Can you post any pictures of the gear?

I got the U1 cleaned up but it didn't help then I noticed this. Looks like a pretty bad solder job compared to the rest.

This could be the problem.

Thanks, I'll give that a try

So, I finally had a chance to take it apart. Here are some pictures. Everything looks solid. Maybe someone will see something I don't.

I haven't had a chance to tak it apart yet. I'm hoping for some down time tomorrow. I'll try to post pictures as I work on it in case someone sees something I don't.

The Avolite Expert Pro?

Thanks John that helps a lot. This seems to be the console I favor the most just from reading. Do you know how the Avolite Titan is compared to the Cobalt?

I'm currently using an ETC Insight 2x. It's been in the venue for nearly 20 years now and is a great board for both busking and more theatrical productions, both of which are common to the venue. It still runs very well with the exception of 2 out of 108 sub masters not working properly. The...
