Hello !
have you tried sucessfully to download the repair manual of the DK 600?
This been said i completely agree with you. But some were totally
unreliable...IMO due to random manufacturing problems, and a "light"
quality control, not because of a poor design...
The battery leaks were common on Korg Poly 6 too, most of those that you
can find now have been repaired, or will die from this disease sooner or
later. Put this f.. battery anywhere in the case, but not on a PCB !
We've had the same issues at work with backup batteries for CMOS static
RAMs.
Cheers
J.F.
