I guess. But not real interested in shipping it back for repairs. Hoping it is a simple components swap plus new battery since its old and case will be opened. Anyone have similar with older unit. It has been rock solid for a long time. No complaints.contact support.fractalaudio.com
no one on the forum can help you with this most likely. we are just customers. some staff is here, but they'd point you to support as well if you need to get the part. maybe they won't tell you to ship it back.I guess.

support would know the best answer, that's all i'm trying to say.
As title says the display has changed so the text is very dim and there is now a little fan noise. This is a gen 1 unit and the case has never been opened. How best to proceed? Obviously no warranty and I am ok around electronics.
I have an Axe-Fx MK-I and the display went fuzzy and dim. It was a loose ribbon connector. I re-seated the connector and it’s been fine ever since.
As for the fan noise, could be the bearings. Just like a PC fan, they eventually get noisy and sometimes seize up. I don’t hear a peep from mine, I replaced it with a Noctua fan. Here’s a link to some pics I took of the process.

Agreed - the text on my display was very faint - I re-seated the ribbon connector and it fixes it - the only problem for me is that it must keep pushing itself out - because it only lasts for like a week - then it goes back to being dim... I have pretty much conceded because I refuse to take it out of the rack and open it up every week.
I can't remember what it looks like inside, but have you thought about using a couple dabs of silicone to hold it in place? You could even try some electrical tape or even a tie-wrap.
That may be normal for 100%. Try adjusting the setting until until text is easiest to read.This is with contrast at 100%
