Got a broken Machinedrum MK1 UW in my hands.
Story: I sent my MDUW to UK via DHL. When it arrived, it wouldnt boot, the guy opened it up, reseated all cables…and it worked. For a day or two. Then it stopped working again.
We declared it broken and DHL took care of the insurance.
Today, I got the device back, and yeah, sure enough, broken it seems to be. It hangs up on logo screen.
I can access the boot menu when booting while holding Function, but test number 1 gives me this: DSP error, sticky data.

Opened it all up and even looked at all the chips; nothing looks fried or something. Tried cleaning and reseating all the connectors, too. Still the same. I cant help thinking it’s the PSU or battery, maybe…?

If anyone has anything useful to add, please do.

Well, opened up once more, cleaning every connector it has once more as thoroughly as I can. Also switched the places of some of the cables inside as they’re all similar.
As I moved to another room, I also sort of dropped the PSU on the floor. Not from mad heights, but anyways.
Now it won’t even boot anymore.
I’m guessing the PSU just finally died.
Fuck it. At least I have one more that’s working.
Time for a cold beer and newly bought Octatrack’s manual!
May look for a new PSU online if I can find one…
