Last month, I noticed my Pod HD500 was intermittently disconnecting with my computer and the USB port was loose. Taking a closer inspection, I noticed one pin inside de port was broken.
Trying to solve the issue, I looked up in the net, including this forum, to repair it (I live in Portugal and there’s only one Line 6 representative for the entire Europe (!))
I was surprised with the number of people who had the same problem.
I followed some advices from videos I watched, and opened my Pod and replaced the USB port (not easy, but I managed it).
Also surprisingly, I noticed a lot of people complaining about the power supply input. Mine was also broken.
I took the opportunity and replaced it also.
My question is: Is Line 6 using cheap parts or it’s just me embarrassing?!...
Most probably, Helix won’t be in my buying list.
