Lexicon MX400 freeze at startup!

Hello Helpers,
A problem with my Lexicon MX400.
It used to work good, but now every time I turn it on, it stucks on boot, the LCD screen displays LEXICON MX400 with all messy pixels around, and the other screen shows the 1.2 firmware version... That's it... It stays there all day long!...
I tried to reflash it, the computer detects it, but it says Unrecognizable USB device! So when I launch NetUpdater, it says no compatible device found!
Any help please? Thank you very much!

    Try the reset?

    Power up while holding the System button. Then let go and press Store.

    I did... Even if the LCD doesn't display well when this problem occurred, but I could read the text asking me to restore, then I pressed and hold the store button, the device restarts, but just to freeze again! Same thing!
    I also tried the Store and Bypass combination while powering up, the led screen shows number 06 then shows Up... But when I launch NetUpdater from PC, it's says no device found !...
    please help!

    Unfortunately, I have no other options for you to try to troubleshoot the device, and the only option would be service, but we are actually discontinuing service on the MX Series here shortly due to no more parts availability due to them being discontinued at the production level for about 8-9 years now...

    The other option is that you can contact an Authorized Service Center as well if you so choose for your repair:

    Bear in mind Authorized Service Centers are autonomous from our organization and are not required to follow our warranty terms or service fees

    Between you and I though, the amount of money you spend on a repair through a 3rd party will likely be more than what the device is worth on the secondhand market...

    Wish I had better news for you than this.

    It seems like your Lexicon MX400 is having a boot issue and isn't being recognized by your computer. To troubleshoot, try power cycling the unit by disconnecting it for a few minutes before powering it back on. If that doesn't help, switch to a different USB port or use another cable to rule out a connection problem. You can also try performing a factory reset (refer to the manual for instructions). If the issue persists, connect it to another computer to see if it's recognized there. If none of these steps work, you may need to reach out to Lexicon support or consider professional repair, as it could be a deeper hardware problem.
