<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a new Emu XL7 (a complete blast!) but one of the keypads is very flaky (mainly dead).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is definitely not the rubber pad or the rubber contacts. I’ve cleaned these all up and done various experiments..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think the issue is a flaky light sensor of some description.. In the below picture, the square component marked U1 is some sort of light sensor; you can trigger the sounds by putting your finger over these. Anyway, the faulty one I can get working by pressing it around a bit but after I re-assemble, it eventually stops working again.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So my questions are:</p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -18.0pt;"><!-- [if !supportLists]> --><span>1)<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!-- <![endif] -->What is this component?</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -18.0pt;"><!-- [if !supportLists]> --><span>2)<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!-- <![endif] -->Will it be easy to find a modern replacement?</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent: -18.0pt;"><!-- [if !supportLists]> --><span>3)<span style="font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span><!-- <![endif] -->It’s VERY small so is it going to be impossible to swap out?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Big thanks for any reply’s..</p>
