Have you opened the unit to make sure all cables and ROM(s) are seated properly ? The ROMs use a similar type socket to PC memory and sometimes either need contacts cleaned or reseating..... If this unit was recently shipped it could be a possibility....... Bob Corona/Riverside, CA

Well, I pulled it apart and checked all the ribbon cables and they were fine. I cleaned the contacts on the ROM with isopropyl alcohol and reseated it. But still no joy! :( I lodged a case with EMU but I don't hold too much hope there. Anybody got any more ideas? cheers Greg --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "Bob S." <tttsystems@e...> wrote: > Have you opened the unit to make sure all cables and ROM(s) are seated properly ?

Good work ! Sorry it didn't work but we have to rule out simple things first. So let's dig deeper. How often does it occur and does it happen only during certain actions/activities? Will the original owner confess to this being a problem when he had it? Or did it start happening after it was shipped to you ? How stable your power (dropouts or noise/glitches)? We are basically taking about an address error in the imbedded computer system. Bob Corona/Riverside, CA

Thanks Bob, I haven't heard back from the original owner yet - Xmas and all... The unit appears to be in excellant physical condition. The fault appears to happen after the unit has been in operation for a while (heat? - I have noticed the machine runs warmish...). It can happen when sitting idle (not playing) or any other given moment.... cheers Greg --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "Bob S." <tttsystems@e...> wrote: > Good work !

Might want to open it up and make sure all the connectors are seated properly. Sometimes they get lose in shipping and that can cause problems. rEalm --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "groakes2000" <groakes@i...> wrote:
