Magic 260 Crashed

Similar things have happened to me. The M260 is a computer, and sometimes they crash. It sucks when it does. With my M260, it doesn't happen very often.

Well I tested controller all day friday, no problem. Got to show takes another dump first song. Reload after 1st set and made it to second to last song of night. I did notice that the lights would flicker for half a second before it crashed. Also, on the controller master fader and master fade time started just going ape shit and cycling up and down. Then crash nothing was responsive just had to turn off and on and see everything gone.

Will any type of master reboot work?

Thing controller is about year and half old and should not be doing this. Any options before I decide to drop elation products all together?

please contact me for a return number 1-800-322-6337 ext 560 -louie

I have the same problem and have sent the unit back to the store for repair and it came back the same way. Can someone please help to fix the problem. If needed i can take photos and email them onto you. Hope to hear back from someone soon.

I'm not surprised a local store couldn't fix it.

My first M260 was hay wired. Elation replaced it. The replacement unit has crashed and loses fixture settings from time to time. It works most of the time, however.
