Re: [AN1x] All D-keys and All Gis-keys don't work

2006-03-25 by Jeff

Hi Bob !
mine plays perfectly ...  and i don't know where ondrash77 lives !
You're right , the first thing to do is to check if all the ribbon 
cables between the keyboard and other(s) PCBs are well fitted in their 
sockets on both sides .

For ondrash77 , have a look at http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/htm/an1x.php 
(sorry it's in german ...) : there are wiews of the inner parts of an 
AN1X , just to get an idea of what is inside the case . Be careful , 
don't remove anyting without  marking the connectors , and be very 
careful with rhe screws . A lot of them are fitted into plastic , and 
don't let a loose screw inside ! The wide PCBs are fragile , don't bow 
them too much , you can break copper tracks or a solder of a SMD I.C.
If  connector contacts , pins .. are dirty or oxydized you can use 
cleaning fluids for electronics such as KF cleaner (very useful for 
"scratching" pots too) , wipe out the excess cleaner before mounting . 
You can also clean all "suspect" traces on the keyboard PCB (beer, soda 
..) which can sometimes be found there! But one more time : act slowly 
and carefully , and if you know an electronics hobbyist he could be 
helpful .
And don't worry , the AN1X seems to be a reliable machine , mine is a 97 
model , has known different owners and is still perfectly playable !

Bob S. a \ufffdcrit :

>I don't actually have an AN1x yet (although I might have been bidding on this one that has a problem) but most keyboard mechanisms in synths are connected to the scanning circuit or main board via a removable cable/connector.  If you have any DIY desires, you can open the unit and see if the cable has become unseated or broken during shipping to ?France?

>>Hello !

>>this function is done ... and i don't want to know it too soon !! 
>>Because modern customer electronics often use hard to find custom ICs

>>Send it back to your dealer or look for someone to repair it .
