Topic: UFX Noise Issue w/Video
This began as intermittent and originally thought it was a fluke but my UFX is now non-functional. Analog inputs are all squealing with digital noise. This issue occurs even when nothing but the power cable is connected - all other audio/FW/USB cabling is disconnected and the same issue occurs.
In the video the USB cable is connected just so I can demonstrate that the behavior resets or changes itself when loading workspaces but this issue exists with nothing connected. When this first began, loading a few random workspaces would stop the issue, then I could load the orignal WS and get back to work but that 'fix' no longer works.

The issue has conincidentally occured at about the same age my FF800 died. The FF800 died at around the 5 year mark, that was the power supply which I subsequently rebuilt by hand to fix the issue - I'm not sure this is also a PSU issue but it's a little disconcerting that my second high-end RME device has failed with this frequency - it's getting a little expensive at this point.
Any suggestions? If there are any known issues that I can address/repair myself, please advise as I'm decently fluent in SMD reflow, soldering, PCB work and general electronics and microcontrollers - I'd really like to get this fixed since I can't justify purchasing 3 devices in 10 years due to hardware reliablity concerns.
FYI: Firmware, drivers etc. are all updated to the latest as far as I know (Firmware: 1.63)
Thanks
