The power light flashes to illuminate (sorry, can't help myself sometimes) a problem in the electronics on the previous run. Since you noticed harder shifting, then the power light flash, it probably means the dropping resistor has a) failed, or b) bad connection (loose, corroded, etc). Look at David's site to test what the power light code means. http://svx-iw.com/

yeah as Weasel said, IT IS ALIVE.......... just say that you will not sell it anymore, and it will be the cheapest fix ever in SVX's history

Check on http://svx-iw.com/ in the codes section for a description of all the errors. 11 is normally caused by a bad resistor.
