control unit locks up when powering it on.
n5oya:
hello all. have several slight problems but lets take care of one at a time. on my Control rrc, when i plug in the power cord with or without cables connected to the unit it will freezes up and the 2 lights on the mic/aux jack stays lit. I am unable to log into the unit at all. i cant turn on the radio..i cant do anything when waiting 1, 2 etc minutes it just doesnt do anything but, if i disconnect the power cord and plug in the usb cable connected to the computer the unit recycles normally and then i plug in the power cord and will recycle once more like normal and wont lock up. now i thought there was a glitch in the firmware so i installed several times and ever switched to a lower firmware but does the same.
this is the problem...when i leave home and i dont have a laptop and i plug the power to the unit it will lock up and im out of luck so i need to fix this problem. thanks for help.

Hi
If both the red and yellow LED is on the unit do not boot up. This can happen if the power supply is not delivering power enough. When you connect the USB cable the unit will be powered from the PC thats why it work then. If the unit has been hit by a llightning strike this can also happen if the DC input components are hurt. Also try without the panel connected.

Mine started doing this to as soon as I flashed the latest firmware ... I can usually get it to boot by unplugging all the cables - it seems like unplugging the Ethernet cable will allow it to power on ... I will try it again after while ... But it doesn't happen to mine every time, but most often it does not boot ...

This is not uncommon. I first reported it a number of months ago on this forum.

It is not the PSU - I have seen lock-up with both large and plugtop supplies. it certainly is a failure to boot as both the Ethernet and USB ports are dead.
The only cure seems to be to remove all power for >10 mins and then try again.
