(see also p.4) NEXO TDcontrollers don’t provide a mean to switch off the unit from the front panel. As they are intended to be rack mounted the back panel is not accessible during use. Therefore it is left to the user to provide a disconnection mean readily operable.

Removing the top panel First be sure that the NX242 is disconnected from the mains. Wait 5 minutes to discharge the capacitors To remove the top panel; unscrew the 11 screws circled in red in the above drawing (POZIDRIVE screwdriver).
Crackles on the outputs patched on the A Input of the NX242 that can be very audible. Blinking of the Sense green LED even without amplifier connected. Please note that in case of emergency it is always possible to use the B input of the NX242 that does not present noise.

Now have a closer look on the component U5401. This component has a traditional capacitor, that can be blue or orange soldered between the pin 2 and the pin 8, as you can see on the picture bellow. NEXO NX242 DIGITAL TDcontroller Service manual rev100606...
Page 9
Please note that the color of the capacitor has no importance. Now, please check the manufacturer of the U5401 component. From NX242 serial number 3200 to 3879, the component should be a Texas Instrument, and from serial number 3880 to 4049, the component should be a Philips.
Page 10
If you have a Texas component, you must have the capacitor between the pin 2 and the pin 8 of U5401. Once this operation is finished, replace the cover of the NX242, with all of the screws, as they are important for the shielding of the digital section of the controller.
The solution is to connect to a fixed potential a pin on the Nxtension board which was left floating. Hardware correction First and foremost, be sure to disconnect the NX242 from the mains before opening the top cover. Once the top cover of the NX242 is open, you can directly do the hardware correction on the Nxtension-board itself.

Bellow is a side view of the soldering: a hard wire is the best solution has it will be less sensible to vibration. Once it is done, screw the cover back, and check that the NX is booting normally. Check that the audio is passing through without any problem. NEXO NX242 DIGITAL TDcontroller Service manual rev100606...
