POD X3 Live Powers Off

Just wanted to let the Line6 community know that I have yet to find a solution to my X3 Live powering off during performances. I have only used my X3 live at our church, it hasn't been gigged, or had road wear and tear. I have recently purchased another power adapter in hopes that the old one had gone bad, and we still have the same issue. Never had a problem with it, until about 2 weeks ago. I purchased my X3 Live in May of 08' and she's been great to me. I really love the pedal, but I have to say that my Boss GT-6 has never given me any issues at all. I would like to know, what steps I should take in order to get the X3 working smooth again? Someone please generate some feedback...

 

Thanks

    Perhaps the Lord is not pleased with your performance and keeps turning it off.

     

    It must be some sort of hardware problem.  I assume that moving the switch to off and then back on brings it back on right away?  It may be a bad switch.  Depending on how handy you are and how easy it is to get the part, you could order a new switch, bust it open, remove the old switch and put in the new and see how things go.  Otherwise, take it for service somewhere.

      hahaha...that's funny. I can most definitely try replacing the power switch. I did however test the power switch and adapter and I really couldn't make the pedal shut off. So I figured it was something internal. I just updated it a few hours ago, I had it on for a while, then played on it for a while, and it never shut off. So I'm hoping now it's fixed...only time will tell. Thanks for the feedback!

        I have a similar problem. POD X3 powers off at random intervals. It might last 15-30 mins before turning off. I bought it second hand earlier in the year, and haven't been brave enough to gig with yet because of this issue, so I've only experienced it while using it as my laptop's audio interface. Sometimes it will turn itself back on, other times it will stay off. It's currently with a repair guy, but last time I spoke to him he hadn't seen it turn off. I tried reflashing it but that didn't help. I'm guessing its a corroded power switch.

    I have the exact same issue with my X3 Live.  Does anyone know if this is a known technical issue?  Does Line 6 put out technical bulletins on stuff like this?  The previous post sounds like the hardware tech can't recreate the problem.
