I'm not arguing with anyone. I'm just reporting what I see. I didn't see any dirt/dust/gunk or anything else to clean up and I didn't see any movable parts relating to the tuner. I'm sorry if I worded something incorrectly, I certainly didn't mean to offend you or to sound like a smart @$$...sometimes that just happens by accident.

I'm not sure where the dirt and grime could be hiding. The tuner "switch" is molded on a removable sheet of rubber fused with all of the other buttons in the middle of the Pod (similar to what you see when you take a TV remote control apart) that come in contact with the circuit board. There is nowhere for dirt to hide, that I could see. And unless I'm totally not understanding anything I saw today, there is no switch to change, it was all circuit board. Reformat who knows what...I was just hoping that a process like that existed. :)

I took the entire thing apart. The circuit board looks clean enough to eat off of, there wasn't anything to clean up...so much for the dirt theory. Next step is to reformat it...if that's even possible.

Never mind my second post. It's not working at all again. Obviously there are some issues there. I'll take it apart and see what I can see. I can't sell it the way it is now anyway, so what do I have to lose?

Strange...I messed with the backup Pod for a while and it seems to be working (mostly) now. Maybe it forgot what it was supposed to do after not being used for so long? *shrugs* The only strange thing is when I change it to TUNER the unit doesn't mute the output. Maybe that's a setting change from the factory rest, I've never had to mess with that. I don't know what happened, but it's fixed...for now. But if anyone has any theories I'd be happy to hear them.

Hi. I've owned a Pod 2.0 for many years but I didn't have a floorboard until about a year ago when I purchased one on eBay. There was a Pod 2.0 unit included in the floorboard auction. I kept it as a spare since I had all of my settings on the Pod I already owned. I tested everything when I first received it and as far as I knew at that point it all was working fine (both the board and the Pod). I'm now thinking about selling this extra Pod so I'm trying it out to make sure it still works. Well...much to my surprise it doesn't! It started out fine but after a few minutes it switched to TUNER mode on its own. I thought that was strange, so I turned the tuner off by switching to a bank. It worked fine for a few more minutes but switched to TUNER mode again. It's a very intermittant kind of thing, sometimes it switches right away and sometimes it waits several minutes. And now in addition to that issue, it's acting like it's not getting any INPUT signal. When it does switch to TUNER it shows only a dash and it does not register that it hears any notes whatsoever. If I switch it to one of the banks there still is no sound output. I've tested the cables as well as my working Pod (and made sure my guitar volume was up) and everything works fine until I switch out to the backup Pod. I made sure the OUTPUT LEVEL is not at zero on the Pod and I've also turned, flipped and switched every available knob and button to see if something perhaps got dirty or wet or whatever while it was sitting on my shelf for the last year...no changes. It's now a soundless Pod that switches to TUNER mode all by itself. I did a factory reset (holding down UP and DOWN while powering up) but that made no difference. I didn't see that this issue was brought up here before, but maybe someone has some thoughts. If you do, please let me know! Thanks.
