hello to everybody!

I recently started to have the same problem with my spider III 75. Only it's way out of warranty, I purchased it in 2008 from a Romanian dealer, but I only used it in my livingroom! There are no services in Romania, the closest is in Ankara, Turkey!!!

Any help will be highly appreciated, I don't want to throw it away...

I feel your pain! Here's a document that points you in the right direction for ordering parts: http://line6.com/support/docs/DOC-1606

I'm reminded of the last time I went to buy an inexpensive DVD player to replace the defunct one in my living room. Spent the whole day - 3 trips, first one to Target, then 2 to Best Buy to get a $50 player! First one had a bad color output section - everything was shades of red. Second one had no picture output at all!

My 2008 Nissan truck had to have almost every engine sensor replaced in the first 2 years - luckily still under warranty.

Sorry you are having problems with your amp (again). Back when it first happened, I woudl have suggested taking advantage of the warranty and bringing it to a servic center for evaluation. Now that the warranty is expired, you can pay to have a service center look at it, or buy components (like a motherboard) randomly in an attempt to solve the problem.

Unfortunately, products age and all manufactures put a time limit on their warranties - most consumer electronics these days only give a 3 month or 6 month warranty.

I'm experiencing the same reset problem as described by magpie with my Spider IV 75. I'm averaging about 1 reset per hour of playing the last few days. It's not predictable as to when it happens. Since this is just a hobby for me, I'm not going to give it up for several weeks for a repair shop to troubleshoot/repair. If Line 6 determines the cause of these resets and can confirm a 'fix', then I'll give it up for repair.

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.
