Are you able to return it to Guitar Center for a refund, or are you past your return window? Sounds like a bum unit.

Take it back! Let them test it in front of your face.

Mine did that a few times when I was on the 2.7 firmware. I just left it unplugged for a few minutes and then it was fine. It hasn't happened yet on 2.8.

Just happened to me. I’ve had mine for 1 year, no problems. Just tried to turn it on and the screen & pads flickered for a second and then nothing. It’s like the power button wouldn’t stay on (not that that makes sense).
