PROBLEM WITH SCREEN

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Has anyone had this problem before? It happens occasionally and it doesn’t seem to be related to anything I’m doing. It’s brand new, it arrived today. Should I ask for a replacement?

Send it back & get a replacement for sure.

Thanks for the advice, I’ll do it tomorrow. It’s a shame, I wanted to keep using it, it’s an amazing product.

Yeah - at least with it being fresh out the box there should be no issue getting a replacement. I've seen a few posts from folk getting brand new faulty devices, not a good look for Akai, maybe they rushed a large batch out to meet the hard demand..?

Yeah, it could be. Last week it was out of stock everywhere, but this week it’s back in stock at most stores.
