Broken Line 6 Spider III HD?
Anyone kind enough to give me some suggestions on what may be wrong with this Line 6 amplifier head?
I think the problem started with a dodgy connection on some plugged in headphones, but the unit now fails to 'start' properly. The display remains blank and there's a pop noise every 3 seconds as if it's attempting to restart maybe? Pot/LED test mode is accessible, as is factory reset and firmware version which display correctly. In the test mode the amp seems to work on the guitar input in so far as a 'clean' signal does get output through the headphones, but the right channel only seems to work if the guitar is strummed loudly, and cuts off as it diminishes. It has powered up once since breaking, and this was after I grounded the headphones connection whilst cluelessly trying different things, although this is probably a coincidence as I haven't been able to replicate it.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, cheers in advance!
