In an effort to clean up my signal, I purchased the DC distro. It will not power my MemPal. Am I missing something?

The MemPal needs to draw -12v current, so you still need to connect the Eurorack cable along with the barrel connector.

Interesting. So it will prioritize the +12 from the wall wart?

Correct, LZX added that because the MemPal pulls at least 1amp of +12v, which would overload many Eurorack power supplies with additional modules in, say, a 6U 104hp footprint.

I’ve probably read that years ago, but thank you very much for that info.

Unfortunately it just now stopped booting altogether, so I’m on to another conversation.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s something minor.

DC bistro didn’t really help my mempals either, but I do love it for powering gen 3 modules cleanly.
