Can’t boot my Eclipse after Upgrade and Downgrade

Sorry you are having trouble. Things to do:

1) Follow the instructions in the User manual under "Fixing Strange Behavior, Freezes, Etc."

2) If this does not work, or you can't do it, see if you can try the upgrade again. If you used a card, try a different card.

3) If that fails, it probably has to come in.

Alas, if your unit is totally dead it will have to come for service. It's probably just screwed up software, but that cannot be fixed remotely on an Eclipse.

You don't say where you are – if in EC, you could talk to Sound Service in Dusseldorf.

I'm afraid I think it is unlikely you can fix it in South Korea. I'll look and see if our Japanese people can help.

You are probably right that it is a software problem, but the problem is that the software has been destroyed – I am assuming that the unit is totally dead – please tell me if otherwise.

There is another option – if you can find another Eclipse, it is possible to revive yours with a suitable card and a suitable cable.

Please send an email to support@eventide.com, referring to this thread.

We will then send you instructions. You will need a CF card below 2G, and a way to write to it from a computer.

You will also need to take of the top cover of the broken one to change a jumper.

You will also need a 9 pin male to male Null Modem cable.

Hi Nick, hope you’re well. I just bought a Eclips and is ina sort of D.O.A. (the guy who sold it to me sayd that the Ecplise was working before shipping).

So, the behaviour is identical to the one explained in this post: power on, then all lights on and a short sound (“beep”), and then no light, no lcd screen etc. Is there something I can do at home considering the italian lockdown? The “strange behaviour” thing on the manual does not work neither. 

cheers

Hi Vito. I'm afraid that it sounds broken. Your best bet would be to return to sender.

It will be a while before there are repair facilities, although you could try contacting our Italian dealer.

In the meantime, you could try putting it into update mode – if you can it would be worth trying an update as described elsewhere on this sit. If you can't it will need to be looked at. 

Or, if you have access to another working Eclipse, we could try a prodcedure that helped other people on this post. To do this, contact support@eventide.com mentioning this post and the word "clone". You would require the other Eclipse, a CF card smaller than 2G, an ability to write the card, and a "null modem" cable.

Thans. But No luck: power on + 1 = the orange led lights on for hours… Should I try the booloader option? Thanks

Best regards
