I had another thought as well. Somewhere back in this thread, someone had contacted Lawrence and he stepped them through using the built-in reset. I don't remember who it was, but I remember the story. Have you tried anything like a reset with it yet? Also, are all the red lights lit on the mainboard and headboard? Thanks!

Ok, that sounds right. I don't know the procedure for doing a "reset", other than just pushing it.

The previous post #563 mentions the reset process as presented by Lawrence to Krendopolis:

If you want to use it as a preamp you need a cable to convert from the headphone jack to rca inputs on your amp (most likely). That same cable is what most people would be using to connect their computer to their stereo or to convert any headphone signal to stereo rca and costs only a few dollars. Not trying to offend anyone if that seems too basic to be posting here. I was going to buy a nicer cable just for that purpose before my zero stopped functioning  Lawrence has contacted me, unfortunately his ideas are things I've already done: ie push the reset button on the inside, leave the unit unplugged for a day to see if the caps discharge and it resets itself. The unit seems to function fine as far as powering up, switching inputs etc but bottom line no sound. |
Evidently Lawrence recommended pushing the reset button on the inside board and unplugging the unit for a day to discharge the caps.
It is worth a try if you have the time.

BTW, I am just curious but did you notice a smell coming from your Zero when the accident occurred?
Often you will smell something burning briefly if there is an electrical short of some sort in the component. This might indicate that you have a board problem and may not be something a reset would fix.
With all red lights on the board being lit, my hope is that there is an easy fix for you!

Krendopolis was a new hi-fier and only had 6 posts. He has not posted since the end of the year and last indicated that he was sending the unit to Lawrence to have it repaired. he has not posted since so we don't know the results.
Could try to pm him and ask about it.

Ow, I remember him! He was having a heck of a time. Driving something other than headphones with the headphone amp as I recall. He pretty much killed his unit and no one could help him. I hope he got a replacement!!

Mines not behaving wel either, that aside, I did notice that if I push the preamp button now (to light up the Phone LED) the volume to my LittleDot MKV is adustable with the volume on the Zero, it didnt do that before, only since I have installed the LT1364's

That's a new one for sure! What happens when you power off and power back up? Does it reset itself to normal behavior?
