I was concerned about one of my SD Cards crashing my SJ. Joe would you have any idea what would cause this? Or Line 6 Miller or any of you guys out there? The card worked fine for about 2 months and then it started apparently causing the amp to "pop and re-boot." It did this 4 times and then I just wouldn't plug it in any more. The first time it crashed was just with one of the tracks but it would read the rest of the tracks on the card. Then it crashed everytime I plugged it in. It wouldn't read anything on the card. I had the card completely filled up with backing tracks and songs. And the other full cards I have work perfectly (so far). I have been going through the rest of my cards to see if they are o.k. and they seem to be. I have about 9 other full cards. Could this be just one isolated incident with a defective card? I was concerned when I read some other folks were having the same problem. Could the WAV files I've put on there be somehow corrupted? I have owned the SJ for over a year and it is GREAT. I always do the same procedure as far as dragging the MP3's into i Tunes and converting to WAV and have been successfully doing that ever since the upgrade to 2.09 so I can rule that out. Any input/opinions/information anybody has on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
If it's only happening with one SD card, then clearly, it is the card than has gone faulty. A high percentage of chips of all kinds have faults. It's the same with hard drives. With chips, the ones found faulty at the time of manifacture are rejected but there are boderline ones that pass the initial inspection and fail some time later. Sometimes, with the correct formatting software, it is possible to 'map out' faulty memory or hard drive sectors which reduces the capacity slightly but if the fault is not with the memory but with the I/O controller, there's not much you can do.
Chuck it!
Thanks for replying, Joe. As always I learn a new bit of information from you. This is my first foray into SD cards and MP3's and WAV's and such so it has been pretty neat and enjoyable. My chops have gone through the roof with this SJ. I appreciate the peace of mind you give me with all your answers to us Spider Jam users.
Joe Gilespie is the best suport Line 6 has. And he doesn't even work for them - lucky for us Spider Jam users that we have Joe
You sure don't see Line 6 responding the way he does.
Yeah we should get a petition to put Joe on the pay-roll. I was really intimidated and confused when I bought the SJ some 19 months ago what with the big, confusing owner's manual and my own ineptitude. The forums have been invaluable to me and, in particular, Joe. Spider Jam is a great amp for practicing. I can't imagine not having one at this point.
I think my SD slot is faulty, the only way I can get it to recognize a fat 16 card is to push the card all the way into the slot so it bottoms out on the board.
I had to do this to get the FIrmware upgrade to work. Seems to be errors writing to the card at other times in its factory seated position.;
