Just recieved a VCI-100, i have planned to use in one of my DIY projects.
Bought it from a guy from UK, here on this forum, and paid him £200..
Now i have a useless piece of c***.
The story is..
Got it today, and first thing ofcause is to hook it up, and see if everything is ok,
there is nothing to see at the first look, no scratches or other visual defects.
Connected it to my mac, and nothing really worked, the only thing working, was the crossfader, but something is very wrong, all functions are somehow interacted with eachother, and the MIDI message LED, are blinking fast, when i´m not touching anything..
Then when i opened it, all hell broke loose..
Wires are tried to be fixed with flex, and can see something got very wrong
with some amateur soldering on the PCB, some of the potmeters are soldered bad, and something looks like he is trying to replace some of the LED with no succes..
I am not new into the VCI, and know my way around the inside and
how i probely can try to fix it, so i can get it to work.
Hopefully i can replace some of the componets, and straigt out the bad soldering..
Now i can't get any answers from this guy, and i can't really do anything..
i live in Denmark and made the tranfer via paypal....
damn i'm pissed off...
