Control One died

2008-08-12 by Jey

Hi everyone. I've had my 2101 with the PPC-210 upgrade for almost 13 
years now with no problems. That is until last month when I accidently 
injected a dose of Phantom power to the unit and that called for a 
visit to Utah for repair (guess I have the phantom power protection 
upgrade now) Anyway, shortly after the factory returned it, I began 
having problems with my foot controller just shorting out. I replaced 
the cable and checked the sockets which seem tightly soldered to the 
PCB's at both ends. Hardware seems fine. When I try to calibrate the 
controller I get an error when setting the Min/Max positions. 
Performed the Factory Reset but still no change. On this 2101 I have 
left all the factory settings and have not tweaked any of the 
perameters if that helps. 

Any ideas what might cause this ?
Thank you !

I'll go with my favorite advice which has fixed quite a few things for me in the past. Gently press down and reseat all the chips and ribbon cables/connectors inside. Other than that send it in or maybe one of the gurus here can help. Anyone? Bueller?

You can purchase any midi controller, it will work. I use the GCX Ground Control Pro, EXCELLENT midi controler with led's and a display. Works great for my gsp2101...
