Humey Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 During a dress rehearsal today the desk made a few clicking noise them the monitor switched off and all the faders stopped working, I had to restart the desk midshow which is not good. The clicking is the same as it makes as it switches on...if that makes sense?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wol Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Is there a question in there anywhere? Whats your power supply like there? Ever had any problems with power spikes or dips at all that might cause the power to go a bit screwy? Updated the software on the desk lately? Have you contacted ETC themselves?

Humey Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Sorry I just realised there was no question in my OP! I believe the problem lies in the power socket, it seems to be slack, and one slight nudge and the desk looses power for a split second (so quick in fact that the LEDs stay on).. any ideas of how I can fix this or any recommended repair companies?

Wol Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 As far as I remember, its just a DIN style connector for power on the ETC Express'. Definitely worth giving ETC a ring, but it might be something as simple as redoing a solder joint thats worked lose from the PCB through having the power connector plugged in an out a lot. Does the desk get moved around / unplugged much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humey Posted May 14, 2010 Author Share Posted May 14, 2010 Yeah it does get moved around a lot, I'm resenting doing it is obviously causing probelms. I contacted ETC and they recommended taking it to a specialised dealer who can repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twohats Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Ours did exactly this. The IEC plug is soldered onto the power supply pcb and the joints had fractured. It was a straightforward resoldering job to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
