My Spider IV 150 Combo has done this several times over the last few months. My 12 month waranty is up next month so I need to get this thing in this week.

Spider IV 150 Combo - Re-boots / Volume drops and then comes back up

I have had my 150 for several months and have probably played it 20 hours or less inside my house. Every few times that I use it, the amp will reset all by it self. Today, the volume dropped down very low and would not change by increasing the volum knob. I turned off the amp and back on and the volume was back but very loud since I had adjusted it prior to turning it off. No too happy considering I paid $499 for this amp and have barely used it.

Re: Pod X3 live shuts itself off..

My power switch was causing mine to shutdown or not turn on. I sprayed contact cleaner / lubricant in it (around the sides of toggle) and it solved the problem. I assume that the contacts were not making good contact causing higher resistance.

This is typical for contacts to do this, some more than others.

Re: My Pod X3 is becoming useless! Help!

Spray contact cleaner into the power switch (plastic safe cleaner). Mine was doing the same thing and now is perfect... Use a cleaner with lubricant. Good for guitar pots as well.

Spray some "plastic safe" contact cleaner/lubricant into the switch. It took care of my problem instantly. My switch was failing about 1 out of 3 times. The pedal would buzz and the lights were dim with no LCD. That is what made me think that the contacts were dirty and causing a high resistance. My background is electrical engineering and used to repair electronics down to the component level, so I have experience with these types of failures. I would doubt that a firmware issue would cause a failure like this..
