Topic: Fireface 800 - Cycling flashing lights
Hello,
To my dismay this morning ..I boot up my DAW and load a session... the program says "audio engine is disabled" i look down at my fireface and see this : https://youtu.be/QIg7KCbz4t0
It powers up to host mode fine when hitting the on switch (solid red light), it's when the computer try's to talk with it, this happens.
I've been reading about the PSU problems these units have, this is actually a replacement unit for my original that suffered an input section malfunction about 5 years ago ... Is there any troubleshooting i can do to determine if it is infact the PSU ???
Do you think it's a possibility that the firewire 400 port ive been using for years is shot ?? is it worth getting a 6pin to 9 pin 1394b cable and trying to connect it to the computer that way ?? Is that possible ???
I don't want to spend a 100 bux shipping it to the Distributor only to have them tell me it's gonna be a $1000 dollar repair. Please help. I love my interface and would like to continue using it as it's ideal.
Help !
