Djx, Yes, I am using a surge protector for all of my equipment. I have
been using the soundcraft as the entire sound for my computer as well
as for recording. The system was on and running fine. I had been doing
some recording and decided to take a lunch break. While eating lunch,
I kept hearing a strange sound coming from my studio. When I ran in
there, the board was constantly trying to turn it's self on and the
behavior has continued ever since. No one was anywhere near the system
when it started to malfunction. These items that you mentioned in your
last note, are they in my computer or in the soundcraft board? Please
forgive me, as I'm a bit of a dummy when it comes to this technology.
I'm just trying to determine if the problem is in my board or the
computer. I've got a friend coming over today to connect it to a
diferent computer, and we'll see what happens there.
Thanks for all of your advice.

that or the USB EC (embedded controller).
When and how did this start happening? Are you running all your equipment on
power conditioners? Or at least true surge protectors at the minimum?

Djx, when I connect the usb cable from the board to my computer, it
continually tries to turn it's self on. I keep hearing the double tone that
signifies a successful installation, but it just keeps doing that over and
over again. Without any usb connection, I can plug a mic or guitar or my
keyboard in to any channel on the soundcraft, and it works perfectly fine. I
can use the eq and all the effects and everything. I just can't seem to
connect the usb so that I can use the board in sonar. I have tried several
cables, power cords and diferent usb ports on the computer. All with no
change in behavior. Mike and I have considered several diferent senarios,
and are leaning now toward a problem with the power supply inside the
soundcraft. I really love this board, and hope I can get it fixed, as I
really can't afford a new one. I am wondering where to find the cerial
number on this board?
I'm going to call soundcraft tec support today and see what I can
determine.
I have put a thumb drive in all usb ports and they work just fine.
I've got a friend coming over with a laptop and we'll try to connect the
board to that and see what happens.

Okay list, I have tried a thumb drive in all of my usb ports and they
work just fine. My computer is working normally and the clock is
keeping time. It's looking like the issue is in the board's power
supply. Can this be fixed or do I need another board?
