Question Re: Control 24 Power Supply Self Repair

Skynet will only repair the models they used in the later introduced control 24's. Trust me, I have learned all this through trial and error. From what I understand, if you feel comfortable with your capabilities, remove the power supply and inspect to see if you can tell which "rev" you have and if it says, "Skynet" anywhere on the power supply. This will let you know what avenue to take, being purchase a new PSU from Avid, or send to Skynet for repair. Hope this helps for you and everyone else out there in our position.
jschival67, did you ever resolve your power supply issue? I ask because I am having the exact same issue as you had in this post (dead faders, monitor section dead, same non- Skynet PS, blowing fuses, different c20 cap size than new PS). I too would like to avoid the new power supply cost (but will if this is the only remedy), Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
