To make a long story short, I cannot send in my Transporter for repair
due to my location and I'm going to have to do that
myself (with some external help) so anyone who could provide some
pointers would be great.
Here's the problem: When playing any tracks on the Transporter nothing
happens.
I had it happened to me a few times. It invariably happened when I play
certain tracks that have some strange sampling rate which seemed to have
confused the Transporter.
In all cases it was fixed by the reset procedure you mentioned.
Have you tried after the reset playing some normal 16/44.1
There are 2 reset procedures, have you tried both? I think for me the
first procedure fixed it for me.
1. factory Reset
1. Disconnect the power
2. Press and hold Add on the remote
3. Reconnect the power
4. Release the Add button when you see Factory reset... on the
screen
2. Xilinx Reset
Hi Agentsmith,
Yep, tried all that. Normal track, 16/44... Reset to factory
settings... Xilinx... re-up firmware.
I believe the problem is hardware related (I might be wrong) because of
the 'buzzing' sound coming from the PSU.
