A few minutes after I had sent my reply, I switched on my Trident and
found it out of order. Obviously, the CPU board is in trouble, it
"displays values" on the patch selection LEDs which are impossible.
(Like patch 4 and 5 active at the same time.)
The battery is still in perfect condition.
So this falsified my assumption.
Right now, it came up working perfectly. I hate those kind of errors.
Furhermore it makes a little bit of low rumble on the output every once
a while.
Maybe I should check the output of the power supply.

Hehe. Sounds like a plan, to have one spare device. I wouldn't complain
about having another Trident.
