Help (OT, feel free to delete)

2002-02-02 by sucrosemusic

Ok, it's OT, but personal e-mail replies (to overand@...) 
would be appreciated.

I finally did it, I baked my Juno-106.  My Voice 5+6 DCO chip went 
bad (for the second time) not playing square waves on voice 5.  So I 
ordered up a new one and installed it.  Now (after one goofy power-up 
with a bad solder joint, oops, which caused vocies 5-6 to be totally 
dead) it's running fine, aside from the fact that ALL my sawtooth 
waves are gone, no sawtooth on any voice.  I must have seriously 
baked something, or goofed up a cable somewhere, or sliced a trace, 
but there's no sawtooth at all anymore.

I'm stressing out like I've never stressed with the Juno before.  
Granted I can replace it for something on the order of $350 - $450, 
but I like this one, it's been through a bit with me, and now I've 
wounded it.

Arrgh.  Feel free to ignore, or to forward me to an appropriate post, 
but I'm not a complete electro-ninny, i'm just not an engineer.  I've 
checked *every* trace going from the chip out, as far as I can tell, 
on boths sides of the board, and they're all good.  Also, no two 
adjacent pins seem to be shorted.

Gr.

-Geoff (overand@...)
