control 24 faders jumping around
Hi,
Faders on my c24 are jumimg around! sometimes up to 8-10 in a row will suddenly fly down and then to the top and also some of the EQ DYN INSERTS lights go on and off. it has happened on several sessions. i have tried re boot of all, but it has happened again since. I hear about the power supply failing on these a lot! is this the usuall sign? i'll be surprised as this has only had 3-4 months of proper use! most of its time was spend boxed at another studio not being used. unfortunately this is out of warranty!! Chris

Re: control 24 faders jumping around
Hi,
Well, it also started to omit spikes in the monitors, so i have taken it apart to try the old clean the connectors routine and hope for the best! Failing the cleaning of contacts then i guess its a replacement PSU! is it just a simple replacement of the whole power board on the back? i'm hoping Digi can send me the PSU and i connect it all myself!! any experience on this? can't afford to be closed for return to factory!!! Chris

Re: control 24 faders jumping around
Hi,
Just to update, i took the power supply out and cleaned every connector with a cotton bud and switch cleaner lubricant! all 10, and put it all back together and it has worked ok for 2 hours with no problems! hopefully thats the fix, but won't know fully till tomorrow when i'll be working 10-12 hours. Chris

Re: control 24 faders jumping around
Crizdee,
I have seen this happening to almost all C24 units I installed for customers. It is indeed a PSU prob and a well known issue. Time to ask for an RMA... Hope this helps Cheers Arthur |

Re: control 24 faders jumping around
Hi,
Thanks for the words of wisdom guys, it did work fine last night for 2+ hours! but i guess a full day of use today will tell if cleaning the contacts was thr fix or not. It previosly worked fine yesterday till 4-5 hours into the session and the heat had built up a bit! and thats when it started, maybe heat related!? I think you are all right and i better order a spare PSU now. Regards Chris
