Dear Community,
i have been a happy and thankful owner of several Line6 products for around nearly 20 years now. But unfortunately some weeks ago an accident happened with my POD PRO X . As my unit is far beyond any warranty time, I would be incredible thankful, if any of you guys could give me an idea what the name of the part is I need to replace (and if that would make any sense at all).
Here is what happened:
I had been playing and editing while the POD PRO X was connected to my computer for maybe twenty minutes or half an hour or so.
What happened is that for some reason the computer didnt switch from its internal interace to the interface of the POD - which it usually always did by itself! So it must have been that both have been active at the same time. Unfortunally I was so fixated on creating effects with my headfones on that I didnt realize that circumstance. Until suddenly a really loud bang did appear. Putting my headfones off I realized that my computer did turn bluescreen and the Pods small screen was black as well. It was not possible to turn the Pod on again - it stayed dead (happily the Computer did not suffer from that). The power system in my flat was working normally - so it had to be something between computer and Pod.
Opening the unit I saw that a small piece was actually burned and actually really exploded into pieces . There was a decent but unmistakingly burned smell as well.
So, if any of you guys could give me ANY idea what that piece could have been and how to further deal with the situation I would be really really really thankful. The POD has been bought newl around 2014. If thats helpful to you - I am living in Germany.
I did attach some fotos.
Please write if some you need further ones.
THANKS !
Kind regards,
- Alex
