"MOTU Traveler Firmware Upgrade"

Post by tingkumajique »

Dang... what woes have come upon me?!!

I got my MOTU replacement (first one was a power issue)...

treated my new unit with XXXTLC... all my powerlines are regulated and surge protected... nice, clean room and safe audio signals going in... everything you could ever think of to take care of this baby...

working great until this morning...

turned it on and this silly screen appears

"MOTU Traveler Firmware Upgrade"

hmm... i upgraded it to 1.0.7 a few weeks back with no problems... everything was working fine till today.

what gives?! do i have to return this unit back again?

i did a search on this thread and found that a few guys out there suffer from the same problem. is sending it back to MOTU the only solution to this?

the best part is, i just missed my 90 day warranty period by 2 weeks... it's sickening! did MOTU put a timebomb into my Traveler?

HELP!!!

dang...

now everything works fine... strange...

but the scary thing is... what if this thing happens to me again... this time when i'm actually doing a live production... then i'm screwed!

can anybody suggest a fail safe method?

my Traveler's are 1.0.5.

what is the 1.0.7?????? did I miss something?
I've never heard about an upgrade.

It's curious 'cause there are several people who get that problem...
I do live production too... and if my travelers crash, I can hung myself.
