nah the second one was used as I couldn't afford new. Only the first one was new and the warranty ran out long ago on that one.

Hey Christy, have you tried wiggling the feeding button (then wait 8 minutes for the feeding mode to disengage). I have thought mine was broken when the feeding button was actually stuck down even though it didn't look like it, and didn't feel like it either when I wiggled it, but it worked afterwards.

Hmm never tried that, but the wavebox worked prior to turning it off using my controller, not the feeding button. Worth a try though, the 6100 sucks as a DIY wavebox

Nope that wasn't it. I tried both of the wavebox controllers when I set up the 6100 (swapped out the "single controller" that came with the 6100 for the wavebox one so it would actually turn on and off).
Besides, there is a light that is normally on with the transformer and it ain't on.

Ohhhh, ya no lights on the controller = bad. Dangit, I was hoping it would be a quick fix like that. If I were you I would try emailing Tunze. They are a pretty good company, I wouldn't be surprised if they hooked you up with a new or refurbished controller.

Is the light on the transformer that plugs directly into the wall? I'm unfamilliar with the Wavebox's components, but sounds like you may have a different issue here than the box's. If the power supply is dieing, then it may be a power issue with your house electricity? Do you seem to blow other electronic's? How long do regular incandescant lightbulbs last in your place? The power grid at my house is so full of harmonics, Incandescants only last 2 months Tops. Might be an issue there too??
Just sayin it seem's awefully strange that 2 wave boxes died the exact same way for you. And you havn't modded them, or exceeded their programming/design characteristics. So maybe something else is the common denominator???
