bus power upgrade
all externally powered monome devices are eligible: 128 and 256, walnut with orange lighting. performance or brightness will not be compromised in any way. we even designed a new aluminum side plate without the power hole for seamless modification. there are several methods to upgrade:
1. do it yourself
full instructions with photos here.
this upgrade kit includes the capacitor (470u), wire (stripped to length), and plate. of course, you could source your own parts and do this upgrade yourself without our kit.

$10. shipping $5 US, $15 international.

2. ship us your logic board
remove your logic board yourself and ship it to us for modification and testing. as an additional service we’ll flash the firmware with the newest version (which removes a momentary start of the “sleep animation” at boot in addition to a key tracking optimization.) new aluminum side plate included.
disassembly instructions here.

$35. shipping $5 US, $15 international.

after you’ve paid we’ll e-mail you a prepaid UPS label (fully insured) that you print and attach to your very well-packed box. please do not send us packing peanuts (seriously). since this is a high-value shipment you’ll need to drop it off at a UPS counter or to a UPS driver in person. you’ll get a signed receipt, which is important to have in case something goes wrong in shipping. don’t skip this. you will not be reimbursed if something goes wrong and you don’t have a signed receipt.
we’ll return ship via UPS within one week of package receipt.
thanks for your continuing support!
