Helix won't turn on

Hello!


I have just turned on my Helix and noticed it isn't loading properly. The lights above the footswitches and expression pedal are on but no text is showing and the main screen is completely off. My speakers are plugged into the same extension as the helix and are working fine, so I assume it isn't a problem with the power source.

Hi,


As you have managed to start the unit up, it’s obvious that power is getting into it. This could be a situation where you have a glitch in the software/firmware.

 

When weird stuff happens - try a factory reset - and if that doesn’t clear the bug, try a reinstall of the latest firmware .

To use Reset Options:

  • Power off the Helix
  • Hold the desired button combination
  • Power on the Helix
  • Release the button combination

 

Please note: Buttons are numbered from top left to bottom right

 

Hope this helps/makes sense.
