Hi, all,
I heard buzz about the new Mk II firmware update for older Spider V models and thought I'd give it a chance with my Spider V 20.
I couldn't find any downloads for this firmware update under the Spider V 20 category, which should have discouraged me from proceeding. However, a different thread showed the firmware update listed under the Spider V 240HC. Assuming the download listings were just quirky, I decided to download that update and install it via the Line 6 Updater. I had to manually select the file for the updater to install it.
The updater didn't complain, just installed the firmware and restarted my amp. However, the update seems to have broken my amp--when I turn it on, it crackles a few times, and all three FX buttons are orange. Neither my Spider V Remote nor my Line 6 Updater software will recognize that the amp is plugged into my machine.
I have tried two methods of factory resetting that I could find online:
1. Hold down all three FX button and press Save.
2. Hold down FX2 and FX3 and press Save.
Neither method worked.
Have I bricked my amp? If not, is there some info about resetting it that I'm missing?
