I figured that I'd post this question here as I know that there have been some good G24 threads on here in the past.
I have a slightly sick G24 which I'm sure was working better when I last tried it a few months ago. Some of the issues are down to the notorious capacitors on the audio cards and, while I'm not usually a fan of wholesale recapping, I've just taken delivery of 600 replacement capacitors so I'll be busy with the soldering iron over the next few weeks.
However, I was wondering whether anyone might have come across another issue that I'm seeing? The meters flicker rapidly whenever there are more than about 3 LED's alight on a channel - and sometimes just when a single LED is alight on some channels. The power on sequence shows that all LED's are working and the rest of the control panel seems fine so I think the problem must lie at the other end in the main machine. For those that don't know the G24, as far as I can work out, the analogue meter signals go into a multiplexer where 4 channels are multiplexed into one which is fed to an ADC so that only digital information is sent to the control panel.
So I thought I'd ask whether anyone has seen this flickering meter behaviour and managed to fix it?
