MrBoomal Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Rooting around the tech room I came across on old Zero 88, Sirius 48 lighting desk. When I plug it in it lights up like a Christmas tree. All the digital displays show the number 7.. No matter what I try nothing changes. Is this completely terminal? Or would it be worth having repaired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Keep hold of it in case you ever need a door-stop for a really big door. That's about all it's good for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_the_LD Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Could it be a display problem? If it is this should not be too expensive could it? Or is it the circuit bords completley dead? If it isn't going to cost much they go for it and get it done. We have a sirius 24 (the small, baby version) which has never let me down yet (I have now permanently jinxed myself! :unsure:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzette Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Have you tried switching to super-user mode and resetting everything? You say No matter what I try nothing changes but what have you tried exactly? Some more information might help a bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pritch Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I acquired a Sirius 24 with similar issues. It seems that over time pretty much all the ribbon cables inside had worked loose. Open it up (the manual will tell you how), and reseat all the connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Allen Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The symptom of all displays lighting up can be caused by a flat cmos backup battery, usually a button cell. Some are rechargeable, some not. This happens with Jands Events so may be your problem. Measure battery with meter, usually 3.6 volts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 As Don has said first thing to check is the condition of the batteries. There are two fitted on the 48 way desk. One on the main and the other on the slave PCB. Look for signs of corrosion on and around them. If the desk has been sat around for a while then they may have started to leak on to the PCB. Again as Don had mentioned they are 3.6v rating but they should measure at least 2.2v with out power and under 4.5 with powerRS part number for a replacement is 422 393.
