I need some advice as to a problem I'm having with my portable Behringer monitor. It's the one with the mp3 player built-in.
A few times now when trying to use it for a gig, I plugged it in, no power coming on. Tried all different things, changing plugs, checking the mains, switched power leads etc. to no avail. Both times now when bringing it back home & plugging the thing in, it all lights up fine, all working fine no problems. Very strange, seems to have mind of its own.
Any thoughts?

intermittant operation....these types of problems do seem to have a mind of there own.
a rubber mallet, a closed fist, a swift kick, or simply lifting a corner and dropping it may reveal whether or not it's a loose connection that's going open when transporting it.
if it doesn't respond to physical shock stimulus then it's an even deeper rabbit hole.

Tks for the Reply
Turk, thanks for taking the time to reply, I'll try out tips you suggested, makes sense about when transported something could shift inside I guess to unbalance it somehow.
Cheers!

And don't ignore the possibility of the power connections you use at a gig are not the same as at home.
hey Slim how's the pickens (sorry i just needed to say that)
any result/conclusions/observations about your power problem or did you "widlarize" the thing.

Ha, good one Turk! Pickens going well!
Haven't been able to do anything on it at the moment but will be using it in a few days time so I'll see how it goes. Appreciate your comments.

Hi Turk
Wanted to update you on the Behringer problem I had. Found out it was condensation, not keeping it aired out properly after use for one, making sure it's in an even temperature environment, not hot & cold extremes. In keeping an eye out with that it's working fine. So all's well for now.

I used to have a lot of problems with disco dual cd players with condensation.
They often would skip on the first few tracks at a gig.
I also had a washing machine that refused to work in a damp outhouse.
The damp got into the electronics and upset them.
