BlackFaceMao Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, I came here hoping that someone might enlighten me about the problem I'm facing with my device. When I start my Pod, I can see on the screen that the arrow on the different effects on the preset goes all the way to the left. When I use the arrows to go right, it doesn't do anything as if I was holding the left arrow button. I tried to go into the settings and I/O but I can't navigate un the menu, since I need to go right to changes pages and when I try, it stays on the first page. I cleaned the buttons and checked to see if anything got stuck under the plastic but I found nothing. Also, I don't know if it's related to the pevious problem but my tap and loop switches are acting weird. When I hold the tap button the start the tuner, it goes off of it when I take my foot off. When I leave tuner mode, the loop mode activates and I can't get out of it unless I push several times on the button. What would you recommend me to do? Reset to factory settings? Ask a post-sale customer service? Thanks a lot for your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Won't hurt to try a reset, but I'd be surprised if it makes any difference. Sounds like just a dead button and footswitch...in which case, it's service ticket time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFaceMao Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Thank you both for answering, I reset my POD without much hope and indeed, it did nothing. I think I'll keep my POD and repair it when I have the means to. It does seem like there is an internal problem with the switches but I didn't want to go to far into dismantling the device. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Emphasis on GOOD contact cleaner. Don't try buying the stuff for a dollar from a Chinese dealer on Amazon. What would you rather do, spend a couple extra bucks on the right cleaner or spend the money on a new 500x after it shorts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 DeOxit is the brand I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 And don't be fooled by a cheap price on brand name either. If every where is selling something for $25 and you see someone selling it for $8... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
