Re: Evolver not initialized at first power -

2004-02-28 by Woody Wall

I had a similar problem with mine right out of the box. This was in
the first run of Evolvers (mine is S/N 70). It wouldn't even power up
at all on the first try. It would take three or four tries before the
LEDs lit and sometimes the patches would be screwed up. I tried a
different power supply and even took it to different locations in case
it was the power in my building. No luck. After a few days I wrote
Dave and he did a board swap with me. It's been fine ever since.
