I bought a 2488 off craigslist for 200 bucks. He brought it to my work, showed me it functions and I bought it.
This was a mistake.
IlFirst I got error code 01 so I disassembled the unit, cleaned all the dust out with canned air, made sure all connections were solid and removed the wire tires that were causing unnecessary stress on the connectors. I also went ahead and used contact cleaner and cleaned the transport because it was not functioning correctly. Then I reassembled it and it booted through everything fine and I started to record. I managed to record 5 songs of 6 tracks. Then I got system error code 02 Then I did a hard reset and started over. I set up to record again and about 2 mins into tracking today I got the message “ MTR STOPPED!!! HOST-DSP in error state. “ I then exited out of the prompt and the unit was locked up. I tried to shut down but it said cannot shut down while transport is playing. So I manually shut down and now I’m here. I’m stumped. I need to record tomorrow it’s there anything I can do short of replacing the hard drive? I can’t order one until next weekend
