Subject: Re: [yamahacs80] CS50 Whine...

Can you remove the supply, give it all needed dummy loads, and or short sense lines to their respective power lines? Then you can determine if it is strictly from the supply, or a function of the load inducing a resonant freq, or other anomaly. I assume you have a scope.

Only two fuses on the CS50.
Voltages are all there, but there's this signal sitting on top of them.
Synth works fine other than the whine, and a duff LFO chip.

Thinking it's got to be a duff semiconductor/ IC on the PSU :-(

Hi


Just servicing a CS50, and it's constantly outputting a whine of about 4120Hz.

Unit came to me a bit battered as the PSU had shaken loose and trashed a few things inside.
PSU PCB had become cracked, so replaced that with a working one purchased from Synthparts.
Recapped the new PCB before I fitted it.

I've done the usual, changed the logic on the KAS board and the S/H board, replaced power decoupling caps throughout etc.

The only difference is that originally it took a minute or so to manifest... now it manifests immediately.

I can see the signal on all power lines.


Any thoughts?
