Default Advice needed for ICON problem

I've got a 32 fader D-Control setup here laid out as fader pack > centre section > fader pack.

As of yesterday the left fader pack no longer displays any LEDs at all, except for CF which must be on a separate circuit.

So to be clear - the faders and pots are fine and working perfectly but aside from that, it LOOKS like it's dead because there's no lights. Using the utility LED test, there's no red or yellow or green and the meters on the bridge are dead too.

So I'm assuming it's a single failure somewhere that drives all the LEDs but wouldn't mind a confirmation if someone knows for sure, possibly having seen this before.

I'm possibly going to look at selling the big fella soon anyway. I still love it to bits but it's just too big for my current digs. So if anyone's interested or knows someone interested, I'd be happy to start a dialog. I'd pay for whatever repair is required with the authorised technician here in Australia to get it ship-shape before selling.

Did they all fail around the same time?

Yes. So clearly one single part or group of parts has failed.

Thanks Francois.
I looked at the tech manual and I think you're being too hard on yourself! It doesn't look like an easy job for an unskilled idiot like me at all!

I can see a good few hours there with lots of little screws littered everywhere. I might try and find a techy friend who I can wrangle in to help.
