Upon startup all lights blinking / no sound.

Upon startup all lights blinking / no sound.

Hello,

I've owned my OB-6 a few weeks with no problems. It sits in an airconditioned room daily.

I went a day not using it and this evening, when I turned it on, the entire board started blinking rapidly. I let it go and this did not stop. I eventually turned it off then did the recommended calibration steps.

This room is cool at 70 degrees and the device has been on for half an hour. Get no sound.

I ran calibration again and still no sound.

It has been in a cool to a cold room since I got it and this had previously not been an issue.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jack

Sorry to hear that. My best suggestion would be to contact DSI support by email ASAP.
