Hello,
first of all: It does not matter what colour you are, what religion you practice or where you come from. For me, your information about the malfunction of your snare module is simply not enough. I can check or repair the module only if I have it in my shop.
The first steps you can check yourself are: What happens if you put the module into another slot? You only need a phillips screwdriver to unscrew the 4 scews of the module. May be, if the module is re-seated, it starts working properly. Watch for the small plastic piece sitting in the slot of the edge connector. Is this still there? Compare with other slots. Clean the edge connector! By the way: The edge connector is the small piece of the board sliding into the bus connector of the Simmons SDS V Rack. If the module is not working after all these tries, there are bad components on the card itself and it needs to be fixed. If you need the schematics to give to your repair shop, you can get these from me for FREE. I am sorry that I can't offer you more than this, it is a matter of the distance: I am located in Germany, Europe. Again: Sorry!!!!!!

See you soon

Michael (not god...)
