riky94 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Hi, this is what happen when i turn on my pod hd 500 after 5 minutes of playing. I have already re-flash the firmware.... https://youtu.be/KhSYnWbDL2M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillBee Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Ouch. I would try another power supply and if that doesn't work it looks grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) It sounds like sparklers or fireworks. Must be a bad connection or component. Maybe a guitar cable? Does it do it with the guitar cable unplugged? Ooooops nevermind I saw that screen. Edited July 14, 2017 by Brazzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncann Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 That's frightening! I hope there's no burning smells coming from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napynap Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 That is scary, it feels like it's about to explode! It must be a circuit shorting out after the components heat up or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjnette Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Sounds like the PSU is faulty or in a bad power strip that is faulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I could not get the video to play. Probably blocked on the network I am on...Anyway, the PSU connector looks wrong to me... Is this an old 9v AC supply? I have seen more than several threads here over the years where a shop threw in an old X3 or XT supply...The problem is that those are AC...HD is 9v DC...While the pod will sometimes fire up that way because the HD has a little bit of protection in from this, inevitably this is not a healthy situation. I might not be correct on this, but just wanted to throw that out there...If that is a 9v AC PSU, stop using it and get the right one...9v DC @ 3 amps... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
