. Hope that its that simple. Of course, if there is a short in your wiring or on the track, it will happen. Try with no wiring connected to the Z4K.

The digital readouts should NOT be blank.
At power up, the red light on the left should come on, blink once then go off(blink once and stay on if a handle not all the way off). The green(power indicator) light on the right just comes on and stays on either way. The volts readings should show 40 and 00, with the amps showing 01 and 24; momentarily then revert to "normal readings" if everything is working properly. If a handle is "up" these readings stay that way until you lower the offending handle.
Either way, the digital meters should show the above mentioned readings. If they are blank, it indicates an internal problem which will most likely require attention by a qualified repair person.
I just thought of something that may sound dumb; did you check the circuit breakers? Since I have never had a short serious enough to pop one, I'm not sure what the panel indications might be.
