Subject: SDS7 Program Selector Pad issues

From: <music@...>
Date: 2014-02-27

Hi Everyone...

I have an SDS7 Selector Pad that until recently was working flawlessly. Now, when pressed or tapped, several of the 16 pad buttons on the thing do not respond and the program on the SDS7 fails to advance to the assigned Pgm. I've recreated the Prog Sel Pad Pgm assignments again but same result.

Before I pop the thing open, would anyone have an idea of what might be the cause of this? The unit has never seen the Road or been mishandled.. and resides in a smoke free studio.

Broken or cracked wiring? Button Contacts corroded?
Thoughts?

Cheers and thanks!
Alan
