Broncos Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Good day ppl. I have two Hd500X pedals, one for home recording and one i use the other live and and at rehearsal. Live and at practice i use the 4CM. I was rehearsing last night and 3/4" through the night i switched from bank 7A to 9A, started playing and a minute it (automajically) switched to the tuner. I got the band to stop. I so i looked down and hit the 'A' button and 3 seconds later while looking at it, it did it before my eyes and switched to the tuner again, then it went to 9A, then &a, then tuner, without even touching the (up and down) bank buttons. So I unplugged it and hoped that a reboot would fix it, but it keep switching to the tuner on its own. Plugged it in today and it is just doing the switching to the tuner by itself.... All drivers etc are fully up to date according to Line6 Monkey. Im gonna try contact cleaner on on all the buttons and work them for a good cleaning, but am going See if anyone else has experienced anything like this first. Has anyone ever encountered this? Thanks in advance Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurghanico Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 To effectively apply a contact cleaner (better isopropyl alcohol) you need to open the device to have access to the underlying microswitches that have become dirty or worn. Otherwise for $ 25 you can buy brand new Top and Bottom Switch PCB Assembly and replace the old one, no soldering needed, just plug and play.
