Hello,
A church client of ours has a GLD console and it was hooked up to an AR2412. It’s a couple years old, if that.
They recently had a major lighting strike that took out several things… After the lighting event, they had no sound, no projection, no lights, and no building network. To get them by for Sunday, I hooked up an SQ6 directly to the GLD and configured the SQ6 as if it were a stage box. I know this isn’t supposed to work, but it did enough to make sound. Since this works, it seems that the GLD is fine.
As far as this AR2412 goes, I took it apart and don’t see any obvious burn marks or damage, but I am suspecting that the IO Rack Comms board is bad. It doesn’t seem like these are serviceable (and we do have a component level repair bench). Just for testing, I connected Ethernet from a PC to the dSnake port and got no link. If I connect to the Monitor port, I get 100Mbps link. The Expander port also gives no link.
Has anyone gotten an AR2412 repaired after a similar issue.
