There may be a secondary fuse inside the unit, if not the problem will be in the power transformer, if you are handy with a digital post back and I will give instructions on testing the transformer.
One can burn up equipment if you have powered parts of it from different sources...such as connecting things together that get their power from different receptacles. Ground bounce and fault currents of defective equipment can burn up things. You will probably have to send your unit back to the factory for repair.
As far as I know, Lexicon schematics are only available to authorized service centers. Can you describe the problem that you are having? Perhaps we can assist you with the repair?
DC-1, DC-2 an MC-1s have the same power supply. The power supply usually lasts about 5 years before it goes. A New power supply is usually about $ 65.00. There is usually a $300.00 LABOR FEE. Check out THE SERVICE BENCH in MA. Phone number is 781-769-4338.
To use the Lexicon as a 'send effect' (which is what it is) you'll need to connect the effect sends from the back of the 2488 to the inputs on your Lexicon. Then connect the outputs from the Lexicon into two inputs on the 2488. Then assign those inputs to tracks.
You've got to select the previously recorded track(s) where you want to add reverb or other effects (by pressing the select key) and then press the 'send' key to get into the 'send effect' screen. Here you can adjust the amount of signal is sent from that channel to either of the effect sends (typically you might want to send one track of a stereo set of tracks out eff 1 and send the other track out eff 2).
Pre, post or off will determine whether the fader affects the signal being sent or not and the loop setting on the top of this screen is for the internal effects.
Once you've got this set up the way you want you just arm the tracks where the Lexicon output is coming into the 2488 for recording, mute whatever you don't want to hear and you can bounce record the raw signal through the Lexicon and record (print) the effected signal on the tracks you've armed.
I've been struggling with this issue for about a week. My unit was locking up increasingly more often.
Two things I've noticed about my Lexicon interface:
1. Seems to be excessively hot.
2. The unit is not vented.
Yesterday, after reading a comment about the solder possibly being the problem, losing conductivity as the units warms up. I decided to run my Lexicon with the plastic case removed.
Since removing the the case, i have only had one instance where the sound stopped working, which i believe was a problem with Cubase in that instance.
I'm not sure if removing the case to keep the unit cooler is the solution. I may have improved a connection somewhere in the process of opening up the unit.
I can say that I went from getting a "new hardware found" message every two minutes to having virtually no problems since removing the case.
My next step will be to drill about 50 holes in the case to vent it before attempting to use the case again.
