dsouzaba Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Just purchased a G50 and opened it up today. My transmitter does not seem to be communicating with the receiver at all. When I power up I get the green status bars then red but they quickly go away and then there are no bars showing for transmitter status. The transmitter itself is showing audio transmission with the green LED but I am not getting any Sound across the system. I tried multiple channels and nothing. Any suggestions before I return the unit? When I plug a hard cable I get sound through my signal chain so the issue isn't with my patch cables. Also just noticed my receiver power LED is not on while this is occurring but I do have the red audio LED on the receiver. As soon as the transmitter status bars go off, so does the audio LED but then the power LED comes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboomer Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Have you switched over to RF1 operation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsouzaba Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Actually yes I just flipped it over to RF1. Different set of displays but still no sound. on the receiver, upon power up i now get a sustained set of green LEDs for the transmitter signal at the top and bottom, red LED for audio, and no LED for power. Eventually, it goes to all green LEDs on the bottom for transmitter signal, the that goes away and I get red LEDs on the top for transmitter signal. Audio LED stays red the whole time and the power LED does not illuminate at all. Transmitter seems to be working fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dboomer Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 You may have a defective unit. Will your dealer simply swap it for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsouzaba Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 They have sent a replacement unit. Might arrive tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsouzaba Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ok received my new unit and was having similar problems. I then tried plugging into a wall outlet using the supplied power supply and it worked fine so the issue must be do to the power supply on my board. I am using a Voodoo Lab Mondo. I am plugging into a high amperage 9V port. I am using the high output 9V DC port rated for 400mA or less so figured that would be fine since according to the adaptor for the G50, it is rated at 0.2A. Any suggestions? My power supply does have a courtesy outlet I could use but the horizontal design of the Line 6 adaptor plug makes it not fit under my board's tier.

dsouzaba Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Ok got it working. Not sure what changed but I unplugged from the port and re-plugged again and it is working now. I am a happy man. I believe the problem with the first unit was I was running from a 100mA port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
