ShredIbanez Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Pretty odd. I went to change a patch and my LCD screen flipped backwards. Now everything in any screen is backwards on my LCD screen only. Scribble strips are good. All the buttons under the LCD screen still think everything is normal so they adjust the parameters originally associated with them but not the parameter newly above the knob. The joystick also is reverse sensing, i.e. left is right now. Did I hit some magic combination of buttons to cause this? How do I go back?

ShredIbanez Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Already turned off and back on. Updated to the newest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshimkoski Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Looks like some sort of internationalization mode (for use with right to left languages such as Hebrew or Arabic)... but obviously without the text translated. I wonder how you did this wackiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 There's one for support, for sure. I hate to be a Chicken Little, but either the stars are misaligned big time lately, or the latest firmware has an impressive collection of bugs and instabilities. Knock silicon, my Helix has been quite stable on 201, and I've seen all manner of nonsense show up for various people with 210. Sticking w 201 until this settles out. All God's children got bugs, but really, this is too much. I wonder how this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhead Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Try looking at / photographing the screen directly rather than in the mirror. :lol: :P (jk of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blyoung62 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Have you noticed anything else strange since this happened? Have you come across a Cheshire Cat or a Queen of Hearts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hmm... I have to believe this is some sort of weird hardware issue, but I guess it would be worth trying to re-install the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredIbanez Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I just restarted my Helix and noticed that for a couple seconds, the screen is actually normal. Then it flips again... No cats or Queen of Hearts. But, I did put in a trouble ticket. My guess is I'll be out a Helix for a month or so. FML. I just want to point out, I have had basically no issues with this Helix and I got it as soon as it came out. I love this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredIbanez Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Have you tried re-flashing it? Would that be different than using the Updater to update Firmware? I've done that twice now to 2.10 with no love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is truly wacky! Opposites Day and Bizarro World. Pretty sure it won't make a difference as I suspect this is a hardware failure, but have you also tried doing a safe boot (FS 6&12) and then updating the firmware again while in safe boot mode?

zooey Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 My apologies for associating this unique glitch with the 210 firmware. I had no evidence, just worry, and since reverting to older firmware doesn't fix it, it's pretty clear they're unrelated. Carry on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Sucks that you have a problem with your Helix. But hey, at least it's something original. Have you been using CC128 lately (see the last page of the manual)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShredIbanez Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Nothing worked from Line 6 suggestions. However, I turned it on after 2 days of being off. Guess what...it is back to normal. Very weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundog Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 ...see if heat affects it (like after its been on for some time). Or vibration (give it some light taps on the sides). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
