828MkII stop and start again randomly......

Post by p.pan »

Hi,

I send back my 828MkII to motu for a refurb.
They send me back a refurb one.
But the 828MkII, when I receive it, stop and start randomly....
I was a bit disapointed and I put my 828MkII away.

Now two years after I see this 828MkII and I try to contact motu for a refurb one again......But they stop it....

I have this Motu 828MKII in a very good condition but......I cannot use it.
There is not a way to repair it???
Because except that the machine look in a perfect condition.
And I am SURE its not a big things, perhaps during the transport something have been damage....

Please if you have any idea.

Thanks

The 828-2 is appearing on eBay for under $300. It's really getting to the end of the road for it.

My 828-3 gives me occasional problems that sound a bit like yours. It won't power up unless it has been off for a few hours. I think there is probably some internal damage affected by heat build up from the unit and surrounding equipment in the rack.

I was going to get the refurb, but by time I've cover the cost and shipping, I probably won't have an interface worth the cost of repair.

If MOTU introduces simpler lower cost versions of the AVB interfaces with fewer channels I'll probably go for one of those rather than taking chances with the 828.
