sjase777 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Hi, Think i have some non working buttons (looper) on my HD500. Did the button test - see attached images - one line says '1s' - I assume this means that it is on, and should be on '0' before any buttons are pressed? Can't seem to find anything online about this test - does anybody know? If the button isn't working - is it a matter of undoing the allen key of the button and spraying some contact cleaner?Cheers, Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncann Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Don't forget about the buttons by the LCD screen, like the directional pad, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjase777 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does the 1 indicate that the button is stuck on?Cheers, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I thought the single line of 1's was down to the button used to initiate the test being picked up as the test starts - if you hold that button down the second 1 doesn't change until you release it. There have been other threads about this, such as: http://line6.com/support/topic/5056-pod-hd500-unreliable-footswitches/?hl=switch&do=findComment&comment=101709 Everyone that has cleaned their switches has either just sprayed in the top, or has removed the bottom plate to access the circuits. I did the latter and only used compressed air with good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Does the 1 indicate that the button is stuck on? Cheers, Jason No, it isn't stuck. It's as Rewolf said, the first 1 indicates the switch is pressed, the second 1 is the switch being let go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjase777 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 All good. Fixed it by pulling the spring apart a bit more.Here's a good reference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-JUStkzZ0I Cheers, Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
