Motu 828 MkIII firewire malfunction

Post by Tidwells@aol.com »

The other day my Motu 828 MkIII (firewire only version) quit working. When I turn it on, it starts to boot up, then after a few seconds the display gets dimmer and it gets stuck with "cue mix fx loading" on the screen and never finishes booting up. If I toggle one of the phantom power switches on and off, the display gets a little brighter when phantom power is on. I already had this unit repaired under Motu's flat fee repair program several years ago. Have they discontinued this program? If so, does anyone have any suggestions on possible do-it-myself repair attempts? Thanks in advance for your input! I CAN use a soldering iron and multimeter :-)
