Black screen, not boot

hello,

Suddenly, the machine drum stopped, and when I rebooted, only the black screen came out.

I tried to reset the factory by entering test mode, but there was no response.

What’s the problem and how do I fix it?

It could be that interconnections between the circuit boards have come loose. You could open up the MD to ensure that they are connected.

I suggest that you make a support ticket on Elektron’s website to get their advice before going any further.

maybe your internal battery is dead.

I bet it is

If the battery were low and there were no other problem, I would expect to see the low battery warning on the MD’s screen.

thank you for reply.

In test mode, dsp1 doesn’t work. Everything else is ok. Where should I check?

Ask Elektron!

Just in case anybody else has this exact issue. I followed Peter’s advice and reset all the cables between the boards. Even the big ribbon on in the middle even though none of them looked loose. It
fixed the issue and the MachineDrum can boot again.

Thank you Peter :smiley:
