I bought an eclipse brand new about 7 mos ago. During a session tonight, I heard a weird noise, and a checksum error msg appeared. It said "hit any button" so I did. After that, a plethora of strange error msg's appeared, then everything froze. The following are the actions I then took:
1. Powered down, then back up. Checksum error still appeared.
2. Powered back down, then back up. Went to Utility-Fix. Clicked "yes" then tried to switch presets, then the unit froze.
3. Powered back down again, then back up, while holding down Program, then clicked "yes" – unit still froze when I tried to switch presets.
4. Powered back down again, then back up, while holding down setup, then clicked "yes" – the unit still froze when I tried to switch presets.
The next step would to be to do a memory clear. I had some strange freezing issues in the past, and had to do this previously, and would loathe having to do it yet again, within just months of each other.
Advice? I bought an extended warranty with this unit. I tend to think I have a bad apple, and it needs some love from the Eventide tech's.
