(take 2) EDP Intermittent Restart Thingie



(Sending a second time due to apparent strangeness in my 
Kinko's-powered internet-isms... not sure if it got to the list the first
time.  
Sorry for the redundancy if so!)

Hello folks,

A quick EDP query from the San Jose Kinko's --

At my gig last night I noticed a very strange thing with my EDP - it would 
occasionally go into "restart" - i.e. the "LoopIV" start-up deal would
flash 
across the screen.  (Obviously, this also had the effect of killing 
whatever audio was happening at the time).

This occasionally happened all by itself, without my touching anything 
at all, and more occasionally when I would hit a button on my footpedal.  
At one point it seemed to happen when I tapped the side of the chassis 
of the pedal board, without touching any button or sending any 
particular command to the EDP.

After the last song, I looked down and the screen was COMPLETELY 
dark - you ask how much blacker it could be, and the answer is: none... 
none more black.  Switching the power switch off and then on brought it 
back, though...

Additional info:

- I was using a PMC-10 to control the EDP, plus a Boss Volume pedal.  
No EFC-7.

- Right after the gig, I plugged it in at the place I'm staying, and
couldn't 
get it to crash.  I left it running all night, and it's still working fine
this 
morning.  

I've heard of this sort of thing happening with dirty SIMM sockets or 
something like that... any other ideas?  Strange electrical current 
things?

If anyone has ideas, please reply to the list, not to me (as I'm without 
regular Internet access until Sunday evening), so I can try and get it 
straightened out with Kim at the session in Oakland on Sunday.

Big thanks,

--Andre
