Grace Digital Mondo Repair

The Grace Digital Mondo saw its release in 2011. With a clear color LCD screen for navigation, as well as combining a 3-inch subwoofer with a powerful 1-inch tweeter, the Mondo has been a popular Grace Digital product, even as newer and more powerful internet radio platforms have been released. It is distinguished by its division, with the left half devoted to its speaker systems and the other half devoted to user input. It also has a cavity on the rear for an optional battery pack add-on.

As of September 2021, service for this device was discontinued, along with other models made between 2007 and 2017.

==Additional Information==

The headphone jack can wear out, I found a replacement.

I use my Grace Digital Mondo with earphones often, and it finally stopped working. It would cut the speaker off when plugged in, but one day it did not restore the speaker when I unplugged it.

After taking the Mondo apart, and separating the two boards, the one with the display has the ear phone jack. It can be easily taken out by anyone with good soldering skills. I used a hot air tool that I often use on surface mount parts, but you can easily solder suck the pins to remove the old jack.

The replacement part that fit like a glove, came from Digikey. With the help of one of their parts locators, I measured the parts pin spacing and general description, and the part I got fit like a glove. Part # CPI-3525NG-ND

This part will not have gren on the neck, but it will do everything the old part did, and fit perfectly in the board. My mondo is back in service. The part cost under a dollar.

The Grace Digital Mondo has a glossy black plastic case with a fabric speaker cover on the left half of the front of the device. The right side of the front panel contains a small display with control buttons below it and a column of buttons to the left of the screen. The casing can be difficult to open due to its design.

A small Grace Digital logo is printed near the bottom center of the fabric cover. To identify your device, look for the label on the bottom of the radio, where the model and serial numbers are printed.
