sounds like the reel is catching on the sensor ,or the light box could be catching on the reel and stopping it spinning,were you changing lamps on the reels?

Try swopping reel 1 with reel 2 to see if the error moves to that reel then u will know that u have a problems with that reel.

Error 2.1 should be a missing opto tab.
Check that you didn't accidentally knock it off the reel.

It should be a little black plastic clip sticking out of the inside of the reel, or on one of the spokes.
