So I´ve done a fair number of Eurorack DIY projects and now want to get deeper into electronics. A friend of mine has a faulty 3630 which he gave to me. I´m looking for a point to get started, so maybe this behaviour rings a bell:
- Power supply appears to be ok, LEDs lights up
- And that´s the problem: Almost all LEDs light up, with nothing except power plugged in. It seems a strong signal is generated somewhere and it´s on both channels.
- Unit is constantly compressing, unless bypassed
- Gate function appears to work
- Link function appears to work
- Input and Output gain meters (LED) is constantly "full on"
- There is some coloring around the voltage converters, but this looks like kind of normal with hot parts and years of use.
What could be a likely root cause?
If I get this box fixed, I plan on doing the mods next, at least for the fun of it and some soldering practice
