Nepex Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yesterday we had a pretty bad storm. When I got home from work one of my monitors was dead and the pod was nonfunctional only showing a line 6 logo for a few seconds then fading out and back in. I've tried powering on with each of the nav buttons held hoping for a hard reset but no luck. I've had the unit for around 4 years and it was new when I bought it. I'm convinced it's fried but wanted to ask if there's anything else I could try. Also, it was plugged into a surge protector if that matters.

NBell Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Hey Nepex, Sorry to hear about that. Two things, Have you tried another power source? To factory reset the POD HD you're going to want to re-flash your unit via Monkey. Here is a video tutorial just incase: http://line6.com/support Let us know if this helps. Thanks!

Nepex Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Okay, I tried a different power source. No luck When I go into Line 6 Monkey it's not detecting my pod. I see this: Trying to install/re-install drivers doesn't change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any other things plugged into it when you power it up? Randomly, if I have my Variax connected to the HD500, and the HD500 is connected to the computer via USB when powering it up, it goes through that cycle, but if I simply disconnect those things, it powers up fine.

Nepex Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Yes, I have tried it with only the power plugged in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Also, it was plugged into a surge protector if that matters. That;s scary. I thought I was protected but I guess if the surge is big enough I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eenymason Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 That sucks dog's balls. I sometimes kowtow to my partner's (fire-phobia driven) insistence to unplug stuff when it's not in use. Not just switch it off at the wall, but unplug as well. I gotta say, I'm far more scared that a piece of kit is going to be fried at the main PCB, than the house burning down. I guess whichever way you look at it, it's better to be safe than.....toast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepex Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Oh well, I just ordered a microcube so I can still jam at least. Looks like I'm done recording for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
