Yeah. They just give up one day with no drama, switch it on, OT seems bricked, panic, run the startup menu, realise the OT isn’t getting past the boot because it can’t without a card etc.
It’s happened to me and at least a few dozen other folk on the forum when I was looking into why my OT wasn’t working.
Yup that was my thread, exact same behaviour. Good luck.
Thanks there good man. Im sure they will fix the prob .) was a bit bummed yesterday, happy today that it will be in the right hands.
Amazing that mine happened on Dec 22, 2 years ago 
funny timing … worst part was not having it for the holiday break.
Nice coincidence. Yeah Ive just kinda of managed to crack the code with my Octa and was looking forward to finally start working on a set, So yeah… bummer. the sweet and sour will continue on xmas day when I open the one thing I asked for - a nice octatrack stand
