Re: [chromapolaris] Chroma Polaris Lights up, but makes no sound.

From my understanding, when the batteries go flat you loose all the stored settings and have to go through an elaborate calibration procedure to get it going again.
(Section 6 in the Service Manual: What to do if you lose your memory)
I have a similar issue, but I can't recalibrate until I've replaced the membrane switches, as some of the (Vital) switches aren't working)

Thanks for the quick replies. I will look at the LEDs and trimmers when I am home again tomorrow. A few things I noticed: a crack in the smaller flat cable for the membrane...bummer. the batteries were pretty nasty. I removed them and brushed the contacts clean. Other than a little corrsion and leakage around the batteries it is very clean. I do have a scope, but really have only used it for viewing wave forms. I also have a meter and am pretty good soldering/desoldering skills if needed...but lets hope I don't have to do any of that. More to come Thanks again all. I really appreciate it. Steve
