Re: Polysix no sound => good sound

2005-12-15 by hansomchaam

Hello,
After fixing the battry problem there was still no sound so I got 
into complex research.
Thanks to Johannes Hausensteiner who helped me step by step by 
interpreting pictures of my measured signals the problem is located.
With a little bit of shame I admit that the problem was simply..... 
ALL of the keyboard keys are bad, more than 5 kohm when pressing so 
I have to clean them as on old-crows site.
Thanks everyone for the helpfull tips.
Han.
