Default Re: All lights flashing on my D-Command

Yesterday, I actually changed my LED Power Supply in my main unit of the D command, it was super easy once you take out all the screws and the side panel. I took a picture of how the wires were installed before moving forward with the replacement. Sager Electronics was the company I purchased the PSU from, they carry the part you need-> Model: SNP-Z10B, I will add the link at the bottom. Feel free to reach out if you need any more information.

I know, it's crazy how insane they can charge for the PSU. This company is awesome. The rep took the time to make sure I had the right component before I went through with the purchase.

Default Re: All lights flashing on my D-Command

Via our chief engineer in at a prominent audio post house in Chicago:



Yes, Sager is very helpful, and yes paying $95 instead of $350 to Avid is nice, but.....

Anyone ordering the part from Sager should be aware that the part that Avid uses in the board is part number is SNP-Z10B-D . notice the -D

What is the difference? On the Avid spec part there are insulators on both regulators on the power supply, isolating them from the metal where you attach the heat sync. Without that, there is a voltage on that metal. If you attach the Avid heat sync, you will short the supply to ground and it will never turn on. All you will hear is a clicking every half second.

The solution is either to;
a. order the SNP-Z10B-D .
b. DON'T use the Avid heat sync, and just use the small heat sync provided with the Sager power supply. (which is much easier, but might "void the warranty")

Default Re: All lights flashing on my D-Command

I know this thread is older than dirt; I just saw Moses mixing on a d-control before parting the red sea. LOL But....I recently purchased a 32 channel D-control from a studio going out of business and the main D-control and one Fader module need an LED PSU. I called Advanced Musical in West LA and they said they both need an LED PSU but also suggested I replace the Fader module motors PSU's as well totaling around $800. So I have to ask the logical question. I know there are three PSUs in the D-CONTROL (LED, Logic and Motors). I'd like to replace all the PSUs for both Fader modules as well as the main unit at the same time so they don't go out individually. Is the PSU the same for all of these so all I have to do is order 9 PSUs from Sager and put them in or are they different.

Thanks in advance.

So... LOL....

The PSU for the Logic board is different from the PSU for the LED and the PSU for the LED is different from the PSU for Fader motors. The Logic board PSU has very little, if any, history of failing though so no need to replace it. I also learned that even though the PSU for the LED can go out, the board is still fully usable ( if you don't need LED's LOL).

So I ordered 3 PSU's (just for LED) from Sagar for $96/each. I'll update this thread once done just so 5 years from now when the next comment comes, someone has some additional history to go on.

BTW - Sager didn't have any record on a SNP-Z10B-D.

just thought I'd add in that they are repairable too through American Skynet Electronic Co. or skynet USA.

We've had many of the LED PSU's go in the last year or so. Took about 2 weeks with standard shipping speeds. $80 plus shipping.

This is good info, and I think I'm running into this problem now. Are there any pics of what you're talking about here? I'm pulling my hair out.
