Advice: used mc control - should I buy?

[kilroyrock]

power supply and faceplate came in today, probably will fix it all up tonight and then tomorrow i'll build a self containing control surface box to hold the power supplies and network switch beneath and give a good working angle (these screens don't do very good with a small degree of tilt) to keep things real easy.

I purchased 3 laptop stands to tilt my 2 artist mix and 1 control for the same reason. it's more of a 45 degree angle now.

I don't get how anyone expect people to use this with the low angle, even the artist mix. Do people stand up while they mix? Even my big knob has a pretty decent angle. Every external vu meter is practically 90 on a console?

ok, so i got the cover on, and it wasn't working so i had to take it apart again. i think it dealt with the grounding of the unit's metal pieces or something. so i got it to a point i could turn it on and test it witha few screws out. works great. then i put a few more in, and it works great. then i get it almost all the way together and test again, this time i get the purple logo, but then it turns RED on me, and won't turn off.

i can't find any post on this issue, does anyone know what's happening?!

I never experienced that issue with mine. At times when i first turn it on I don't get the purple logo it looks like white noise. Other than that its fine. Hope you figure it out.

The fact that it went let me turn it off once on is the weird thing in top of the weird logo
