I am going to see if I can test it at Guitar Center as I don't know anybody else locally with an X3Live. I can't even get to the test mode. I know about that from back in the day with the crappy shielding issue and the firmware update.

This one came with the firmware already updated. It was working just fine.I was even able to calibrate the pedal with no issues.

Nobody from Line 6 has answered my question. I may have to pose the question to Youtube, Facebook or Twitter if they can't help.

I tried another power supply and it didn't work. The issue still persists. I also cannot get into flash mode. Does this thing just need a new firmware chip?

I was in Windows 7 using Reaper to record like an hour before this happened.

I think they owe me gas money because if they look they will be able to see how many X3 Lives I have had due to issues with their hardware. I guess it doesn't pay to be an early adopter or a late adopter. Hell I even bought the Pocket Pod when it released.

Nobody has ever been told what specifically causes the issue? I actually live near a service center but I want more information. If this is a widespread issue there should be a recall.

A refund is not going to happen as this thing was purchased in July '09. Musician's Friend only accepts returns made within the first 45 days from shipment.

I am going to need some L6 involvement for this to happen.

I can't get anywhere to re-install the flash memory. (I think I mentioned that in the other post.)  It doesn't show up as a USB device either. Its just all black screen and orange light per the picture. Second power supply did not work either.

If it was just the screen wouldn't the rest of the board still work? I've built projects with LCDs so I know it shouldn't affect it IRL. Before all this happened I had run the diagnostic mode and everything passed so why would it stop working for no reason. Your techs should know more about this issue.

I got ya. I will let you know what I find out.
