How often does your KPA1500 lose its mind?

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

Just curious, I couldn't remotely power on and talk to my KPA1500 today,
and I had to power cycle using the switch on the power supply. When it
came back up, it was all black boxes on the top row of the display.

It needed a firmware (re-)upload and it seems to be fine now, but I'm
just wondering how common that is.

Thanks.

There was a thread about this happening to someone else back in January:

It was suggested that the state of the REM input might have something to do
with it in some cases:

Ah. So the KPA1500 wasn't powering on, so I cycled the 240V PS, and the
REM input was probably high since the K3 was already powered on.

Thanks for reminding me of that.
