After some more unsuccesful tries, I brought the console to my supplier. It's indeed under warranty. In their service centre, it boots up straight away under identical circumstances as my tests. Interesting but seems solved somehow...

I've got a Zero88 FLX S24 that won't boot anymore. Worked fine yesterday, today client called about a non-booting desk. I tried attaching a keyboard and get into the Startup Tools, but that will not work either. The boot LEDs do their run, then stop, screen does not come on (not even the backlight) and after the boot sequence stops, the desk does not respond, does not output DMX and not a single LED is on. I tried the PSU from my own FLX S24, but that didn't make any difference. Any tips? The desk is still under warranty so I can bring it in, but if there's an easy solution I'd prefer it.

Hi Edward, Thanks for your reply. I'll do another reset this afternoon, including the DMX universes. Think I've done that already, but who knows It's a 1 universe desk, I'll try the 5p DMX too with a converter to our 3p cabling. Cabling should be fine, was working before the update and not after the update, but I'll double check. I did patch the dimmers on universe 1, so that should work just fine. I'll try the mentioned steps and report back. I'll mail the showfile too.

I have a FLX S24 console running on a location that was closed for more than a year due to Covid. Today, we installed some new fixtures and upgraded the console to software 7.9.9 and fixture library 2.1 I reloaded my show, fixed some patching issues (generic dimmers in 7.9.9 seem to be different from generic dimmers in my file) and... no lights. I reinstalled the 7.9.9 software to be sure, didn't do the library 2.1 update, patched some generic dimmers and still nothing. There's also no DMX receive light on my dimmers. I tested with just one fixture attached directly to the console (no switches or anything, just a short cable) and still no DMX receive light or any output. The console seems not to output any DMX. I checked settings, disabled RDM and checked DMX output settings for Universe 1, they all seem fine. Also did another factory reset to be sure, still nothing. Is this a know issue? How do I fix it? I don't really care if my show is too old and can't be used, I'll reprogram it, I do like some DMX output though... 😅
