lwolford Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Every once in a while (maybe once a day to every two days) my pod will cycle the logo in the lcd screen at startup. I've contacted Line 6 and could possibly send it in to them to be fixed. I could also return it for a refund to Zzounds, but they don't have any more and would only be able to give me my money back or exchange for another product. I would have to pay for shipping to Line 6 and they would pay shipping for return. Has anyone else had this problem? It's not huge since turning it off and on will cure it. Will it stay that way, or is this a sign of a Pod about to die? If it is not a huge problem, I could save myself the headache of a repair if it keeps up and just keep it. I have tried both a global reset and reinstalling the flash update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Have you tried booting it (powering up) while pressing the left nav button, this is a reset so make sure you backup your bundle of patches. Usually what I do when I have a major problem with the pod itself is refash the firmware, do the reset, and then calibrate the pedal. I don't rely on saving patches although I do, but I have learned how to make patches on the fly and am still learning. I get better and bettter at it every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I've done both the global reset (holding the left nav button) and reinstalled the flash update. I did have the usb plugged in at the time (not to a computer though). I don't know if that would have something to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think what your doing is causing any problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 backup your setlists, and then reflash it... allow the firmware to install all the factory tones. do the global reset/calibration after... and see if the problem goes away (do not reinstall your tones) most likely you have a bad tone from an older firmware installed... Â if this works, you might try putting your tones back at some point... preferably one at a time so you can identify the bad one... might be easier just to start over though... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Ok. This time I installed the flash and didn't keep any presets (I did keep them before). My own patches were not very complicated and I was still working on them. I've only had this a little over a month. Thanks for the help. I will try it over the next few days and see if the problem keeps happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazzy Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 I forgot to mention that I don't save any patches when flashing 'cause I usually just start from scratch, TheRealZap is right you may have a bad patch in there which could be the problem.

lwolford Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 I think I may have kept the patches the first time I installed the flash update. I might have had patches from the old firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Happened again today. Any other idea? And again, thanks for both of your help so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gskroll Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 I have occasionally seen this. I found that disconnecting my variax cable instantly allowed the boot process to complete. I had attributed the misbehavior to a questionable Line 6 VDI cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I'm not using a variax. I use just the 1/4 inch or xlr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 I tried flashing the memory again, but this time I kept it on a factory preset instead of one of my own. Last time, my last preset came up when I turned it on after flashing it. It was gone when I changed to a different preset, but to just make sure that was not the problem, I tried it again. Hope it works this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwolford Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have an update. I sent it in to Line 6 for repair. It's on its way back to me and I should be jammin by Friday. They said the main PCBA board needed replaced, so I guess flashing the memory would not fix that. If your's will not quit flashing the logo after flashing the memory, I would recommend sending it if if it is under warranty. Thanks everyone for your help.
