Help! Faulty MCS2000
Hi all,
I have recently bought an Model II Remote MCS2000 UHF Radio. It is quite an early model.
It powers on, gets though self test and all the buttons work fine. Transmit is fine with both power and audio.
The problem is there is no backlight on the display and no receive audio. The is no TX/RX LEDs either.
I have tried another control head and that is not the problem.
Anyone know about this type of fault. I would like to try fixing it myself before sending it to Moe.
Thanks, Dom

Is there audio when you press the buttons & such? Just curious if you might have a blown audio PA module...possibly among other things.

The internal speaker jumper should be between pins 1 & 2. I do believe I have seen your same problem when the audio PA blows in a certain way...it must drag down the voltage from a regulator or something similar. Replacing it has always fixed things for us.
It's also a possibility that the accessory plug has the jumper in the incorrect position I guess, as I have seen very similar issues when the external speaker wires have become pinched & shorted to each other as well.
