X-48 Tascam Host not responding

[Megaeffect]

I have 11 X-48s & 4 of them have done this. I've sent 2 back to Tascam for repairs & I'm waiting for an RMA for the others.It's a real problem

If I find out what's happening, I'll post the cure

Thought I'd bring this up again as I seem to be having the same problem. 1 out of 40 or 50 times it will boot up. otherwise, even the DVD drive is locked out.

Megaeffect- Did you get any idea what was happening with yours?

I to had the same problem, fixed it by replacing the battery on the motherboard.

I tried changing the battery with no luck. Sent the unit into Tascam. They re-capped the motherboard for $280 and it works great. I was surprised at the 2-1/2 week turnaround.

Yup, replaced the battery and the "startup" voltage for the front panel trigger was high enough to trigger the M/B to fire up.

Strange little bit of circuitry going on there.....

I had a unit with the same error. Upon inspecting the unit it appeared that the motherboard would not boot. I checked the capacitors and found two to be bad. This unit had barely any use so I suspect this is a weakness with the motherboard. I am sending the unit in to be repaired.
