ESX - Sample flashing and can't be heard?

I thought it was a one off glitch but it's happened again.
I goto load a sample to a drum part and the name of the sample displays, the sample number blinks and I can't hear anything when I hit the drum part or put some in the sequencer.
Once It happens whichever sample I try and select the number keeps flashing and there's no sound, the only way I've found of getting rid of this is to totally wipe the pattern, I've tried moving, copying, clearing the part and motion.
Have I accidently pressed something or is this a glitch with the machine? I can't find anything in the manual about it.

Thanks for any help!

You checked the level and pan of the part? Filter? Is it routed through some FX? Start position?
Is the part set to use a specific slice from a sliced sample?

Sorry to point out what may be obvious to some, but there are many things that could be wrong.

Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion, I think I've figured it out.

Here's what's happening incase any one else has this problem (i'm using a ESX-1).
I have all mono samples but some samples are stored where the stereo ones are in the memory so it treats them as stereo even when there not.
So if I put a mono sample from the stereo range of sample space on drum part 3, part 4 just flashes because it thinks the one on 3 is stereo and I can't use the sample.

Yep.. but, they probably are stereo. Did you edit them with any software? If so, even if the source was mono, you would also need to export as mono to keep it mono. Does this make sense?
