Re: freeze up/crash problem

2007-04-17 by belphedeus

Hi patrick,
Its pretty unbelievable that a reset didnt do the trick but its 
suspected that a bad data could have done that crash/freeze.Best is 
to reset to factory setting and get a new Bulk Dump from elsewhere.
And if that didnt work try getting the Tech Support of Digitech.
They are a helpful bunch but you'll have to be specific with the 
problem you're facing.Good luck dude.
