Dying Digitech Digiverb

Flanging_Fred

My old faithful digiverb seems to be dying. When I plug in the power or guitar cable the led flashes 3 times and the pedal proceeds to do sod all (but does pass signal).

A quick Google search shows this is an issue that had come up before but there's no satisfactory solution/reason that I can find.

I played about with it and tried it with a brand new Duracell battery (instead of a VL pp2+) and it sort of worked for a little bit ...and went wrong again. 

I'm not sure it's going to be worthwhile to fix but before it goes in the dead pedal box has anyone else had this problem with a Digitech X series pedal?

go onto AliExpress - some Digiyech X models (and Bad 'Minkey') are rebadged with Chinese graphics and are a bit of a bargain - if you can read Mandarin...
