Hi all!

Since a few days my MFC-101 MkI doesn't power on any more... I used to use an Ethernet cable for powering the unit, but even with the original power supply it doesn't come alive.
What it does, is that several random LEDs are on, either color, and the display is glowing a little, but doesn't show any text.

What gives?

Cheers,
Benji

Hey Benji! Sorry I don't know what's happening with your MFC, but I saw you here and decided to say hi! Been a long time!
 
From the manual at:

https://www.fractalaudio.com/downloads/manuals/mfc-101/MFC-101-Owners-Manual.pdf

The reset procedure, if all else fails, is below. It removes any settings you’ve added, so you’ll have to redo those if you don’t have a backup:

13.2 Factory Default Settings Reset
WARNING: Restoring Factory Settings is DESTRUCTIVE and cannot be undone!
It is strongly recommended that you BACK UP important user data prior to using this function.
1. To restore the MFC-101 to Factory Defaults, hold down Footswitch #11 while powering up. The display will show the reset prompt while the ENTER LED flashes red:
2. Press ENTER to completely erase all user memory and restore factory settings. The display will show "Restoring..." and the ENTER footswitch LED will turn OFF. Once the restore is complete the MFC-101 will boot normally with factory-fresh settings.

Hey! Tried this, but it looks like the unit doesn't even respond to anything. Just 2 LEDs glowing faintly. I'm gonna send it in....

Dude!! Long time indeed! We're back to Germany since 5 years, going great, much teaching and a few choice gigs... Noah is crazy, btw...

Good to hear. I'm sure Noah rocks. He was rocking when he was 12! Good luck with your board! It's great to hear from you!
 
I assume you are you using the right power adapter? This is mine for MFC-mk1 north Asmerican purchase:

When using the power supply did you disconnect the Ethernet?

I'd suggest connecting nothing but the PS agreed see if it works or not.
 
Well, the unit just came back from G66, they changed a broken voltage regulator free of charge and sent it back to me at no cost....

Awesome, G66, you guys totally rock! \m/
