I recently bought a pre-owned NDS from a reputable dealer. Got home, connected it up to my XPS-2 PS DR and the screen didn’t light up. On my NDX it pretty much lit up straight away as it booted.
Does anyone know if there could be an alternative reason for this to happen outside of it just being a faulty screen?
I suspect you gave been sold a dud. Those screens are prone to failure, and yours has probably reached the end of its life. Ask your dealer for a repair or refund.
That’s assuming the Burndy and link plug are connected correctly.
The NDS will connect automatically if you plug an Ethernet cable into it (with the other end into your modem or a switch).
Also regardless of anything else, when you turn on the mains power to your XPS, the NDS screen should show the ”splash screen” , that is the big NDS graphic, for a few seconds before it goes dark. If it doesn’t show this, then your screen is for sure faulty.
The dealer has arranged for me to send it to Naim to let them have a look at it.
While waiting for the repair, I plugged my old NDX in and listened to it for the first time connected to the XPS2 PS DR - Wow!, the difference is night and day. I just can’t wait for the NDS is returned.
