Pardon me if this is in the wrong newsgroup.

Has anyone had problems with a Digidesign Control 24 meter bridge? There's
local studio that has one acting up on them. I've isolated it to the
"External Sources In" connector.

When first powered up, the first 8 channels of VU levels remain at full
until I hold the cable up. After that the meters are going crazy and
certainly not in sync with the audio coming through unless I play with the
connection on the back.

By holding the cabling up (and summarily duct taping it to the underside of
the shelf) I can keep it steady enough to make it through a session. The
whole appearance seems to be maybe solder connection related, but it would
seem rather daunting to pull it all apart and not find the beast.

Looking for a possible direction. Contacts have all been cleaned on the
external connectors, cables have all been checked thoroughly, and when the
cable isn't plugged in, it still does the same thing until I manually flex
some of the panels close to it.
