    Have you tried setting it back to factory-defaults?

        Which includes re-flashing the firmware??

         

        It would seem to me that when you last updated the firmware, that the process did not complete successfully for some reason and that until your HD400 has a complete firmware installation loaded, it will continue to display the problem you are experiencing.

         

        Resetting to factory defaults (or a Factory Restore as it's called in the manual - i.e. holding down foot switch A whilst you power the unit on) on the POD HD400 is a different process to re-flashing the firmware.  I just want to be clear on exactly what you have done.

         

        If the firmware update process is not working correctly, it might be computer related.  If you can, try a different computer, different USB cable, different (preferably rear panel) USB 2.0 port, and absolutely NO generic USB hub in the chain.

          Re: dsp boot failed.

          I have the same problem. PODHD400 simply won't start up. it says "DSP boot failed" so i took your advice and tried plugging it in to the rear usb port in my pc, but when i try to reinstall the firmware/update the flash memory again, it wont let me because my computer says it is not connected. It's kind of hard to explain so i"ll do my best. My computer recognizes that something has been plugged into the usb port but when i look at Line 6 Monkey, it tells me that my PODHD400 is not connected, therefore i cannot reinstall anything or update anything. Originally it said there was an error in the installation and i was instructed to power off then power on my POD. Immediately after following these instructions, it just displayed the "DSP boot failed" message then went blank. I'm 99% sure this is the reason it is malfunctioning. Sorry if im sounding redundant, i just want to eliminate any possibilities f misunderstanding and/or misinterpritation. I'm scared... I love my PODHD400, and i would hate to lose it. Please help me...please...
