I had this exact problem. After much abuse, the power supply leads became creased and frayed near the plug end and 
sometimes the connection would break momentarily and reconnect quickly, flickering current to the Sidstation. After 
this, any attempt to go into patch mode resulted in a hang. Clearing memory restored functionality.

Solution: Buy a solidly built power supply with one voltage and a single, properly sized adaptor tip hard wired into 
the leads. I haven't had the problem ever since.

Alternately, maybe the power socket on the sidstation is coming loose on the inside and needs to be resoldered. 
Scary.
