Lights out on 828MKIII

Post by apanacci »

Hey anyone have this happen to your 828MKIII. The LCD on the Channel,page,parameter and value front of the unit has died. Everything works though. Just wondering what to do. I have an eq setting on the mix out section. It is saved. Wondering if a reset would help. Thanks !

If you can shine a light into the display from the front and see a readout, the display is fine but the backlight or the circuit leading to it is the problem.

Google is your friend. Search for motu 828 backlight repair and you'll see a few hundred links, videos etc. Some of them will have part numbers and sources for them.
