Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hello to all in the group. I am happy to have found out this group 
exists today. I am the proud owner of an SDS5, 7 and 1000M. My 
SDS7 is unhappy at the moment. It had been stored for years 
and a few months back I changed the battery and it did work. 
After a recent move I went to power it up and all I get is the LED's 
lit on the control panel but no digits in the display. The Prog 
lights are lit for all 5 boards and the Trig lights flash when 
triggered. I am not sure what is going on. Am I in some strange 
mode? Perhaps I have the front panel board and Memory board i 
the wrong order? They are currently (Left to Right after the 12 
Voice Cards ) Front panel board then Memory board then the 
transformer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 
Charles.

Welcome!

I don't know about the Prog's, but at least the flashing Trig lights 
are normal. I guess it's possible that your display isn't making 
contact somewhere. Have you tried programming anything since changing 
the battery? Mine just died, so maybe I'll have something more to add 
after I change it.

Good luck,

Scott
