Vintage Synth Repair

Hello!

The photo is here! It's in the vintagesynthrepair photos section ( to 
the left side of the screen).
Funny thing, I decided to take one final crack at the ol' SH' last 
night. When I opened it up, I noticed that I had knocked a umm.... 
small silver thing that looks a capacitor with eight connectors that 
plugs into a blue thing... Anyway I had knocked it loose during a 
previous repair attempt! Oops! So the synth is now back to the up and 
running stage, which makes me really happy... But it's still freakin' 
noisy! Is it possible that the connecters(white plastic plugs)just 
need a good cleaning? 
Thanks for the help!

Wotzit.

the first thing I noticed was the presence of several "custom made" 
ICs. They are not exactly custom made in the sense the IC was 
designed for Roland. Roland just took a bunch of components, solded 
into a single small board and covered it with epoxi. I believe this 
was a security measure to avoid circuit copies but it makes the 
repair far more dificult.
