Maybe add "in London" to the thread title?
not trying to be snarky, but can you do it yourself? if you already know which caps are blown, its pretty easy to swap them out with minimal soldering experience.
Good question.
It requires a specialist.
Top tip.
Thank you.
These capacitors?

No, if it where those capacitors
it would be a very simple fix.
It’s the smd’s.
Got a picture of the pcb area with the broken caps?
BTW, some mobile phone repair shops have all the equipment required to do such SMD repairs.
Good luck
I've recently swapped a SMD 44-pin QFP on a laptop by the help of enough flux, solder and a razor blade (pushed between solder pads and component connectors while heating with enough solder on it). I'm not experienced with SMDs but somehow I managed to make the thing work again.
Thank you.
I thought it was a simple fix myself
and I'd got replacement capacitors with
similar values but not the right ones
because it didn't work.
Though the mixer itself still turns on,
It literally is on the blink.
I hear you in regards to mobile phone guys
having the necessary equipment.
I personally would need a proper solder station
with a heat gun to do the job properly.
I could do it but I'd rather seek
someone who does it professionally.
If I can't find someone suitable
I will do it myself eventually.
Good point in regards to a photo of the PCB.
I will need to open it up to do that and right now
I'm in a middle of a mixing and mastering session.
I used to have exactly the same mixer, with the 8 ch expansion.
Seems like an age ago ;-)
Good luck !
It's a nice little mixer.
Thanks dude.
Indeed, I really dig the sound of it's converters... digitizes 18 bits, but keeps only the 'good' top 16 bits, resulting in a perfect data word.
Sold mine, too, but kept the expansion (for reason above)
Yup, I hear you.
I didn't get the converters though I do still
have the companion audio interface.
I still have one of the original blackfaced ADAT machines
which is why I went ADAT lightpipe in the first place.
I really like the reverbs for grungy beats and it's slightly metallic sound.
Good (and useful) gear
Absolutely, it's why I'm being so particular about getting it repaired. 😏
I recently had to replace an SMD mounted memory chip - and no experience with hot air soldering at all.
So I picked a (trash) circuit with similiar sized parts to practice. Fully focussed on the target chip I didn't notice a small capacitor also being exposed to the air stream ... until I heard a 'shot' and the projectile (formerly the cap's shell) hit my cheek. Wtf.
It had a stunning impact and could have turned out really bad if it had hit the eye.
Lesson learned...
The air gun was a totally inappropriate cheapo, but covering parts with heat resistant material helped. Solder quickly melted, the IC could be removed by pliers and was successfully replaced.
I actually did like the process and may consider a proper air soldering system (future).
Good lesson to learn.
The first time I tried a heat gun
I blew the components around the room.
I was so shocked.
It's a whole different experience from using a regular soldering iron.
I would say get a solder station, they're worth it.
I had a modification to do to a preamp that
decreased the noise level by almost 15db on the SPDIF out.
I had bought a preamp, tested it's analogue output
and then it's digital output and discovered the digital output
was way noisier than the analogue outs by almost 20db.
I thought that unusual and contacted the company.
Eventually I got talking to the president of company,
he spoke to his engineer in China and they sent
a modification for me to do.
It worked brilliantly.
Very happy.
I could order the parts for the mixer and a
soldering station but I also need a good engineer
to exchange ideas with once in awhile and it needs
a refurb.
