Re: [DW8000] DW-8000 not working please Help!

2006-02-22 by Stefan Rinass

Hi, welcome :)

Red lines and flashing lights are imo the result of a defect ROM/RAM or
the contacts of the ROM/RAM need to be re-wired or re-soldered. As many
other Synths with CPU�s also do, the ROM needs to be first copied into
the RAM, so the DW can work with it. If the DW-CPU has a internal
RAM/ROM, you have to order a new CPU from KORG (if it�s still
available).

Maybe there�s also Trash inside the program memory. Clear RAM procedure:
Turn off the DW, hold down number keys 5 and 8, turn it on. if the DW
works now, re-load the factory sounds from Tape.

Greetings

Stef
