ihsoy Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hey all, trying to figure out if anybody has run into this issue before. My POD X3 Live will not boot, and when powered on displays "UPDATE FLASH" on the LCD. If I connect to a PC, I am able to reload the flash and recover. The next time I power on, however, I am back to UPDATE FLASH. Once in a great while (1 of 500?), the POD will actually boot and work normally when I power on. I have reset to factory defaults using the service menu, but no change. I know I can take it into a Line 6 repair shop, but they are going to charge a $75 diagnostic fee and I have a feeling that the repair charge will probably be more than the unit is worth at this point. Any thoughts / suggestions welcome. I have no issues cracking the unit open if there are any serviceable bits inside. thanks! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 TBH the only thing would be to try a different power supply. As you have been reflashing a PS would be the only thing to try next to a trip to the service center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihsoy Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Thanks, Bill, I actually did try a different power supply as well, with no change. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 That sucks my man. I am wondering if it is the flash memory going south and not retaining the information. Repair or buy another? That is the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
