Hey, a friend of mine has just experienced a problem with a one year old
MX9000. The peak LEDs (all of them) are lit and nothing else is responding.
I'm guessing it's the power supply, but have no real basis for this. Any
ideas? Mute doesn't work, nor does changing the input bussing options.

In what way does this behavior distinguish itself from the board's normal
operation?

Is it Fused? Check the Fuses.

Pop it open. One of the power supply rails is gone. Start at the
transformer and work your way through to the regulator and you'll find
something broke.

Good guess. Write us about your friend's experience getting it
repaired.

Mike, I have a stack of broken 1400i's where can I have them fixed in
upstate ny
they really are not worth shipping out to get fixed
I am thinking it is mostly ribbon cable stuff as they are intermittent
and when I spike a strong signal into them they start working until shut
down or bumped

1400i is a Mackie model, right? As I recall, it's a power amp. I can find
no record of a "Behringer 1400i" .

If I was the one there, I would. But my friend doesn't know **** about
electronics.

Then why on earth would you post this request... Just have him take it
to the local repair shop and have it fixed.

Or you could try resetting it by holding all the mutes down at the same
time (this might take several people to help out) and reset the power.
This will reload the analog firmware and sometimes can fix bad power
rails....

Analogue firmware? Fix bad power? Why does this smell so bad in here?
Almost like cattle...

No, it really works. The thing if you gotta press the buttons down really
hard. A 10-ton hydraulic press will do nicely.

Yes Arney you are right and I was off thread topic , just asking Mike as I
felt he had a in depth knowledge of good Mackie repair joints

1400i's are Mackie power amps

Oh, so that's why he said "Mike." George, I don't have a clue where
you can get them fixed in upstate NY. Do you have a regular shop that
services your gear? There's a service manual (PDF) for it which Mackie
Tech Support can send you. At least that has a schematic and parts
list. Anyone who can fix power amplifiers should be able to fix it.

to be honest, I fix my own desks , my qsc and powersoft amps have not
failed, if a verb screws up I just shelve it if a eq acts up I sell it
cheap to a smaller company whos needs are not as demanding
tape decks/cd players, in the bin with them
so these are the only things I have that I can/am unwilling to deal
with myself so far
so no I do not have a repair guy on call at this time
I guess I will try mackie to see where they send me

I'd say pull 'em apart and clean the contacts of the cables/boards.
I've had that problem before with other connectors inside gear before.
It should take about 5 minutes per amp, if you have an electric
screwdriver lying about, maybe less.

Go right to the power supply as you've probably lost either the plus
or minus (but not both) IC powering voltage from the supply. One side
is working, the other isn't and that is causing the peak LED circuit
to actuate since it's no doubt a comparison circuit which requires
both the plus and minus voltages. The fact that it is lighting up
says it is seeing only one - probably the plus.

Good luck.

Hi Brandon. Sounds power supply-related to me, too.

We have 30 service centers in the USA at this time. Let me know what
City/State he is in and I'll get you contact info. Or, if it is still
within the 1-year warranty, have your friend contact me directly and I'll
help arrange warranty coverage. My work contact information appears below.
