Axe-Fx II no longer runs (blank green screen, no audio etc...) (SOLVED - Loose Ribbon cable)

I bought it used off of eBay so no luck there either haha... I get a feeling that replacing the CMOS battery and having a look inside should resolve the issue.

Axe-Fx II no longer runs (blank green screen, no audio etc...) (SOLVED - Loose Ribbon cable)

I'm in the UK and they state they will only provide support to customers that bought the unit directly from them, I seem to remember they had a more lenient attitude to it in the past, but they are probably extremely busy these days in comparison so I don't want to pi*s them off haha!

Replacement rack mounting brackets?

Audio stutter

You can try lowering the quality of some of the blocks to lower CPU usage whilst keeping 99% of the same sound, for instance using standard IR resolution instead of Ultra Res in the Cabinet block options, and Normal Quality instead of High Quality in any reverb blocks etc...

Looking for this tone

Marshall or Peavey 5150 amp model and a compressor will get you far, as well as having the gain low enough to get that muted hammer-on sounding very articulated and rubber-band like.
