aussiejoe Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Was using the HD yesterday and all was good. Just running thru presets and didn't change anything at all. Powered it up this morning and the display is just a series of tiny black squares making up 1 big square the size of the display area. I have tried powering up holding down the left arrow but no luck. Tried connecting it to the L6 software via USB but its not finding the HD500X so I cant flash it or change anything. I don't understand how it can work perfectly one day and be dead the next without anything changing overnight. Anyone have any suggestions on a fix for this cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevevnicks Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 That dont sound to good, maybe the Flash ROM has failed or become corrupt ? which will mean sending the pod hd in for repair. how can this happen ? well it's just one of those things it should last years without any issues but sometime some electrical chips in any electrical device may have a hidden fault when it was made, that makes the part fail before its exepected time or amount of read/writes, luckly this is rare for the amount of electrical chips that are made but it can/does happen. just for an example. i had a computer work fine one day and motherboard bios chip fail the next day for no reason other than a faulty Bios chip, although i have owened and built hundreds of PC's it's the only time i can recall a bios fail for me over the past 20 years.

duncann Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 If you have another power supply to try, that might be it. Or if you can measure the output from the power supply to see if you need a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexKenivel Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Check your usb port. The center plastic square broke in mine and caused it to short out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 USB port - mine broke, too. In exactly the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiejoe Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions I dont have an alternate power supply but the one I have looks fine to me. had a look at the USB socket and its completely intact, no damage I only play at home and in reality have barely use the HD so far. Its on 13 months old (just out of warranty!).Im annoyed that something with maybe only 50 hours of use has effectively diedI created a L6 support ticket so maybe they can suggest something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
