Two stubborn d8b's
Posted: Mon Aug 30, 2021 8:30 am
Dear All,
Its been a long time since i posted something related to the d8b. I hope that you are in good health and you are still using the d8b out there.
recently both my d8b's are out of function and its very frustrating when you have two of them not working.
D8B Mixer 1 problem:
I've been getting a meter freeze instantly when the mixer boots up or few minutes after during usage. I did all the cleaning required and re-seating of ribbon cables and the problem persisted. Few weeks ago i had the plugin communication problem which was then fixed but now its persisting on meter freezes. In this forum someone mentioned that the ribbon cables could get oxidised. What is your suggestions please? The power cables from the power distribution board to the internal cards were cleaned numerous times. The ADATs and APOGEE cards cleaned too. Problem persisted though.
D8B Mixer 2 problem:
Mixer two boots and after few minutes sound is not heard and to top it up the surface LEDs are switch off. Sometimes the mixer sound keeps on working but the surface LED's switch off and the faders will not get response however the software keeps on working. Again this mixer had the ribbon cables re seated and cleaned together with the power cables.
NB: The re seating of the ribbon cables was done on those reachable. The ones underneath were not touched since one needs to unscrew the internal boards to do so.
Your help please is appreciated.
Thanks
Carlo
