Michael, let us know how it works out.
There was a guy out there, Jim Fabiano, who had worked at Lex for years, but was repairing the older units freelance. But his website now has an unwelcome story...

Will do. I contacted Lexicon and received this response.
Michael,
You may want to try resetting the unit. To do this you will need to remove the EEPROM at board location U21 from it’s socket and short all of the pins to ground then re-insert the EEPROM (with the correct polarity) and start the M300L. If this does not fix the problem we can set up a repair for the unit.
There is a $325 flat rate for repair of the M300L. This charge covers parts, labor and shipping back to you but will not cover extensive damage. If additional charges are required for the repair you will be contacted before we proceed.
I am still trying to find an hour to pull the dead unit and do this. Hopefully next Monday at the latest I will tackle it.
Worst case the $325 is more than resonable and since they are just across town I can drive it over and save the shipping. I am just really glad they are still fixing these units. There are so many out there it would be a shame to have them all fall by the wayside as has seemed to have happened to the TC M-5000 units.
I will let you guys know on Monday if this fixes the problem. I have a lot of mixing to do next week and subbing out a PCM-91 just isn't doing it in the same way. I certainly is not the same box or the same sound. Not even close really.
Thanks,
Michael Greene
