RP2000 Problem. Anybody else?

My RP2000 bit the dust a couple days ago. I went to power it up, and the display went into gibberish(some weird punctuation type marks,and "50"). I tried resetting, which eventually worked(once), but it keeps going back to locking up,and display goes wacky. Anybody else have this problem? Is there a website (other than digitech's) that would be helpful? I am fluent with a soldering iron/station,and know how to test Q's diodes,resistors etc.,and found no problem. This thing has a lot of smd's and ic's,which I'm not fluent with. Thanks for any help. Rob

Have you tried using the software reset for it? Check the manual for the proper button sequence (it's online at digitech.com if your manual isn't handy.)

Yeah, I have performed the hard reset procedure, which didn't seem to help at first, but I tried it again since, and everything seems fine now. The E-PROM may be getting unstable. I wonder if the upgraded one would be a permanent fix???
Thanks for the input,

If you mean RP 200; I have one myself, it broke down a month after I bought it. The guy at the music store said the memory was scrambled( i don't know what it means) but try reseting to the factory setting. Else you'd end up paying 50 dollars like me.
