phil_m Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Are you sure you had an adequate charge on your battery when you did the update? It sounds as if perhaps the battery died when you were trying the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broker2 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hook the jtv back up and reflash again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Make sure your guitar volume knob is not set to zero (sleep mode). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Watt Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sounds like it's bricked. You will have to send it to Line6 to get reloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitbasse Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 if i find one hd500x, can i flash it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealZap Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I do think that the flash is more reliable with a pod 500/500x pro/prox worth a try, although no guarantee. if i find one hd500x, can i flash it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitbasse Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 the 1/4" cable should be pluged in the amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitbasse Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 maybe the 1/4 cable is no more turning on the guitar or the variax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrazen Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I have a 59 Korean and watched the lights die 2 weeks ago. No switching models or tuning. I reflashed, checked batteries etc no luck and all works as ususal except the guitar.. I Keep my all my stuff charged and in working order. I held off on the 2.0 upgrade as there was some questions about it. I loaded it then rolled it back nothing. I did have the switching issue early on and wow that was no fun out of the gate. I am now talking to Line 6 but it is all on me. I am afraid more of these guitars will have issues. They were poorly tested and it was hard to get them to listen but I was an early adopter and they came around eventually. When did you get yours btw?

noble2g Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This is what is happening to my JTV69 right now. So frustrating! By the way, it happened also on my variax 300 way back 2006. I am getting frustrated. Now I know I really have to give up on line 6 products! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTSC777 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The only strange thing my JTV69 does is if it sits for a month the mag pups wont output sound while the modeled tones will.Contact cleaner sprayed lightly on the pickup selector fixes it.Very odd.
