Hello All!....Just joined the forum though I've been a user of the VFX series off and on for many years....I just picked up an SD-1 32 voice off ebay and it worked OK the first time I intially tried it out but on the next time I fired it up, right away it started throwing out error messages (133 I think was one) but would say to reintialize which it did on it's own and then go right into an error again and again...I noticed it kind of works itself out the longer I leave it on....Is this the infamous hardwire fix that needs to be done?....Thanks so much for the help.....moon

I do...it's called a trapv instruction error, but don't ask me what  
causes it...seriously

It could be a poly board separation issue, go to our files section  
here and learn how to check. The poly board fix is visual, if you  
don't have the ribbon cable going between the two boards hard soldered  
on...you need it done.

This error 133 shows as a software issue error but could be something  
else, do you know what OS your running? and firmware?

This does sound like the "hardwire fix"; however, you might try reseating the chips on the board. This cleared up some of the errors I found on two SD-1s. Be careful not to bend or snap the chip leads.
