My Pod XT turn off and on alone, why??

[tuato 0]

Hi, i've got a POD XT and  few days ago started to turn off and on alone. I've changed the usb cable, and i've downloaded the lastest drivers and firmware via  monkey, but it still happens. Anyone here could tell me why is this, and how can i solve it??

 

Thanks in advance.

My first guess whenever a computer based device is restarting by itself is heat. 

 

Do you have the XT in a drawer or other enclosed space? Is it particularly hot in your neck of the world right now? Do you have it in close proximity to other gear that generates heat, even a little bit? 

 

Litmus test = pout it on a table or desktop with nothing near it, put a little fan on it, and play for a few, see if it still restarts.

Power chord could be shorting.   Check where the chords go in and out of the transformer.  That's where mine shorted.
