Oberheim Matrix 6 Display Issues?

2016-02-19 by fknchino@...

Hey everybody!


A while back my Matrix started playing up one day at a friends house and kept on turning off randomly.


One day I took it home and from what I can remember, the sounds were completely off and the display was jumbled, then shortly after it stopped turning on.

I performed a diy fixes myself and replaced the caps and rails, assuming it could have been a PS problem.


Replaced some buttons, bought and replaced some CEM chips, replaced the battery, hell I even replaced most caps with 'audiophile' grade nichicon caps for fun.


Currently, I've got my Matrix 6 with a tech right now and he thinks there might be something wrong with the display- hence why the matrix isn't booting at all.


The power supply was tested and found nothing wrong.


It's been over a few months and I havn't brought it up since, he suggested it could be a tricky job trying to identify the root cause.


Can anyone help with this?


Would love to see this baby home safe soon.
