What the.. ? Suddenly my 828 mk3 takes ages to startup!

Post by mrjkn »

Please, please help me out on this!

Went to the studio today to record some drums. I havent used my 828 mk3 for a few weeks now, and thought it was time. But when I turn on the unit it takes ages to load - about 3-4 minutes, and it can´t process audio! The firmware is 1.06. This happens also when the unit isn´t connected to the computer (no fw-cable connected). When loaded, the light at 44.1 khz blinks veeeerrryy slowly. And, no audio whatsoever.The cuemix takes ages to load, both internally, and through the laptop. Dunno if this is because I updated to 1.06 a while ago.

I actually got this unit (1.01 version) as a replacement for a faulty one. Bought it in the states, live in Sweden - the power supply is correct. I feel so unhappy right now. It´s a black paperweight right now. :cry:

Strange, when I turned on the unit today, it loaded quick and easily (computer off)! But, when I was trying to play a project in reaper, which I was mixing with the 828 btw, it said no-go. I turned off the 828 and tried to turned it on again - same problem: 5 minutes to load cuemix, and it wouldn´t lock. I´ve tried to reset it to factory default in standalone mode: no cure.
