Top 6 switches on pod hd 500 aren't working.

I can only change my effects trhough the upper knobs close to the lcd display. The foot switches up, fs 1 trhough fs4 and looper aren't working. I tested in test mode (holding right arrow while turning the pod on) and they don't show any sign of activity. I already updated my Firmware and did a global reset. If it is a hardware problem I am in bad waters. Here in Brazil they charge like hell.

SOURCE: the entire control board on

There is probably a power supply failure or with the power on reset circuit. Likely low voltage to the logic electronics. This is NOT DIY unless you are familiar with electronics.

I have a Jenn Air JJW9830DDP double oven electric, and the temperature in the oven is about 100' less than what it reads on the display. I tested the temp sensor and it ready 1073 ohms. Any s

Well, your temp sensors can still be bad. If not, there's always a new control board you buy!

However, I wouldn't drink water from that oasis without making ABSOLUTELY sure I'm not seeing a mirage.

The only common denominators between your upper and lower oven temp readings is the firmware and the oven thermometer you are using to visually check the temps.
What type of thermometer are you using to check your oven temperatures with?
If it's not a digital thermometer used specifically for testing ovens, you might just be leading leading yourself astray.
You need a calibrated thermometer. If I don't have a calibrated digital thermometer on me, I use two or three oven thermometers (the dial type) and average the readings.
It's the only way to be as close as possible with a digital probe.

If you have thoroughly verified that your oven is in fact not reading the correct temperature, then you can adjust it +/- 35 degrees F via your oven's control panel.
To adjust the oven temperature:
1 - Press Setup pad.
2 - Select the down arrow to scroll to the next screen.
3 - Select Temp Adjust using the Quickset pads.
4 - Select upper or lower oven (select models).
-"Set temperature offset using the Upper Set Knob" is displayed.
5 - Enter the desired temperature change using the Set knob.
The temperature can be increased or decreased up to 35 degrees.
The temp. change is displayed at the top of the window.
6 - Press the Set knob to accept the change.

Now, if you are still worried about the temp. reading being off, replace both the upper and lower temp sensors. That's all you can do besides replace the main board.

Line 6 how do i get it to work

Line 6 connected to AC power and LED showing power to unit. Guitar into effect input, effect output to guitar amp. Does guitar make sound through amp in bypass mode? No then check cables...yes then use foot switch to turn Line 6 effects unit on. Adjust control knobs for desired effect levels/settings.

If pedal provides no effects...off/on switch defective or internal electronics in need of repair.

I'm having problems with a Behringer PMP5000 board. the dual effect chanel instead of number 0-99, it come up as letter and number i.e e1-5

In spite of the display, does the effects work and do they change when you dial up and press the knob down? If they do, then likely the display is at fault. If the effects are NOT working sound wise, check the +5 volts as the whole effects runs from that, It should be within 10% of the 5 volts.

Screen not displaying anything. BUt the machine is on.

1.Diagnose the problem with your computer. Watch the screen from the moment you hit the power button through the time it should take to boot into the Operating System. Adjust the computer's contrast and brightness through their full ranges to make sure that the display settings have not been changed. Reset the computer's LCD-External Monitor display with the LCD/External Monitor key combination and reboot the computer. Continue to Step 2 if the screen is blank throughout the booting process.
2.Adjust the screen from its fully closed position to its fully opened position. Watch the monitor for any change from a blank screen to a display or vice-versa. If the screen flashes or cuts out, the LCD panel will need to be replaced. Skip to Step 5.
3.Skip this step if your computer does not have an external monitor output. Connect your computer's external monitor output to a known good monitor and change the display from LCD to External Monitor (the keystroke combination is different for all notebook brands). Reboot the comptuer, if necessary. If the computer does not display to the external monitor, the video card could be bad. Skip to Step 6.
4.Consult with a professional technician to determine the cost-effectiveness of replacing your computer's LCD if you are not knowledgeable in that area. Purchase a compatible replacement LCD and install it yourself, or pay a professional technician to do so if you do not feel comfortable performing the repair.
5.Verify that the monitor connection cables are not loose or disconnected before attempting to replace it. Replace the monitor yourself by removing the old monitor. Remove the hinge covers by gently prying them. Check if they are screwed to the computer before prying. Find the monitor cable's connection to the motherboard. Turn your computer over and remove any plates that may cover the point of connection. Note the orientation of the cables before disconnecting them. Unscrew the monitor from the hinges and gently detach it from your computer. Feed the new LCD panel's wires through the same path as the old wires, and reconnect them. Secure the new LCD's hinges and replace the hinge covers. Power up the computer and check that it works. If it does not, recheck the wire connections.
6.Consult with a professional technician to determine the cost-effectiveness of replacing your computer's motherboard or video card if you are not knowledgeable in that area. Purchase a compatible replacement motherboard or video card, and install yourself or pay a professional technician to do so if you do not feel comfortable performing the repair.
7.Replace the motherboard by disassembling the computer. Document every connection and be sure to retain all screws and small parts in order to reassemble the computer correctly. Reassemble the computer and power it up; check the keyboard to make sure that it has been reconnected properly. Replace the video card by removing any covers or plates that hide the card. Remove the old card and install the new card in its place. Power up the computer to test the display.

I turned on the pc, the screen is blank, but blue lights are blinking to the side. The wifi light is amber. I reseated all easily removable parts, but it is still black screen. It doesn't even go to...

Losing the display on a laptop or notebook computer is a perplexing and frustrating problem. It's a problem that is somewhat difficult to diagnose, and can require specialized tools and a considerable financial outlay to repair. When the display on a laptop computer stops working, the computer is usually not worth the investment to repair.

1.Diagnose the problem with your computer. Watch the screen from the moment you hit the power button through the time it should take to boot into the Operating System.
Adjust the computer's contrast and brightness through their full ranges to make sure that the display settings have not been changed.
Reset the computer's LCD-External Monitor display with the LCD/External Monitor key combination and reboot the computer.
Continue to Step 2 if the screen is blank throughout the booting process.

What is the adjustable plus and minus dial in the upper part of the machine by the tension spring

Most likely the tension adjustment dial. Is this on the front of the machine head or on top above the pressure foot.

If it is close to the tension device then it will be the top thread tension adjustment dial, these are usually numbered from zero to 10. Normal setting 4-5.

If it is a knob directly above the pressure foot, then it will be the adjustment for how much pressure the presser foot applies to the fabric, some machines allow you to adjust this; if you are sewing very light fabric you might need to add a little pressure. Or very heavy coat weights you'd need to slacken it off a little.
