M-audio ProjectMix I/O Problem.

I'm not sure why it's not entering test mode for you. It should operate how it is shown in this video: https://youtu.be/_mRpmfUNf9s

I had to replace my power supply last year and got this one. I know it works;

mesaone is right it should work exactly like that at least to verify that it's a functioning unit.

Yep, nothing. the screen still just has the squares, and doesnt show any real text.

Try resetting the PMIO:

Setup Button (SETUP): Pressing the SETUP button will access additional internal parameters, such as LCD Contrast, jog wheel calibration and factory defaults. To reset the unit to factory defaults (this resets the base running mode to Cubase and resets any data that has been programmed into MIDI mode), go into the SETUP menu on the device, press the lighted SEL key under the label "Factory Defaults," then press the lighted key under the word “Yes.” There will be a slight delay (2 seconds or so) as the unit resets itself, and then it will
restart.

Nothing lights up when i hit the setup button, nor can i see anything on the LCD other than the squares(that i have pictured) I guess at this point im going to start tearing it apart and check all the solder points and test everything with a multimeter, something tells me a processor chip in the unit is dead, and at that point it will be garbage, sadly.

Try disconnecting and re-connecting any ribbon cables and connectors inside before you start replacing anything. It could just be a loose connection.

Just guesses at this point..

Hello!

I had exact the same issue some years ago when I bought a used projectmix too. There´s a special thing to know about the projectmix: On the rear panel you can read 9V 3500mA. OK, that´s the power supply I bought! Strange fader jumping and wrong display.
When you take a look into the manual page 9, No. 60 "power input". What´s that? 12V!!! And that was the solution for me. A new power supply with 12V. From then everything works as expected!

Never did get this resolved. Curious if anyone who has had this issue solved the problem, or if anyone might have other suggestions.
