Fried two launchpads. Now what?
Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 8:27 am
In an act of sheer stupidity, I plugged my launchpads into my USB hub as usual, but then plugged the wrong wall adapter into the USB hub. Fried both of my launchpads. Gave 'em too much juice. I immediately heard a small crackling sound coming from one of 'em. And smelled that old familiar scent of toasted electronics. All the lights lit up on one of 'em, the other went totally dark.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the REALLY bad news is that I threw out the whole box when I bought my LPs, including any pertinent hardware warranty information. So I really have no idea what to do here.
Does anyone know if there's a possibility that I can get these fixed from Novation? If that's out of the question (for aforementioned reasoning of doing something totally stupid), maybe someone might know what I possibly fried and give me some tips on what to replace (Novation reps that I've seen lurking around the Ableton forum, etc)?
