My empeg has been assassinated by a malignant wav file (probable cause). Alright let me give some background, I've got an mkIIa, 2 beta 11, hijack. I uploaded the 8 min wav file to the player, played it, and after about 1.5 min it just froze up. No sound. The only thing that worked was hijack and the hijack short knob press. The only time any of the buttons would respond were through hijack.
OK, so I rebooted. Still in same comatose state. Ok, so I try to connect to Emplode. Emplode can't find it. Then I try re-installing the 2 beta 11 kernel. The 'upgrade' is successful but no help. It still won't work.
I ran hyperterminal and got this as the last 2 lines:
Vcb: 0x4086d000
! wave_decoder.cpp : 312:Bytes not (yet) available (0xc0044000)
I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean. But anyways, I had the visuals set to autochange on track change, and I noticed that it just changed visuals. The visuals don't move at all, just frozen with "Info: Off" frozen at the top of the VFD. Every now and then I hear the drive spin up.
Can anyone bring my player back from the dead? Please, I don't want to have a funeral.
