So the last 2 gigs I’ve had the same thing happen on startup of my iDR32 – when I open Editor or MixPad I get redlines on nearly every meter (channels 9 onwards & most of the mix channels) with no inputs present, and no odd routings. When I shut it down and restart it the issue disappears – just wondering if anyone else has seen this? I’m running 1.82, and haven’t changed anything else lately to account for it.
Hopefully someone on here has seen it and can put my mind at rest, otherwise I’m obviously going to contact support as I’d hate for it to NOT come good after a reboot on a gig!!!

I assume you also mentioned this in a support ticket?

I haven’t approached support yet, thought I’d throw it out there for the community in case it’s something obvious I’m missing support is the next step

Adam,

I recently had a problem with the IDR16. the R72 surface was connected and at startup ch 1-8 showed full metering into the red. i tried to reload a show but the IDR didn’t respond anymore.
I shut it down an on reboot the idr wouldn’t boot anymore. some message ‘ boot failure ‘
I don’t want to alarm you and i don’t know if it is a similar problem but they had to replace the main board. It was gone

Regards

Lieven

Yes – support time!! The only time I’ve seen meters go on full to red at boot up and then the “boot failure” message on restart was when my mix rack died and needed a new main board. It’s definitely not a good sign Adam!!! This happened before A&H recalled units for the main board modification which hopefully prevents the cause of that failure happening again.

When was the recall of the mixracks to change mainboards?

I have a IDR48 that’s 2 years old and never had some call about that.
Maybe it was a board produced before there was a problem. Crossing fingers[]

It would be nice to stay informed of that issue, same thing happened to 2 iDR48 around here in the last two weeks.
