I have never had an issue with these. I had a Dtap splitter connected (been a method of mine for years) and suddenly it just stopped sending power even to a single cable. Is their an easy fix for this?

Thanks
 
If the splitter is connected to an A/B plate with a power tap, have you checked the fuse inside the plate? Fairly easy to check and change, but you do have to take the plate off of the camera.

I actually asked Anton Bauer to build me some camera plates like their stand alone battery plate with several p-taps(before everyone started putting taps directly on the batts) that has a pull-out fuse holder, but no dice...
 
Would one of you help me locate the fuse and give me steps on how to fix it? One of my buddies said i might have accidentally plugged in one of the cables backwards on the splitter but i dont think thats the case.
 
If we're talking about an A/B battery plate on the back of the camera, remove all four screws holding the plate on, then remove the plate from the camera. On the inside of the plate, the fuse will be behind/inside a black cover that presses into the back of the plate. There are two wires running into it soldered to "cups" that fit on each end of the fuse.

This may not be your exact plate, but will give you a good idea of what it looks like under the plate and instructions and specs/part number for the fuse.
