Hi there, my pog when I plug in my pog to power the led flickers for a few seconds. During this time if I push the bypass switch it seems to crash. If I reconnect power a few times it starts up normally. I thought it seemed like a capacitor issue but they seem ok. Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve found some similar questions on line but no one seems to resolve it. Thanks

I assume from that it does work sometimes?
Try wiggling the power plug (where it plugs into pog)
If it cuts in/out then highly likely the solder has cracked around the power socket.
It's a very common fail mode for many pedal supplies.
