I am,
a few weeks ago we had a blackout. it was not a nromal blackout, but there were crazy oscilations. ran to my PC and unpluged everything. not sure why, but I even unpluged all the cables from my PC which are not power.
Next I "found out that the blackout had fried my TC Electronic Konnekt 24D" (more on that later).
I wasn't too sad since I wanted to upgrade anyways and all the buttons/pres were allready noisy (btw: I still have a very old M-Audio interface wich has clean pres up to today).
So I baught a (used) Moto Traveler Mk3. I was so happy when it arrived. Didn't work. What? only now I realized that what broke my Konnekt was me pluging the firewire cable inverted (It shouldn't be possible, but it is when the ins get worn)....AND that I destroyed the Moto the same way on the first plug. I wouldn't plug those cables without looking in the past, but all the USB cables I pluged over the years got me to the habbit of just plugging without checking...if it is wrong you just turn it around.
Later I baught a new firewire chip. I found a guy to solder it for me, and now the device is completly dead
. It was still working as a standalone device without the Firewire. now it wont even turn on.
The saga continues as it could only be a small thing now. But I am a little hesitant as I could be loosing even more money trying to fix it.
I am stupid
