    Great video! I have both the Portfolio and a Malibu. I think my Portfolio is older.
    I’m having the same problem but with the Malibu. Lights with not shut off and digital display does not come on. UA-cam suggestions indicate the battery but maybe it is the photo light detector.
    What is the model number you purchased from Lowe’s?
    Thanks!

      Thanks for watching. I just chose one that had the appropriate rating for the power rating of the transformer.

    I'm troubleshooting one of these Portfolio transformers for a neighbor and was wondering if the LED display that indicates o, A, 1, 2, 3, etc is supposed to be lit all the time? Or does it go dark after a few minutes? For example, I press the Up or Down arrows to cycle through the modes, choose one, and then after a few minutes the display is completely dark, until I press again.

      Thanks for watching. It’s supposed to stay on so you know what mode it’s in…

      @@TheHappyLife-h7b Thank you!!! To clarify, once you click the up/down arrow, the red LED displays. And if you looked at the transformer say 2 hours later, that red LED would still be on showing the mode, even without touching the up/down arrow--it stays on steadily. (I'm wondering because the LED on the one I'm working with goes dark a few minutes after I set it.Which, if wrong means I just buy a new transformer!)

      I bought the same part from Lowe's and it worked perfectly on a Sollos 120w Transformer @@TheHappyLife-h7b
