Using a sharp "X-acto" type knife, cut the conductor at points `XL' and `XR'. Be careful to cut all the way through the conductor, and do not cut any nearby traces. Add a jumper from point `YL' to the square pad at point `XL' and from point `YR' to the square pad at point `XR'. Check your work very carefully, then put the bottom cover back the way you found it.

If you think your 1202-VLZ PRO has a problem, please do everything you can to confirm it before calling for service. Doing so might save you from the deprivation of your mixer and the associated suffering. Of all Mackie products returned for service (which is hardly any at all), roughly 50% are coded "CND" -- Could Not Duplicate, which usually means the problem lay somewhere other than the mixer. These may sound obvious to you, but here's some things you can check: REPAIR Service for the U. S. version of the 1202-VLZ PRO is available only from Mackie Designs, located in sunny Woodinville, Washington. (Service for mixers living outside the United States can be obtained through local dealers or distributors. ) If your mixer needs service, follow these instructions: 1. Call Tech Support at 1-800-258-6883, 9am to 5pm PST, to explain the problem and request an RA number. You must have a Return Authorization number, or we may refuse the delivery. Set aside the power cord, owner's manual, or anything else that you'll ever want to see again. When you call for the RA number, please let Tech Support know if you need a new box. Mackie is not responsible for any damage that occurs due to non-factory packaging. [. . . ] Don't use the "conveniently located" receptacle thoughtfully provided by the management for your use. Use it to tell you if the outlet you're about to plug into is wired correctly. If you carry enough equipment that you need to wire directly into the electrical service, then use a voltmeter to ensure that the line voltage is correct, then use the outlet tester mentioned in #3, above. Chances are that your 120V gear won't be too happy if it sees 220V for any length of time. [. . . ]
