When I turn on the GDEC3 the screen lights up as normal and the word "Fender" appears on the screen. That sits there for about 12 seconds, then a millisecond display of the GDEC Logo, then a "click" through the speaker and the screen goes back to blue with nothing on it. Then the Fender logo appears again and it repeats the same sequence of events. The problem has been there for a while but previously after an period of time it seemed to find it's place in the process and start. Then it runs fine. But now it is not finding its place and just keeps going round. And just when I was about start using the amp much more frequently!!
During one on the times when it was working I updated the Firmware but that doesn't seem to have helped.

Try looking inside the thing and look for any loose or open wires, sometimes the solder gets damaged and becomes disfunctional. There may be either a problem with the display or the power output/input. If you can't identify a problem, try taking it to a guitar store and see if they can. These amps unfortunately aren't known for lasting too long, especially with the electronics, so you might want to consider upgrading to a better amp.
Hope you can get it fixed! :D
