I got it up and running as a controller for ProTools and Logic Pro which is good. The bad news is I spoke to Tascam service department and parts department. Service said it can be anything from a bad ribbon to a bad main circuit board. Somewhere between $200-$700 possibly in parts. Fortunately there’s a service center 20 minutes away. They can look at it and tell me what is needed for $70. When time and money permits, I’ll roll it up there. I’m working on a partial refund since I have invested $160 already. They insist that it worked perfectly when they shipped it but that’s somewhat hard to know if the screen wasn’t working. And it wasn’t when they shipped it. Lol..oh well.
To be continued.
Thank you all...blessings!
