Why the hell did i wait sooo long to get one? What an incredible machine. I’m already considering selling my 2nd Octatrack to get a 2nd OP-1. Anyway, another story, another time.
Right…This Op-1 keeps shutting down after a few hours use. The only way to switch it back on again is to connect the usb cable & power on whilst connected to my Mac. I can then remove the usb cable & switch on/off as normal. But the a few hours later it shuts down again. The Battery’s fully charged, so we can rule that out.
Have you tried a factory reset already? If that does not work then I’m afraid it could be some HW malfunction, in which case you must contact TE (or your re-seller) to get it serviced.
I tried a factory reset but a few more issues have come to light. I bought it from Amazon.co.uk & have literally just packed it up & sent it back for a replacement. In 23 years of buying kit i’ve never encountered 1 problem, until now.
I’m not stressing though. It’s an amazing bit of kit & if the replacement works fine i’ll be over the moon. This thing’s a game changer for me. Think i’ll get a 2nd one + OPlab to sync them.
I’ve received 2 NEW OP-1 in as many days. Both batteries show as fully charged but both units keep shutting down on their own, so something’s wrong, FACT!
What’s not to get annoyed about? £600 notes on something not working from new is an issue. & your pointless sarcasm is just brilliant, thanks so much!
@Artsutanov The OP-1 battery indicator can be a bit “temperamental” at times, but I guess it is usually the other way around, i.e., it will show that the battery is almost depleted but still last for many hours. Anyway, it may be worth charging your OP-1 for a few hours (say, at least four) before using it the first time. Then use up all the battery charge and recycle it again. That may fix the battery level algorithm.
Note that when the OP-1 is turned off AND charging, the LEDs should scroll. After the charge is completed, the LEDs should turn off. I say should because some people have reported different behaviors there…
Also, if you need to leave your OP-1 turned on to fully discharge the battery, make sure you leave it is a screen that keeps changing, like the tombola sequencer, in order to preserve the OLED display.
Maybe i’m being a little bit OTT in your case. You did suggest my Battery Indicator might be acting crazy, so thanks for that info. But to state the obvious, that a battery won’t be fully charged after a few hrs usage annoyed me a little.
