POD XT unit problems

[jrbotkin7]

I turn on the unit and the screen lights but does not go through the start process. I tried to plug in and play through the unit but the it will not give any output....not sure what to do next.

You might try the Edit Buffer Initialization. Here's a link: 

 

 

 

Try the Edit Buffer Initialization with the following steps:

 

1. Turn off the POD
2. Turn on the POD while holding down the Save and Edit buttons simultaneously
3. The POD's LCD screen should display Init Edit Buffer
4. Push the Output mode button
5. Turn the Select / Select Page knob one click to the right
6. Turn the Effect Tweak / Change Value knob to the left or right adjusting the contrast.

 

If that does not help, please try re-installing the flash memory on the PODxt device using the instructions in the following link:

Hi

 

My Pod XT has one side of screen (left) working fine, the right half instantly blocks up on start up and is not readable.

Everything else works fine.

Sometimes if you turn the unit off and on quickly it shows the right half working, not completely working but just good enough to read.

 

anyone any ideas, Ive taken the unit apart and the power supply pcb location is running pretty hot but all caps seem to look good.

 

cheers

Many people have exact problem with Pod XT. I get a blank orange screen. Every year or so, I pull it out and try to get it to work to no avail. Dealer wants money just to troubleshoot it. I will never buy a line 6 product again.

The POD XT first came out in 2002... You're still holding a grudge over a product that's 18 years old?

Line 6 never made it right. Call it what you want. I call it the power of the consumer.
