Ok. I'm trying not to freak out about it. I have an Si 3 that I know is reliable for this weekend's gig, but my Si 3 is on time out until I can get it to STOP CRASHING EVERY FIVE *^#!#*$@ MINUTES!
(deep breath ... deeep breath....)
I've been very much in contact with Soundcraft in LA about these and some other less show-stoppy issues, and I've updated firmware until I'm blue in the face. I've flashed the SD memory about half of those times.
I would consider myself fairly competent with this particular line- we've had them on both ends for 2 seasons at my 1600 seater, so I've been down the D.O.G.S. road. Got that sorted. Figured out that if you attach an Si to a stagebox today, you'd better load up a fresh show tomorrow if you don't have said stagebox again. I'm fully aware that at least 30% of my freak-outs have been because I went into fader setup, got interrupted, and came back to "frozen" desk. This is none of those issues.
What I have is a desk that will chug along happily on local inputs for hours, then in the middle of full band headliner set, decide to freeze in its current state, passing audio, giving no indication of its malfuncition until it try to change something. And. Nothing. Works.
Hard Reboot. Middle of show. Twice, last time.
Now the Si 3 won't even power up properly. Hangs on the checkpoint screen 8 times out of 10.
Anyone have any insight whatsoever? I'm at a loss and Soundcraft hasn't gotten back....
Thanks for listening...
