Hi! Yesterday I had my first problems with the Cortex. Few hours prior to this happening it worked perfectly, but later the same day power-button and inputs stopped working completely. I tried with different cables, tried updating, tried older backups, even factory resetting with no help. I thought I’ll wait a bit and try again later.
Suddenly the unit didn’t even react when I plugged it in. Only a little light inside the unit lights up (I guess it receives electricity?) but nothing else happens. I also tried with my friends QC’s power supply, but had the same outcome.
Has anyone had problems like this and do you have any idea what could cause this? It has never gotten any liquids on it and I’ve taken proper care of it always. Never dropped or anything. I contacted support right after this incident and I’m waiting for response, but I thought I would like to hear if anyone has experienced this kind of issue. I couldn’t find anything like this in already existing topics.
There is this existing thread but contacting support which you have already done is the right method to get this resolved due to multiple variables. Good luck!
hey dude. hope you were able to get this sorted. especially since mine is doing the exact same thing. just won’t turn on at all. period. i plug it in and nothing happens. no lights flash or anything. were you able to find a solution or get a better answer than basically “sit tight with your non working unit until we figure something out”??
i solely use my unit at home in my studio for tracking all of my guitars and am currently smack in the middle of a project that progress is halted on until i get answers on a fix.
Mine turned on, but only cycled through the footswitch lights in a cyan blue color and the main screen never booted up. Fortunately, turned it off and was able to reboot it into the OS.
Ensure you are using the OEM power supply and have everything unplugged (e.g USB, XLRs, send/returns etc),. during the power cycle. If that still fails, I would recommend to email neuraldsp.com to diagnose further and or to ultimately replace if needed.
