Crashing Sidsation

2006-05-16 by S. Steven Struble

I've had a sidstation for the past 7 years, and suddenly it has developed a
new little quirk.  It's constantly reseting itself.  It doesn't appear to
be losing power, but it'll go back to boot-up mode and start all over.
Either that, or it will just lock up with random characters on the screen.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?

steven,
this happened to my first sidstation.  the power connection was bad  
or weak
or something.  just moving it slightly would reset the machine and lose
all the memory in it.  i also did that once by sending it a control  
change
message higher than 99 (that gave me weird characters on the screen
and corrupted the memory).

i'd say talk to elektron about it.  it may need to be repaired.
