All Audio Works Just Power to the solo light

Postby vert360 » Sun Oct 12, 2014 9:31 pm

Hello everyone, the mix board was working great then all of a sudden the power to the meters go blank and every other button on the board, the only thing that lights up on the board is the Rude solo light and the EQ settings at the top of the Rude solo light. I opened it up and push down on all the ribbon cables, I found one ribbon cable that wasn't pushed in all the way and pushed it back in. It was the ribbon cable that comes from the DSP to the Brain card. I hook everything up and it was back to normal, 30mins in to mixing it happen again, but everything was working I didn't really noticed till I looked at the board and everything was off again. Anyone have any Ideas? Thank you

When you restart everything, you can see everything turn on and the faders move, but after about 30secs it goes black. The MFX effects work, but when you try to load the UFX you get a error stating that there is no communication.

Joe is going through something very similar here. This is an odd one that I have never seen before.

You might want to verify voltages on the big ass connector pnce it goes wonky....

Am not sure what you mean by " very voltages"? Thank you again for all your help.

Yep. You may want to take the readings at the power dist. board inside the console. I am grabbing at straws on this one but it sure seems like some sort of power sag or the like. You know anyone else with a similar rig that you might borrow the power supply to test with?
