Yep, that’s the issue. I have opened my C24 up myself and cleaned all the contacts again with detox it, including the ribbon cables too(pulled them out despite the hot glue). I even bought a new motherboard from Avid through my repair center, and bought one new ribbon cable to replace from where I thought the problem originated. But nothing has changed! It’s inherent in these PCB’s I’m afraid, and there’s really no fixing it. I’ve even removed some cables that interconnect PCB boards, and then I can see the LED’s not work in some sections, but it’s likely perpetuated throughout multiple areas.

I once worked for an audio manufacturer in the pro department. When they discovered a manufacturing defect in one of their products, after a year or so of continual issues they just swept it under the rug and came out with a new model. Never admitted to anything, and the poor souls who purchased these units were just simply out of luck. I don’t know if this is what’s happening here, but as they say in Back To The Future, “There’s something very familiar about all this”!
