�mne: [Simmons Drums] SDS7 repairs





So,



my SDS7 died a few weeks ago.



It has 12 modules and runs very hot. The rectifier for the +5V made a noise

and the display flickered in and out.



I�ve removed all modules and the CPU starts and run with no problem.

Reseating modules one at a time works fine but the more modules that are

connected, the more there is noise on the +5V rail ( no kidd....lol ). The

VCO�s sound garbled and the audio output has hum.



I have replaced the capacitor on the +5V rail but there is still around 1V

AC half wave noise on it. Both before the regulator and after the regulator.

This leads me to believe that I need to replace the rectifier bridge with

one that can output more current.



Does anyone have any suggestion for a suitable one ?



WT
