Hi all. In my studio I have a Digidesign D-Control
Recently, the LEDs on the main unit stopped working, no lights. But unit works as normal.
So I ordered a replacement PSU which is this https://power.sager.com/snp-z10b-3979628.html
Long story short, when I replaced the PSU, the lights didn't come on. I thought it must be DOA..
But what I figured out after couple of hours of head scratching that the new PSU works only if the heatsink is not connected to the chassis.
(there is a Z shaped metal bit that screws on top of the existing heatsink on the PSU to connect to the chassis of the D-Control)
This seems peculiar to me as the PSU is identical to the old one. Could there be some other failure in the other circuit boards that caused this to begin with?
Right now my only plan is to find something (what?) to isolate the Z shaped metal bit from the chassis and still have some kind of heat dissipation.
But I'd love to find out why all of a sudden this is happening.
Thanks for any insight!
Cheers
