Maybe some of you guys had the same problem once:
A friend of mine just gave me a MOTU 282mk3 interface, and asked me to check it.
After an electrical storm hit the area, it won't turn on. The storm also damaged the PSU on his computer (he already got it fixed) and some other stuff...
After I opened it, I first looked for a fuse. There was something like a fuse (at least it says "F1" on the PCB) in a small brown cap, but that isn't burnt.
Next, I meassured the output of the PSU (pins 1/2 to 15/16) as follows:
pins 1/2: 0V,
pins 3/4: -12.56V,
pins 5/6 +5.14V,
pins 7/8: +12.18V,
pins 9/10: 0V,
pins 11/12: 3.3V
pins 13/14: 4.6V
pins 15/16: 0V
I guess these voltages means that the PSU is working allright, but I'm not sure.
Nevertheless, the MOTUs front pannel remains completely dark. If nothing is connected to the interface, at least a few lights should turn on?
Perhaps a failing backlight LED? Maybe there is some other type of fuse on the main PCB?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
