Re: Ensoniq VFX-SD issues
2002-08-07 by max zape
my friend chris, the power supply in the VFX-SD/SD-1 has always been problematic---->just try plugging your board w/o a line conditioner: you'll get the famous blinking display. the memory battery uses the same ground as power supply. my suggestion was to first fix your low battery problem, then work on the outputs. I had the exact similar problem [keyboard wouldn't work and internal rom wouldn't come up] which rectified itself with a battery replacement. go figure. As to your output problem; check all jacks and make sure your plugs have a snug fit---->a simple "bend-back" will fix this. kiss it? lighten up, mi amigo, we're all friends here.... max www.mp3.com/hemisphere To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: Ensoniq-VFX-SD-unsubscribe@egroups.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ There are 4 messages in this issue.

Mortensen, Jr." Subject: RE: Digest Number 209 Chris, First, ya shoulda bought mine when you had the chance! Anyway, yeah, it's likely something on the main board. Are you getting any kind of error messages (other then the low battery) when you power up? Check the cables running from the top panel and back panel to the main board for loose connectors, and make sure that any chips in sockets are properly seated. And, replace the battery. I know this shouldn't have an effect, but it is a microprocessor-based system. Too low a battery voltage may have it confused. Hope this helps! Geren W.
