Command Station keeps rebooting

Command Station keeps rebooting

2012-07-07 by Mariusz P

What's up fellow E-mu users!
out of nowhere my PX-7 reboots at random intervals, no matter if it is playing or just turned on!
I tried bringing back factory settings and cleaning all sequences, without success:/ It even passess all tests!
It has been working fine for years, didn't opened it for months (rom slots full all worked great).

Any suggestions? Please help.

I had this happen several years ago (P2500). I made sure the power cord I was using had a nice fit, checked all internal cables cables, and re-seated all sound roms. I was lucky--that fixed the intermittent reboots for me.

I had similar issues with freezing (while still playing what was
expected to be played). Opening it, re-seating all ROMs helped. Maybe
it just needs some care every now & then...

It can also be an issue with power adapter, someone here mentioned the
capacitors that tend to leak after some time. Probably it's worth
checking.

Thanks Steve, thanks Bruno!
Your suggestions actually helped since after checking internal cables and rom fittings - it works without problem. That was too easy:D
have a great week!

Glad to hear it worked.  Its nice when gear problems like that don't require costly repairs!
