Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hello everybody,

 I haved some problems on my VFX, and I solved them.
Now, I want to provide some, maybe helpfull informations to other 
members.
 I read on the net about problems like system crashes and error 
messages that i have too on my VFX, and many comments about that like 
electro-static discharge etc. But i find some other cause of this 
problems. That is bad factory solderings on VFX's motherboard. I find 
and solved two of them: 

1. on midi connectors and 
2. power plug on motherboard,

 I resoldered this connections and problems is disepeared but if you 
enough patient and have enough time, good idea is to re-soldering 
carefully all connections on the motherboard.

Battery replacement:

 From old PC computer motherboard I disassemble battery layer, and 
placed them very easy on VFX motherboard (pin distance is the same). 
This will enable to use standard-"button" baterry type for 
replacement. I think, in my VFX now is Panasonic 3V CR2032 battery, 
that works very good.

CAUTION: When soldering battery layer, TAKE CARE ABOUT 
POLARISATION !!!

NOTE: I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY OCCUR 
DURING OR AFTER THIS REPAIRS. ALL THIS YOU DOING ON YOUR OWN RISK !!!

Best regards,

Dariusmidi.
