C24 All it up

[uisdean]

This happened to us a couple of weeks ago, hopefully what we found will help others with the same problem: As we use our C24 for post work we dont use the pre's very much and the mics tend to remain in the pre's for a long time, however this time we were plugging and unplugging a lot of different mics, the C24 went " all lit up", following the advice on the forum we removed the PSU to reseat the connectors although this did not make any logical sense, first thing we noticed was that the +48 phantom connector was extremely dodgy and fell out when we moved the PSU, it been reseated and secured with screwlock, no other connectors were touched, makes sense if we were putting a varying load on the +48 rail and the conector was arcing causing spikes to go through the PSU and causing the C24 to lock out. probably soldering the leads into place is a better option. Hope this helps all who seem to suffer with this on a frequent basis.
