Control Monitor Section STILL Intermittent!

[a2zproductions]

Took it all apart. Sprayed TB3, TB4, TB2, blah blah blah...
with Dexoit. Re-set chips, wiggled connectors. Everything
is tight & where it should be, but still audio just
cuts out when it feels like it. Namely the Left side!

I even tried anotherD-Sub cable with the same results.
I've resorted to theALT monitor outputs for the past year.
This was happeningeven before I changed the power supply
a few months ago?
It is in a stand and gets virtually no vibration...

BTW, the Cub board is not cracked and is functioning properly.
I'm at my wits end with this problem. I really would like
to be able to use the monitor section for what it was intended.

Any suggestions?

Adrian, I don't have the same problem with my C|24 monitoring section as you do -- I occasionally & get a very loud static "POP!". Digi support told me to deox some connectors, etc. but that hasn't helped. I'm now looking at bypassing/replacing the monitoring section with a Central Station or something from Dangerous Music. I've heard that Dangerous monitoring systems are more transparent than C|24 so that might be an improvement anyway. Maybe a nice XMas present for myself...

I know this is an old thread. but I'm a hopelessly intermittent poster...

Just wondering if this problem was satisfactorily resolved. I have had the same prob. with my Control 24 almost all its life. I've had a couple of psu replacements, but all to little avail.

Oh and I still get occasional freaking out faders, leds and scribble strip flickering/dimming.

But the left speaker thing is happens a number of times nearly every day...

While I'm whingeing, I may as well add that my rubber's all sticky and one of my solo switches is dead now too. Waaaaaa! :cry:

This is a pretty early unit and I am the original owner if that helps anything.

I love you digi :) but definitely seeking help on this.

Cheers,

Hammers.

The monitor issue is likely ribbon connections on the monitor board. The power connections alone would not cause that issue.
(Assuming it is not in a knob. I notice also on mine that occasional issues are easily resolved by cycling the alt button)

Try cleaning and re seating the ribbons. If it persists, it could be a bad component on the monitor board.

I went through a big issue with this recently, and I now have a NEW monitor board in mine. (Which has a constand barely audible his in the right channel.... both Mon and Alt.... might have to get a new one)

The board will run you $450 flat out, or I think Digi will charge you only $150 if you return your old board. You'd have to call tech for varification.
