Title: Bad Scare!
Post by: tkofaith on May 12, 2009, 12:30:10 PM
I went to practice bass with my mp3's on my MBR this morning.  When I pushed the power button I had a brief light up and then nothing.  I changed the batteries...nothing.  I plugged it in with the charger (yes, the correct one. PS120 I think.  I know it's the right one, I just can't remember what it's called right now ;D)....nothing.  I removed the batteries and kept it plugged in....nothing.  I removed the SD card and plugged it back in....POWER!  I powered down, unplugged and reinserted the card and the batteries...POWER!  My day had already been crappy, so to have this happen didn't help.  But...it was certainly comforting that it works again!

LOL!  I swear if I hadn't gotten it to work, that would have been the end of me...the straw that broke the camel's back...you get the picture.  I was at the very end of my rope!  Now, however, at least one thing has gone right today!  The outlook changes quite a bit when you get at least one positive!

My last BR glitch was working myself up into a complete lather over two weeks or so because my display wasn't showing clearly.  It was all jumpy and illegible. 

I finally realized it was a simple contrast issue.

Doh!

A lesson I learned--the hard way--is to always back up my SD card anytime the MBR is connected to the computer for any reason.  I've been meaning to write up my horror story for awhile now.
