Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] Regelwerk issues

2016-09-22 by christian ienni

some years back i had the same exact thing start happening with my (also blue) Regelwerk, and Dieter is right: it was the battery! opened the unit, desoldered the old one, installed a brand new one (standard 3.6v type) and it's been going gangbusters since!

Hello,

the ser.no. tells me that the unit has been manufactured in 1999. If the
battery has never been changed I'm quite sure that it is defective and has
to be replaced.
Details on the FAQ page of our website:

www.doepfer.com > English > FAQ > General > Lifespan of rechargeable
batteries (used for memory backup)

If it's not the battery please contact Christian Assall
(software@doepfer.de). He's the Regelwerk specialist. But he is still on
holiday for 2 weeks.

Best wishes
Dieter Doepfer
