Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Re: My Series III booting up (or not!)

2007-11-13 by Harald Feldmann

Hi David,

I was told a while ago that having no battery should not be an issue and
the unit would work fine without it. Now, I removed the batteries from
pretty much all my systems to prevent leakage... I have them in storage
now, so I have not tried them, but I would be surprised that it would not
work without a battery because how did it get working the first time then
if it is a matter of settings ?

For new batteries, there was a thread here recently about a replacement
version with longer leads. Probably one month ago or so.

Have you reseated all the cards ?

Regards,
Harald
