First post here.
Sometime ago I bought a second hand 828 mk2 to replace the RME fire face on my now defunct G5.
I use it connected to a Macbook pro.
When I bought it, the LCD backlight was dead which I knew, but I could operate it with the software so all was fine.
Normally when i switch it on, there's a few seconds lapse then there's a little crackle on the speakers (I have it connected through ADAT to my mixer) and then the 44.1Khz clock LED shows and all good to go. I can also see it in MOTU Audio Setup.
However, recently it started to not show up on the mac when powering up. Had to switch it on and off a few times and sometimes even despite that I won't show up on the mac.
I can still hear the crackle on the speakers when i switch it on (so clearly there is power), however no 44.1Khz clock light and not recognised by mac.
Although the LCD backlight is dead, I can still see that it says MOTU 828USB v1.01 so clearly it starts but seems to freeze on startup...
I have tried with a different power cable and connected to different socket, different USB cable, disconnect and wait a bit... with no success

Thanks in advance.
