BOOOOO.....this unit I had has stopped working, no power goes to it and it doesn't switch on. If any circuit bendy people on here can make use of it, then for a small donation of your choosing and paying postage then it is yours? Can't be bothered to E-Bay it as faulty/spares etc. This forum continues to be an inspiration so thought I would offer it here first. Link to details below:

Where are you located mate?
-
Originally London, now Brisbane, Australia.....
-
ahh, i was gonna say if you were in uk, i could have tried to fix it for you then sent it back.
-
Dean, your a legend! Wouldn't know where to start, so any pointers would be a great help. Don't really want to get rid of it, just to get it working! Google has not been my friend so far.....
-
got a multi meter? honestly i fix half of my stuff by stabbing that bad boy around the place and finding a bust component. Have you went basic and tried another power supply? or is it built in power supply?
-
Nope and yes tried different power supply. Same one always used and another one. From Maplin, ones with different attachments? No problem before with it?
-
Sorry, power adaptor 10v DC, set it to 9v and it has always worked mate.
-
does the unit require 9v yeah? Ive seen people using higher voltage for devices and itll work flawlessly for a long time then it will die suddenly, then they'll change the supply to the correct one and it'll work fine.
-
Tried it at 12v, no power to unit at all.
-
ohh dont do that O_O dont give it too much power. You'll fry it!?
-
Don't worry Dean, it was knackered before that. No power and all. Now, how would I test with a multi meter? P.s.shall we continue via e-mail as this feels non monome specific? ;-)
-
i couldnt give you much information more than to check the power lines on the pcb leading to the power source. Google 'using a multimeter to test for faults' im at work you see :P
-
Have to get my hands on a multimeter first. Googled it and still not clear about where I would need to prod and poke within the unit. This stuff ain't my forte!
-
im in no way a pro :P

Cheers Dean,
Gonna try and get a multimeter. Thanks for ya help so far. At least my 128 is ok? ;-)
