chalky65 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My HD Pro is not connecting to either my JTV89 or my FBV Shortboard MKII. I am using the correct cables for both but it appears the HD Pro inputs are not sending any power out. Has anyone else experienced this? Don't really want to send the HD Pro back if at all possible. Any idea? Assistance greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Maybe a stupid question, but are you sure you are using the proper input jacks on the HD Pro? Both the VDI and the FBV connect to the HD Pro with RJ-45 connectors. It would be easy to mix them up if you are using a regular RJ-45 cable with the JTV rather than a shielded VDI cable. Check the input labels on the back of the HD Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky65 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am using the correct inputs! just no power being outputted from either. Not recognising my JTV89 & no lights on my Floorboard! I have a metal shielded end to the RJ-45 for the JTV which simply doesn't fit into the FBV socket or the Floorboard so I know I have the correct inputs! Any other thoughts??

chalky65 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I can also confirm that both cables I am using are not faulty. I know this because the straight RJ-45 cable connects perfectly well with my Floorboard and Pod X3 and the metal shielded RJ-45 (that came with the JTV) connects with the converter and my Mac to use Monkey & Workbench.

silverhead Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 What's the history of your HD Pro device? Have these connections ever worked to your knowledge? Is this a new or used device? Can you return/replace it? There's nothing that can really go wrong, or be tweaked, about these connections. If the HD Pro is powered on these connections should work. If both of them are failing, and you have confirmed that the cables and connected devices are not at fault, then the only remaining answer is that your HD Pro is faulty and needs servicing.

chalky65 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I've never used the connections since I purchased the Pro about 18 months ago but recently purchased the Floorboard and JTV89 only to find both connections don't work. Unfortunately, Pro probably out of guarantee?? Don't suppose Line 6 will take pity on me as I wouldn't have realised the connections didn't work until I actually came to use them which happens to be outside of the guarantee/warranty period. Do not really want to have to return it and pay what will probably be a substantial cost to have fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 As a last chance, I would reinstall the HD Pro firmware. Save any setlists/presets that you want to keep beforehand, and during the firmware update process choose to install all factory presets, discarding the existing ones.

chalky65 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks, appreciate your help, I'll give it a go but it's a long shot as issue sounds like a mechanical problem rather than firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
