So I got my empeg back today after getting it repaired from the 4 foot swan dive in the parking lot. Worked great at work under AC power. On the drive home, I go over the first speed bump in the parking lot and the display freaks out, all kinds of gibbersih characters, then nothing. No sound, just the pulsating of the power light. Pressing of the buttons produced nothing. When I got home I tried to connect to it via ethernet. Power-up on AC gives different gibberish and no IP address for the empeg.

I'm thinking it's the drive cable getting jarred loose. It's never happened before but I suspect either the shipping or service for the display repair is the source of the loose connection and the bump in the lot did the rest. I'll email support but was just wondering if this is reflective of what one sees in this case. I really hope I don't have to send it back across the pond again...
