AW: [gsp-2101] 2101 LCD is blank, unit is frozen, not responding to buttons

2005-08-22 by Schnaidt Rainer

I had a similar problem 6 months ago. Unfortunately I had to replace a electronic part in the power supply, a voltage regulator near the rear panel. It\u2019s not a big thing but you have to use a soldering iron and it needs some experience to do it right.

Good luck!

Betreff: [gsp-2101] 2101 LCD is blank, unit is frozen, not responding to buttons

I bought my GSP new back in the mid 90's and have never had much of a
problem with it. Several years ago, I replaced the tubes and added a
second disc processor. I believe I am running 2.01.01. I do not have
the "artist version/3.0"

Yesterday, when I turned on the power the following happened:
Initially everything was fine then the lcd started to dim and went
completely blank. I shut off the power and started in back up. The
green lcd screen is blank and the program number is reading 8.8.8.,
the clip is red at 0db, and the input, gain1, eq, level, ovr, byp are
all red, link and edit are not lit. I have tried powering up with the
utility bottom pushed in with no success. Also, I have tried a
factory reset by holding the function 1 button in while powering up.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My entire unit went dark a few months ago. Had a local tech put a new transformer in for $100. If I\u2019d have known it was the transformer I\u2019d have done it myself as they\u2019re available on digitech\u2019;s website for like $30. Yours sounds like something else. A good repair tech will fix it reasonably probably.
