Hello all--
I've recently put my XL7 back into my roster, forgetting that there had been problems plaguing it when it went into retirement.
The two problems are:
-->Locking up while booting. This is intermittent, but it has almost always done it. I think...I've had this thing for almost ten years; it's difficult to remember. It usually stops somewhere in the screen with the blocks figures/progress bar part, not with words. Occasionally it locks up after being on too. I figure this usually has to do with some major midi overload, but they could be related.
--> The display screen is sometimes full brightness, sometimes flickers, sometimes darker.
I know many will deride me for this, but the way I have always solved theses problems is by giving the unit a firm whack or two or five. Often this works.
Anyway, I'd like to move beyond abusing my gear and towards a more long-term and sophisticated solution.
I've heard about problems with the power units for the Command Stations.
It passes the system check in diagnostic mode. All the wire harnesses are tight; i9;ve checked them so many times. All the screws are in.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Wyatt

Do you have access to another Command Station (of a friend, relative, lover...)? I would try running your XL-7 with another PSU.
