Help

 

[MaxTaylorGrant]

Bump!

 

[chris]

Checked power cable plugged in? The source of power actually powers something else?

 

[UnsungHeroGuitars]

Oof! With all your programming wizardry, borrowing a nearby Gorilla amp isn't gonna get the job done either!

 

[teddis]

simeon,
I assume you checked all the basics......AC line in is good, connection to Axe good,

If it is the DC power supply you are done for the day man......

Bump!

 

[simeon]

It tries to startup but junk on screen

 

[chris]

Hold the recall button upon startup?

 

[teddis]

I would open the top, remove fan connector....and start re seating connectors, then re assemble. I DO NOT work for Fractal.

 

[simeon]

No joy with recall

 

[teddis]

Simeone, call them....they are still open for 2.4 hours

No joy with recall

 

[teddis]

Check the LCD ribbon cable.....

 

[Patzag]

Sim. Can you check the AC line? Could it be there's a faulty line without enough power to feed the Axe?
Or go plug it in to another circuit and check that.
Otherwise, call FAS. Do you have the number?

 

[simeon]

If you are out of warranty you have nothing to loose by checking the ribbons....will take 15 minutes.

That same thing happened to me once while attempting to power up. It eventually powered up with no more problems. My unit had a problem where the ribbon cable was loose and the lcd kind of flickered, don't know if it's related but after assuring the ribbon cable none of the problems showed up again.
