FBV Shortboard suddenly crashed and unresponsive?

I have so far been very happy with my FBV SHORTBOARD MKI, but just yesterday I turned the amp on with the board connected and the board suddenly became unresponsive, the screen is on, but for some reason the backlight isnt. When I power it up the board gets stuck on the line 6 startup screen until something is changed on the amp itself. at which point, the board shows exactly what it would normally show but the board does absolutely nothIng when you try to change anything on the board. the screen and lights do change, however when you change something on the amp. I calibrated the board and that worked fine, indicating to me that it is not the buttons.

 

THANKS :)

    It appears that there may be a problem with the Shortboard, so I would suggest testing the board with another compatible Line 6 amp (if you can).  This will let you know if there is a problem with the pedal.

       

      You should also check to see if the connecting pins for the RJ45 connection are bent which could cause problems like this.  The pins for the CAT5 connection should all be straight and not touching each other.

       

      If it is a hardware issue, you will need to take it to an authorized service center to take a look:
