[sdiy] help with uQ repair

I did search for the service manual but could only find people claiming 
they are very hard to find and not public.
I would LOVE a link to the service docs!

I only found the service manual for the wave,

I checked 3.3V from the LF33CV and the 5V rail from the 7805 with the 
big heat sink.
I also checked that the clocks are present.
Tried contacting waldorf a few days ago regarding service documents but 
got no response so far.

I'll have a closer look at the data and address lines of the flash 
memory next.

Thanks for all the help!

Best,
Julian
