Immediately cease inducing physical shock and/or
deflection to your EII motherboard.

It's time to delicately (as in mind the ESD) reseat
every single chip in your machine. Mind all the
removable connectors too while at it. It's a fact of
life when you own something from this period- Prophet,
Oberheim, Lexicon alike. Nothing beats a small flat
jeweler's screwdriver and some patience. Stay
grounded, it's winter in this good hemisphere. [w]
