Okay, I just purchased an used American DJ Show Designer off of eBay to add to my collection of the two I already have from a while back to complete my third lighting rig. I noticed something weird about the controller when I bought it, it had some weird memory locked error. So, I unlocked the memory and wiped the memory in the controller and everything appeared to be working fine after that.
Then, I plugged it in last night to download the data from my other Show Designers via MIDI and noticed that after it was left on for about 5 minutes, the display and LEDs on the front began to slowly flicker. After doing that for a short period of time, it shut off all together. But, when I turn it off and back on it worked fine again for a while.
So, my question is, does anyone know what part could be causing this problem? Is it something I could fix (i.e. loose connection that needs to be re-soldered or something) or is it more major and should I just part out the controller? Also, if there is a part that could cause this, where are the parts located for this controller since I can't seem to find this model listed on the ADJ Parts website. Okay, well any help would be greatly appreciated!
