i had a lot of troubles because on the forum someone wrote he diconeted the moterboard in the computer cos it would be a waste to let it just it turn on and do nothing i thought he was right and did the same but no worky from the software that is why i bought a second d8b because marcs software did not work with the with the first one tried it on the second one worked like a charm until i diconected the motherboard again i thought to my self wtf happend but i inmediatly understood that the motherboard must be conected for it all to work.
now i had two working consoles i used 1 of them but after two months the faders whent down nothing worked i replaced it by the second d8b
but i wanted to repair the first one anyway ofcourse
after some searching the forum getting awnsers here and there the first thing was replacing the rail capacitors after that i put it all back together still no signal i thought well i tried and put it aside then it stood here for a year under a cloth
last month we got a d&r orion here that needed repair the repair man came fixed it and while he was here he messured the voltage to al the boards in the d8b
now i knew the problem was on the board under the metal plates where the pan en buttons are once i got that out
i was looking at the fader conecters and left above one of the conectors another capacitor was blown i replaced it and have it running again
and this what over the last 4 years still love the workhorse
