I'm having issues with a 60 gig empeg I bought recently. I've had a 30 gig installed in my truck and all I'm doing is switching the units. I just pulled one out and put the other in. The 30 gig is a Mark 2a and works great. The 60 gig is a Mark 2 and uh, doesn't work so great.

I've read a bunch of the faq entries on the negative spike bug as well as a bunch of previous posts about the topic and the player seems like it has that issue. It doesn't seem to save the state each time I turn the key. It reverts back to the same position for a while, and then randomly changes. Or it'll keep starting on the wrong source or something. It NEVER saves the volume setting, always starts very low. Okay, so maybe its the negative spike bug.

But then on top of that I noticed that often, when its booting up, it'll get stuck on either "Building Player Database", or the step that says "Audio something or other". It'll just get stuck there, and then I pull it out and put it back in and it will either do the same thing, or boot up properly. It does this frequently. Other times it freezes on the bootup animation. The player only has about 30 gigs on it right now and synchs up with Emplode just fine.

So how screwed am I?
