Anyone know of a good digi-authorized repair center down in Nashville?  Got an SC48 that freaks out when you bump it on the right front corner (where the motherboard is).  Gotta be a loose ribbon cable or memory card, but we've reseated all that we can find...still doing it.  When you lightly thump it with your fist, it goes into backup mode and the screen turns into "hash", like an old tv set with rabbit ears.

Thanks!

Hi Terry,

Give the VENUE support line a call at 650-731-6111. They may have some ideas on what could be causing the issue, and can also point you to folks in Nashville who can help.

All you need is the serial number from the desk... and maybe not even that.  I've never had an Avid tech ask for anything else.

What is this "video" you speak of, stranger?  LOL

Maybe I wasn't calling the right number, but I ended up in phone automation hell during my first call.  We had this problem at the start of a multi-day event and when I called avid, I couldn't find any human beings...I just kept getting run around the phone system.  The tech support option required I enter my support number before it would pass me through.  I tried several other options and never got a human being on the phone, so I gave up!  It was quite frustrating to say the least....

(UPDATE)

Well...called the venue number and got a guy right off the bat.  I might have been stuck on the protools support side of the avid house the other day....?  I think we're gonna reseat the memory sticks......

For anyone with this similar issue with their SC48...I will share my experience.  The repair shop and the avid guys insisted it was RAM or the hard drive.  Turns out, it was the tip from a TRS cable lodged under the motherboard!!!  Any transit would cause it to "skitter around" in there, so bumping the console may or may not have caused a crash.

So...if you ever notice you lost the tip from your headphone cable...BE SURE to check out the inside of the jack or search the bottom of the inside of the console case to find it...DO NOT let it float around in there!!!

One of my SC48 displays this message " This system has measured a voltage out of specifications" "
" Your system might need to be serviced"
Do i need to take it in for check up?
It's been like that for a year, how serious is that message.
thanks
Robert
