    My 002 is doing the same thing. I have had the unit for 2 years. It used to do it once in a while, but now it won't boot up at all. Once every 50 times I reset it, it will start properly and then in the middle of a session it will crash and the mute button light remains on. I noticed the optical light on the rear panel flashes on and off with the clicking as well as the Firewire link light. I also made the mistake of upgrading to OSX 10.4.11 and cannot install the previous combo update. Regardless, I have Panther on another partition and the 002 still wont work.


    Any help would be great Thanks

    Same problem.  I had the problem about a year ago and tried everything I knew. I had pretty much given up, and click, click, click one of the green sample rate lights lit up and it was fine.  Last weekend, again when powering up just the red mute light; no green sample light. (There are three to indicate sample rate but only one should be on at a time.)  I have tried to restarting and letting it rest to fix itself but no luck.  I am dead in the water.   I can't find anywhere how to do a factory reset.  Anyone know this?

Easy. Your clock got screwed by one of your audio programs in you system. It Happens when sample rates are mixes up. Leave your digi 002 on it does not set itself other than the factory sample rate setting when primarily switched on, which will remember its last setting if mixed up in an attempt to recover. Leave it on turn your system on. Then turn your system off. Not the digi. just your pc, mac. The software utilizing the previously screwed up sample rate will or should be reset. thus resetting your digi 2 to its factory 44. If it does not work check your software settings for any audio software set as default to run when pc is started ans make sure they are set to play back 44. Never turn your pc off when a program using your digi faulters.

Ive heard the 002 have a latent click after hitting the power button. There was a known fault recognized by digidesign, if the unit is under warranty, call digidesign for support.


Keep me posted.

My Digi 002 Rack is "Clicking" (the actual unit).

Hi
First thing to do is a hard reset. Merely unplug the power cord for 4 hours, then power up again.In order to dissipated the remaining current stored in the memory and disconnect all unit connected.

Hi i have digi design rack 002 with pro tools le

Try the other port on the 002. If that doesnt work, I recommend trying the 002 on a computer that does have 400 to see if it will connect then.

If it doesnt, then you may have a couple blown firewire chips inside your 002. It happens, and can be fixed.

How do i clean the dc power? what is that?

I think you're referring to a problem that's known with Digi 002 Rack where the power harness oxidizes and loses power connection over time.

Digi used to send you a new power harness & contact cleaner to make sure that doesn't happen again. You should contact their customer service if you're having an issue with it.

Macbook pro does not detect digi 002 rack

yeah i have an intel imac and had the same problem. I upgraded to pt le 7.4 and now pro tools recognizes the 002 rack and it works fine, but still the core audio manager does not recognize the hardware. It says in "use" when I first turn on the 002 rack, then it says not connected after about 20 seconds. I don't think this really matters though because I have beeen able to do everything fine without having the core audio managr recognizing the 002 rack. I hope that helps
